EastEnders star teases dramatic exit as 'it's not looking good' after killer reveal

could be seeing the looming exit of Reiss Colwell very soon, after a dramatic turn of events this week on the soap.

, as Bianca Jackson made a horrifying discovery on Tuesday. Actor Jonny Freeman, who plays Reiss, recently spoke exclusively to The where he teased the end of the character.

Now we might be reaching that end, unless Reiss will find his way out of his latest bother with sister-in-law Bianca. Jonny teased, before the latest development, that it "wasn't looking good" for Reiss amid rumours he could be bowing out.

Reiss killed his ex Debbie at her care home months ago, and soon the police suspected foul play. But it was his pregnant fiancée Sonia Fowler who got blamed and ended up in prison.

Sonia had been seen visiting Debbie that day, and was thought to be the last person to see her alive. Viewers know that Reiss visited her after though and killed her, before sneaking out.

New CCTV footage obtained near the home by Teddy Mitchell finally reveals his guilt, and on Monday we saw Reiss deleting the footage so no one found out the truth. On Tuesday Teddy told Bianca he'd made a copy, amid her hopes to get her sister freed.

Bianca raced home and began watching it, but Teddy soon told Reiss the truth. As Reiss explained why he got rid of it, he faked a story about seeing Sonia fleeing the scene with gloves on.

Finding out Bianca was about to realise what he'd done, Reiss sped home and made his way to the kitchen where he found Bianca watching the CCTV. As he slowly opened the door rather sinisterly, she said aloud: "Gotcha."

It wasn't clear if she was saying it to the screen or him, but either way it confirmed she knew the truth. It's yet to be revealed whether Bianca knows everything or if Reiss will talk his way out of it.

But given there's been "fireworks" teased for the pair, it's likely she will vow to expose his lies - so is this the end of Reiss? Speaking to The Mirror last month, actor Jonny hinted at Reiss' exit.

He told us: "He is under a huge amount of pressure but he firmly believes Sonia won't go down for it, because she didn't do it. He has got the privilege of knowing that of course because he killed Debbie. He's got the blinkers on but he's holding out for the best. We'll have to see if there is a way out for him but it doesn't look good."
