Debbie Colwell is oblivious to what her husband Reiss is up to with Sonia Fowler in EastEnders, but what happened to her? The accountant portrayed by Silent Witness star Jonny Freeman dipped into his wife’s funds as he embarked on an IVF journey with his new girlfriend Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy), determined to welcome a baby of their own after a pregnancy scare. However, the nurse isn’t aware that her beau is stealing money from his comatose wife but she could be due to find out as her sister Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer) caught Reiss red-handed on Monday (June 10). Unbeknownst to her, Debbie is at the core of the rift as Reiss desperately tries to keep his secret under wraps from Sonia, years after leaving his wife behind in the hospital. While not much is known about Debbie, the character portrayed by Jenny Meier has appeared sporadically in the BBC One show since she was first mentioned in early May 2023. Once he became involved with Sonia for the first time in 2022, following Dot Brown’s funeral, Reiss decided to keep Debbie a secret from her but this didn’t last long as Rocky Cotton (Brian Conley) pushed him to come clean after overhearing him talking about his wife. Reiss eventually explained to Sonia that, before settling down in Walford and at No.25, he met and tied the knot with Debbie. The pair once made plans to have their own children together but, as regular fans will recall, Reiss was told he was infertile. Shortly after receiving the news, which seemed to dash all his hopes for a baby, Reiss was watching television while Debbie enjoyed a bath. When he realised his other half was taking longer than usual, Reiss went upstairs to check on her. Aware that anything could happen, Debbie and Reiss had taken up the habit of leaving the bathroom door unlocked in case of an emergency. A mutual promise which allowed them to arrive just in time – when he walked in, Reiss realised that Debbie had had a stroke in her bath. Debbie was subsequently taken to hospital, unable to move, and despite no clue hinting she’ll be awake any time soon, Reiss has continued to visit her regularly, forcing Sonia to share him with another woman. Last year, Reiss decided to make the most of her comatose state to take her money in a bid to make Sonia happy. In more recent scenes, as mentioned, he was caught by Sonia’s sister Bianca asking Debbie for permission to take more of her money. When confronted by Bianca, who hasn’t been fond of Reiss since the pair first met, Reiss argued that Debbie would want what was best for him and Sonia. However, theories have been swirling around online over whether Debbie could wake up and make Reiss (literally or figuratively) pay for stealing her money. Elsewhere, some viewers of the London-based program fear that the accountant could have a murderous streak… and get rid of Debbie once and for all.
