EastEnders’ Bianca Jackson ‘d.e.a.t.h sealed’ as fans ‘point out’ impending health crisis
EastEnders fans are worried Bianca Jackson's health is going to take a turn for the worse after she's spent weeks being held captive by k.i.l.l.e.r accountant Reiss Colwell
EastEnders enthusiasts are growing increasingly concerned for the wellbeing of Bianca Jackson (portrayed by Patsy Palmer), who has been held captive by Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman) for several weeks.
Reiss, a murderous accountant, has kept her confined in a lock-up since November after she stumbled upon evidence linking him to the m.u.r.d.e.r of his comatose wife Debbie in a care home last year. His reign of terror commenced when he suffocated Debbie to alleviate his financial troubles, having emptied her bank account to finance Sonia Fowler’s (Natalie Cassidy) IVF treatment.
Sonia, who is pregnant, was subsequently arrested for Debbie’s m.u.r.d.e.r and has been detained on remand as she awaits trial. Viewers witnessed Reiss visiting Sonia in prison prior to her court appearance on Monday (January 13), where she expressed her distress over not having heard from her sister Bianca since her plea hearing.

The scene then shifted to Reiss visiting Bianca in the storage unit where she has been living since November. Bianca appeared unkempt, chained to a wall with only old video tapes for company, reports the Manchester Evening News.
On Wednesday (January 15), Reiss brought Bianca pie and mash, and she unexpectedly invited him to join her for dinner after surviving on noodles and biscuits, an invitation he accepted.
Before Reiss exited the lock-up, Bianca feigned excruciating stomach pains and desperately implored him to take her to the hospital, but he dismissed her cries for help.

Yet, avid EastEnders watchers have been quick to speculate on the severe health issues Bianca might face due to her confinement without adequate movement, exposure to sunlight, or proper nutrition, suggesting she could be in serious peril.
On social media platform X, a particularly observant fan pointed out: “#EastEnders more important than Bianca’s toilet arrangements are muscle wasting and vitamin deficiencies she will have after 3 months tied up in a warehouse being fed biscuits by Reiss. Although I expect the scriptwriters will have Bianca running the Marathon upon her escape.”
Another chimed in with concern: “Bianca’s not seen any natural sunlight for like 2 months now. She’d be a lot more ****** than the way she was looking there! #EastEnders.”
A third added their voice to the discussion: “Wouldn’t Bianca be seriously ill after 3m in a lock up? #EastEnders”. Meanwhile, another viewer questioned, “Is Bianca really sick ? #EastEnders”.
EastEnders airs Monday – Thursday at 7:30pm on BBC One and iPlayer
