EastEnders fans slam Reiss Coleman plot as “lazy” and demand his axe

Reiss at the heart of shocking soap saga

EastEnders fans have blasted the character Reiss Coleman amid a bizarre and dark storyline that’s left viewers baffled. Reiss, revealed as the killer of his wife Debbie, shockingly lets his pregnant partner Sonia take the blame. When Sonia’s cousin Bianca uncovers the secret, Reiss kidnaps her and locks her away for months to keep his dark deeds hidden.

Viewers were stunned that Reiss’s motive for murder was dodging Debbie’s medical bills. But many are crying foul, questioning how he can live his lifestyle while hoarding Bianca in captivity.

Fans spot huge plot holes, slam soap’s logic

  • “How is Reiss supporting himself while running all those lights and still owing Teddy money? Makes no sense!” one fan griped.
  • Another added, “Bianca’s situation is totally unrealistic. She’d be starving, weak and sick. Yet she’s got the energy to fight? What are they thinking?”

These glaring inconsistencies have sparked fury across social media, with fans branding the writing “lazy” and full of holes.

Calls for Reiss to be axed grow louder

Frustration is boiling over with many demanding Reiss’s character is dropped. One viewer fumed, “Reiss is the most pathetic character ever. Just get him off the show already. Too annoying for words.”

Another slammed, “What is this nonsense? Reiss is absolutely ruining EastEnders for me right now.”

Still, some praise the actor’s performance despite the weak plot, with one saying, “Reiss is a pathetic character but the actor nails it. Hats off to him!”

A divisive storyline keeps EastEnders fans talking

The saga has split viewers between those hooked and those exasperated. While some hope for a thrilling resolution, others question the show’s creative choices. As tensions rise, all eyes are on how – and if – Reiss will face justice, or exit in true soap shock fashion.

One thing’s clear: Reiss Coleman has stirred the pot, and EastEnders is buzzing, even if for all the wrong reasons.
