EastEnders: Reiss must d.i.e as punishment for his crimes
Fans have called for the head of Reiss
Fans of EastEnders have demanded that villainous Reiss Colwell die as punishment for his crimes. These crimes, for the uninitiated, include smothering his comatose wife, Debbie, to death – and then letting pregnant Sonia take the rap.
And then, when his guilty secret was uncovered by Bianca, he kidnapped her and held her hostage in a sound-proofed lockup. He managed to clear Sonia’s name with a confession video from Bianca, but things are quickly spiralling out of his control.
And, with Sonia now asking some difficult questions, Reiss can only keep his secret for so long. With Reiss’s final scenes in the soap reportedly having already been filmed, his exit is imminent – but how will he leave Walford?
Reiss must d.i.e, demand EastEnders fans
Many fans are hoping that Reiss will d.i.e before he leaves Walford. And, in the opinion of such viewers, it would be a well-deserved end.
“I cannot wait to watch Reiss die,” said one viewer on X last night.
“After seeing Bianca this week looking so defeated and her food being rationed I really hope someone – preferably her – k.i.l.l.s him and gets off Scott free. idk why it makes me feel so sad seeing her like that. So I really just want Reiss to d.i.e,” another said on Reddit recently.
“I think he will try to k.i.l.l himself, but he will die accidentally while trying to k.i.l.l himself in the most painful way,” said a third.
“Can somebody just k.i..ll off Reiss, he is totally and utterly unhinged!” begged another fan.

Everything we know about Reiss’s exit so far
Actor Jonny Freeman has already filmed his final scenes on the soap, celebrating with his fellow co-stars at a party. And, with soaps filming months in advance, that means Reiss’s exit isn’t too far away.
But what will his exit look like? Will he go out with a bang for the show’s 40th anniversary? Or – more likely, knowing Reiss as we do – a whimper?
The soap hasn’t confirmed how Reiss’s story will end, but with so many loose ends dangling, he can’t keep his secret for long. There’s a lot of evidence out there, just waiting to be uncovered. It only remains to be seen whether he will end up in prison, worm his way out of justice… or d.i.e trying.
