Reiss exit confirmed?

Spoilers for next week have teased the moment killer Reiss Colwell is finally exposed, but it might not be over for the character. Amid his pregnant fiancée Sonia Fowler being in prison for his crime, he's yet to confess.

But new evidence that emerges next week could finally free Sonia and expose his guilt. There's big consequences ahead after a showdown with Bianca Jackson, but is this the end of Reiss?

Actor Johnny recently hinted at his character's fate, hinting more stuff ahead. He said: "He's under a huge amount of pressure so we'll have to see if there is a way out for him, but it doesn't look good." Is this a major hint that he's set to leave the soap very soon?

New Year

Amid fans speculating a horror train crash will hit Walford after stunt hints by a director, Zack actor James told us all about what he knows. He told us on what's ahead: "What’s exciting is I look forward to Day regardless of being on the show or not. We get two Christmas Days. Oh! And New Year… New Year! I'm not saying anything... I will not say.

"I I know who is involved. It is unbelievable... as in unbelievable! We've got Christmas, New Year and the 40th. It's a big, big month for our show and I am so proud of us, and proud of Chris [Clenshaw] for everything he’s done. He’s left us in a very good state."

Pictures from the location as well as hashtags teasing the plot have sent fans into meltdown on X, and now the clues have led to fans thinking they know the truth. TV director and EastEnders favourite Christopher McGill has been giving glimpses to what the team have filmed so far, calling it a "monster of a block".

Viewers are now convinced it's all train orientated and that the railway track that runs over the Square could be involved. Might a train plummet from the bridge onto the market, given one of the images showed the inside of the launderette which happens to be right by this very bridge?

Huge Zack storyline

Zack actor James also told us about a huge new storyline starting around now, that would run into 2025. He told us: "There is something really exciting coming up next year that nobody really knows about yet. It keeps me going into work every day going…. I'm buzzing for it to start. It is just starting around now."

It isn't yet clear what this will involve but it is thought to be separate to the New Year plot. Some fans have wondered if it will be linked to Tommy Moon, after he recently took the troubled teen in.

Ravi and Priya to reunite?

Priya actress Sophie addressed whether a reunion could be on the cards for former lovers Ravi Gulati and her character Priya. The pair had a romance years ago when Ravi was her drug dealer, with her soon falling pregnant.

Priya suddenly left one day and left Ravi to raise their son Nugget. What Ravi didn't find out until this year was that she was threatened to leave by his father. Priya also found out she was pregnant after fleeing, with Ravi only finding out about his secret daughter Avani when she headed to Walford.

Now there's been hints of a reunion for the pair, but will they get together? Sophie told us: "I'm a hopeless romantic but they have got two of the biggest egos I have ever seen, so who knows"

New fire twist?

There were recent reports of a fire spreading through Walford and leaving lives on the line. But fans were left confused when one of the Panesar businesses went up in flames just a week ago, but it wasn't all that dramatic.

So is there another fire on the way? Vinny actor Shiv told us: "There is gonna be a lot of fire," in response to the recent reports. He went on: "I can't say too much. There's gonna be [twists and turns ahead]. Nish Panesar is such a massive villain, and Navin Chowdhry plays him so well. Anything can happen at the moment. The soap is so good right now that it's all unpredictable. I don't know what will happen next but there is a lot more to come [before Nish leaves]."
