The executor of a will arrived at Reiss' house along with Debbie's parents Hugh (Michael Bertenshaw) and Brenda (Nichola McAuliffe).

She revealed that: "Debbie decided that her entire estate would be divided by a number of charities."

And requested to leave full control to her mother and father as they were named the "absolute beneficiaries."

This means any money that Debbie has goes to them, leaving Reiss stunned.

Reiss chimed in: "I don't understand. Debbie and I agreed that we'd leave everything to each other."

The executor of a will said: "She requested to amend her will one week prior to her stroke."

Reiss asked: "Why would she do that?"

The bad news kept on coming for Reiss after he asked if he could keep the rocking chair he built for for Debbie in the nursery for his future child.

But Debbie had requested it would be given to a children's hospital.

In an unexpected twist, the executor of a will revealed that Debbie did leave one thing for Reiss.

It was an antique's doll house, and Debbie left a note saying: "I hate that dusty old thing. It gives me the creeps."

Reiss was left stunned at Debbie's final wishes as he commented: "This doesn't make any sense."

Whereas her parents weren't surprised at all, as Brenda remarked: "Doesn't it? If it were up to me, you would be left with nothing."

Meanwhile, Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer) was listening to the will reading behind the door and was shocked by what she heard.

Most complained about soap storylines

Over the years, all three of the main soaps have featured plots that have had even die-hard fans reaching for their phones and laptops so they can get in touch with Ofcom and complain. Here are just some of the most scandalous...

EastEnders baby theft: 13,400 Ofcom complaints - Back in 2011, EastEnders was flooded with complaints when Ronnie Branning (RIP) swapped her baby for the dead son of Kat Moon. The storyline drew the most number of objections in the soap’s long history and saw it roundly criticised by campaigners - with 13,400 flying in over the course of the storyline. Some viewers called it “distressing” and “horrific” but Ofcom ruled the scenes were not "unduly disturbing”.

Emmerdale dog-napping: 550 Ofcom complaints - Back in 2016, Ross Barton and Charity Dingle came up with a plan to steal a dog and hold it ransom - but viewers didn’t like it one bit. The nation’s pet owners rose up, insisting the storyline would encourage copycats (not to mention copydogs). Complaints over two episodes totalled a staggering 550 and soap writers quickly learnt you don’t mess with animal-lovers.

Coronation Street double murder: 546 Ofcom complaints - Marginally less people complained about a gruesome double murder than objected to a dog-napping plot when Pat Phelan was at the centre of a spate of killings. First he forced Andy Carver to shoot dead Vinny Ashford - and then Pat killed Andy. All the bloodshed back in 2017 proved to be too much for some viewers, who lodged complaints in vast numbers about the “violent scenes”.

She arrived back onto Albert Square after her sister Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) was arrested for Debbie's murder.

She sees Reiss and the other residents are protesting for Sonia's innocence.

But, she is suspicious of Reiss and doesn't understand why others aren't questioning him or his innocence.

As Debbie's will proves she didn't really love her husband Reiss, will Bianca get closer to the truth about him murdering his ex wife?

Upcoming scenes on the BBC soap will see Bianca try and get a confession out of Reiss by getting him drunk.
