Reiss' escape from Phil in EastEnders ends in failure.

Next week in EastEnders, we see Reiss Colwell's money problems finally catch up with him. The deadline to pay back his debts to Phil Mitchell, Walford's resident hard man, has arrived and Reiss is feeling the pressure. He's been drowning in debt for some time now, even resorting to desperate measures like suffocating his comatose wife Debbie in hopes of solving his financial issues.

But things only got worse when Reiss tried to scam Phil and his business partner Sharon Watts with a fake investment scheme. As Phil grew suspicious and began to make threats, Reiss found himself in a nerve-wracking situation with no cash to repay his debts. In a last-ditch effort to escape Phil's wrath, he tries to convince his fiancée Sonia Fowler to spend the day with him, but she refuses.

And things go from bad to worse when Phil shows up on their doorstep, furious that Reiss hasn't paid him back. Reiss is forced to confess to Sonia that he's supposed to repay Phil today, but he has no way of doing so. Thankfully, Teddy Mitchell comes to the rescue and offers to take on Reiss's debt, something he keeps secret from Sonia.

But secrets have a way of coming out, and Sonia eventually finds out the truth when Sharon accidentally spills the beans. She's furious that Reiss didn't tell her himself and confronts him about making deals with people they barely know. Will Reiss come to regret accepting Teddy's offer? Is it too good to be true?

Unfortunately for Reiss, his luck seems to be running out as he and Sonia are arrested during their engagement party at The Vic for Debbie's murder. Actress Natalie Cassidy, who plays Sonia, says that her character just wanted a quiet life with her fiancé and their baby on the way. But Reiss's constant lies have taken a toll on their relationship, and the truth about Debbie's death may be the final straw.
