An actor from EastEnders shares that his seemingly calm character has a hidden darker side, and will push his limits even more.

In the latest episodes of EastEnders, Reiss Colwell has found himself in quite a predicament. He's been desperately trying to come up with the money to pay for his wife Debbie's care, even resorting to scamming Sharon Watts. But things only seem to be getting worse for Reiss as he discovers that Debbie will be moved if he can't pay his debts.

Actor Jonny Freeman, who plays Reiss, explained that his character is optimistic and trying his best to fix the situation. However, as things start to fall apart, Reiss finds himself making desperate and morally questionable decisions. He's torn between wanting to do right by his wife and his friend Sonia, but also feeling the pressure to come up with the money.

Under pressure, Reiss decides to scam Sharon again, but he quickly changes his mind when she becomes emotional about Keanu Taylor. Sharon reminds Reiss of how highly Keanu thought of him and how his faith in Reiss helped him get a job. Feeling guilty, Reiss backtracks and promises to help Sharon find a way out of the debt. But as time runs out and Reiss has no other options, he realizes he must continue to scam her.

Despite his best efforts, Reiss can't seem to catch a break. When Sonia shares some good news with him, he sees an opportunity to go through with the scam. He tells Sharon that the charge on her VAT receipt still stands, but it's clear that Reiss is not thinking clearly and is just trying to fix things as quickly as possible.

Reiss is relieved when Sharon agrees to pay the debt, but his happiness is short-lived when Phil Mitchell shows up and starts asking questions. Reiss is now in a risky situation as he tries to convince Phil that everything is under control. Speaking about the storyline, Jonny admitted that Reiss is under a lot of pressure and is not handling it well. He's doing his best, but things just keep going wrong for him.

So, will Reiss be able to find a way out of this mess or will he be caught and have to pay the price? Only time will tell. But one thing is for sure, Reiss is definitely in over his head and things are only going to get more difficult for him. Stay tuned to EastEnders to see how Reiss's story unfolds.
