Hey, did you catch that mistake on last night's episode of EastEnders? Some eagle-eyed fans noticed a major blunder in a scene with Reiss Colwell, who is in a relationship with Sonia Fowler. You see, Reiss has been scamming Sharon Watts to be able to afford IVF treatments with Sonia. But now that Sonia is pregnant, Reiss is starting to worry about how he will support his growing family and pay for his comatose wife Debbie's private care.
In the latest episode, the weight of Reiss' lies was becoming too much for him to handle. Phil Mitchell demanded an explanation for the supposed £13,000 in corporation tax that Reiss and Sharon owed. Of course, this bill was completely made up by Reiss. In a desperate attempt to cover his tracks, Reiss asked Sharon if she would rather invest the money in an investment scheme.
Reiss has been struggling with financial difficulties, so it's no surprise that he resorted to murder. That's right, in a shocking turn of events, Reiss smothered his defenseless wife with a pillow after telling her that he wished she was dead so he could be with Sonia.
But amidst all the high drama, one fan noticed something else that seemed off. It had to do with Reiss and Sonia's family home at No. 25 Albert Square. You see, the large terraced house, which used to belong to Dot Branning, has two downstairs reception rooms, a kitchen, and a connecting hallway. What's interesting is that the interior scenes of this house are not actually filmed inside the real house. They're recorded in a nearby studio at the show's production base in Elstree, Hertfordshire.
This is a common practice in British soaps, as it makes things easier for the large cast and crew to film all together. It also reduces noise pollution from external factors. However, in last night's episode, there was a bit of a goof. As Reiss walked from the living room to the hallway, viewers could catch a glimpse of the fourth wall, which is typically removed to allow better camera access. But what was even more noticeable were the wooden sets from other scenes and the lighting rig on the ceiling. Oops!
Fans were quick to point out this mistake, with one writing, "Did anyone catch the camera shot blip? You can see the back of other sets on the right." Another joked that they would probably miss it even if they watched the episode carefully. It seems this is a recurring issue at No. 25, as someone else mentioned it happening in a scene with Dot, Sonia, and others back in 2019.
It's not the first time a mistake has been noticed on the show. Earlier this year, viewers pointed out a gaffe with Yolande Trueman's kitchen cupboard. It just goes to show that soap fans miss nothing!
