When we first met Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman) in EastEnders, he was established as a bit of an awkward fellow who took a liking to Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy).

‘There’s a real spark immediately between Reiss and Sonia,’ the show’s boss Chris Clenshaw told us of Reiss’s introduction, while Natalie Cassidy said that Reiss was a ‘shining beacon of light’ in Sonia’s life.
