EastEnders’ Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer) takes action to cheer up a struggling Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) as the day of Reiss Colwell’s (Jonny Freeman) funeral approaches next week.
Twisted k.i.l.l.e.r Reiss was k.i.l.l.e.d in the aftermath of the Queen Vic explosion last month, shortly after his crimes had been exposed to his horrified fiancée Sonia.
With Reiss having previously let Sonia take the fall for k.i.l.l.i.n.g his wife Debbie before holding Bianca hostage after she found out the truth, Sonia has understandably not been too sad about his demise.
However, all these events begin to catch up with her next week, and it becomes clear to Bianca she is not coping well.
She remains resolute in her decision not to attend Reiss’ funeral, which Bianca has concerns about.
When her attempts to encourage her to go in order to get some closure fall flat, Sonia then gets a shock when Debbie’s mum Brenda Collins (Nichola McAuliffe) arrives at No.25 and the pair have an unexpected conversation.
Will Sonia have a change of heart about Reiss’ funeral?
Bianca then attempts to raise her spirits with an impromptu baby shower at Harry’s Barn.
But things sour when Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington) makes an ill-judged remark, sparking up Bianca’s infamous temper…
EastEnders airs these scenes from Monday 10 March at 7.30pm on BBC One or stream first from 6am on iPlayer.
