EastEnders* spoilers reveal that next week will bring a shocking twist that leaves

Sonia reeling as Sharon drops a bombshell. Sonia has been standing by Reiss, despite

his many deceptions, but her loyalty is about to be severely tested. As fans are aware,

Reiss is in deep financial trouble after duping Sharon and Phil Mitchell with a fake investment scheme. Phil, growing increasingly suspicious, has issued threatening demands for repayment, setting a strict deadline that is fast approaching. As the deadline looms, Reiss is a nervous wreck, fully aware that he can’t come up with the money. In a desperate attempt to avoid the inevitable confrontation, Reiss suggests that he and Sonia take a day out to escape the pressure, but Sonia, sensing that something is off, refuses to go. Later, Phil arrives, furious and demanding his money. Reiss, unable to hide any longer, is forced to admit that he can’t pay up. Just as tensions reach a boiling point, Sharon and Teddy step in to try to diffuse the situation.

Sonia, seeing the danger they are in, pleads with Sharon to buy them some time. However, the situation takes an unexpected turn when Teddy later decides to take on Reiss’s debt himself, a move that leaves Reiss both relieved and suspicious. Reiss, hoping this lifeline isn’t too good to be true, chooses to keep the news from Sonia, fearing how she might react. Later in the week, Sonia’s world is turned upside down when Sharon reveals that Teddy has taken on Reiss’s debt. The revelation catches Sonia completely off guard, and she is furious that Reiss didn’t tell her himself. This leads to a tense confrontation during one of Sonia’s scans, where she demands answers from Reiss. Sonia’s frustration is palpable, and actress Natalie Cassidy has hinted at the deep disappointment Sonia feels upon learning such crucial news from Sharon rather than from Reiss.

Despite Reiss’s ongoing deceit, Sonia has remained committed to him, largely due to their shared dream of starting a family, particularly after their emotional IVF journey together. However, Sonia’s patience is wearing thin, and the cracks in their relationship are beginning to show. Next week, their troubles will escalate further when the police show up at the Queen Vic, looking for Reiss. Unbeknownst to Sonia, Reiss’s past is darker than she could have imagined. Last month, in a desperate attempt to resolve his financial woes, Reiss smothered his comatose wife Debbie to death. Now, it seems the truth is finally catching up with him, and Sonia may soon be faced with the devastating reality of who Reiss really is. As the pressure mounts and secrets unravel, Sonia and Reiss are headed for a major showdown. The question remains: can their relationship survive the weight of Reiss’s lies, or will Sonia finally reach her breaking point? *EastEnders* fans should brace themselves for a week of intense drama and shocking revelations that could change everything for Sonia and Reiss.
