"Further turmoil ahead for killer Reiss (Picture: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron)\n\n\n\nTeddy Mitchell&#8217;s (Roland Manookian) motive for taking on Reiss Colwell&#8217;s (Jonny Freeman) debt is revealed in EastEnders next week.\n\n\n\nAs viewers of the BBC One soap know, Reiss became Albert Square&#8217;s most unlikely killer after facing an increasing amount of debt.\n\n\n\nHis plan to get out of that?&nbsp;Smothering his comatose wife Debbie to death&nbsp;so that he wouldn&#8217;t have to fork out for her private care fees.\n\n\n\nHe had also made a plot to scam hard man Phil and his business partner Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) with a fake investment scheme at Peggy&#8217;s.\n\n\n\nUnderstandably, when Phil found out, he went mad. Crazy mad.\n\n\n\nSeeing Reiss in a precarious situation, Teddy stepped in and came to the rescue &#8211; offering to take on the debt himself.\n\n\n\nExactly why he posed such a kind gesture remained to be seen, but that all becomes clear next week.\n\n\n\nTeddy wants Reiss to fiddle the books (Picture: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron)\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tTo view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbrowser that\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsupports HTML5\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvideo\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUp Next\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\n\nThings are going swimmingly for Reiss, as he&#8217;s evading justice for the murder of poor Debs whilst his fiancé Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) has been unfairly put behind bars.\n\n\n\nHowever, Teddy soon implores him to work on his books so that he can hide his wealth, even if it means fiddling with them illegally. Whilst Reiss isn&#8217;t best pleased, he knows that he has little choice in the matter.\n\n\n\nWith gossip flying around Walford about a &#8216;guilty&#8217; Sonia, he begins to struggle under the pressure of keeping it a secret.\n\n\n\nWhen Teddy says he needs him to get to work quickly as his ex&#8217;s solicitor is pushing for the books, he tentatively agrees on the condition that he helps prove Sonia&#8217;s innocence.\n\n\n\nThere&#8217;s a HUGHge shock in store (Picture: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron)\n\n\n\nWill Reiss further incriminate Sonia, or tell the truth? (Picture: BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron)\n\n\n\nDoes he know what he&#8217;s getting himself into?\n\n\n\nLater in the week, a reporter accosts Reiss to get an interview over the crime, having been tipped off that he&#8217;s defending Debbie&#8217;s killer. \n\n\n\nHe sits down with the journalist and is pleased when the article casts doubt over Sonia&#8217;s guilt, whilst the rest of the residents make a pact to support her publicly. Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) even chips in for a box of &#8216;Save Our Sonia&#8217; t-shirts!\n\n\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tFollow Metro Soaps on WhatsApp and get all the latest spoilers first!\t\t\t\nWant to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?
