EASTENDERS has confirmed Bianca Jackson’s fate following her confrontation with killer Reiss Colwell.
Creepy accountant Reiss (Jonny Freeman) attacked the soap legend – played by Patsy Palmer – at the end of Wednesday’s instalment.
For weeks, Bianca has believed Reiss murdered his comatose wife Debbie – a correct suspicion.
However, her sister Sonia (Natalie Cassidy) – Reiss’ partner – remains in prison having been wrongly arrested for the crime.
In the latest episode, viewers saw blood on Reiss’ hands as he lugged around a suitcase.
Ultimately, it transpired that the twisted killer hadn’t struck again.
Although Bianca is still alive, she is being held captive by Reiss in a lock-up.
As she threw objects at her captor, it was soon revealed he had chained her to a wall.
Bianca warned him to let her go before they “both do something we might regret”.
Revealing his plan, Reiss said he intends to keep her imprisoned until Sonia’s release.
Meanwhile, the suitcase contained supplies – such as a kettle, fridge and salads.
After Bianca said she needed to use the toilet, Reiss handed her a bucket.
She threw the metal bucket at Reiss’ back as he turned away from her.
This prompted him to leave, as he said: “I’m sorry you did that. I’m going to go now.
“I’ll give you some time to reflect. Hopefully then you’ll realise I’m not the monster you think I am.”
Earlier this year, viewers were left horrified as a cash-strapped Reiss murdered Debbie to remove the costs of her care.
Bianca has never trusted Reiss and is determined to bring him to justice.
But with the latest development, this goal now looks to be even more difficult.
Will the net close in on the murderer soon?
EastEnders continues on BBC One and iPlayer.
