Viewers know Bianca has been onto him for weeks and today she found evidence that forced Reiss into confessing.

Rushing home Reiss was confronted by Bianca who had a copy of the CCTV tape that showed him at the care home.

Bianca demanded answers but Reiss would only repeat: “I didn’t kill Debbie.”

Losing her mind, Bianca raged at Reiss and finally broke him.

“I did kill Debbie,” he said after her onslaught.

“You little saddo,” she screamed. “I’m calling the police and my little sister’s going to be out by the morning.”

But as she went to get her phone and call 999, Reiss grabbed the computer and the USB drive and smashed it with the kitchen table.

Bianca insisted she would phone the police anyway but he told her that no-one would believe her.

What Coronation Street got wrong with their 'ridiculous' Bethany storyline

Insisting that pregnant Sonia would survive in prison, Reiss tried to convince Bianca just to wait - and she somehow didn’t call the police.

Instead she listened to his sob story about finding Debbie after her stroke, him playing on her emotions about finding her own brother Billy dead.

EastEnders’ Reiss’ evil side is revealed as he takes shocking action

And she fell for his manipulations.

He convinced her he had the pillow that he used to kill Debbie in a lock-up nearby and they went to it together.

But before they left Bianca secretly armed herself with one of Dot’s candlesticks before getting into her Taco truck and driving off - watched by Martin from across the Square.

Arriving at the lock-up, Bianca was horrified to find a sound-proofed room full of Debbie’s clothing and belongings.

And as she demanded the pillow, Reiss locked the door and told her: “There is no pillow. I’m sorry Bianca.”

Darkest soap storylines

Over the years the likes of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street have all tried to try outdo each other with their outlandish plots in a bid to keep us tuning in each week. But here are some of the darkest that had fans in shock...

  • EastEnders: Tony grooming Whitney (2008-2009) - Tony King first appeared in Albert Square in 2008 as the boyfriend of Bianca, played by Patsy Palmer. But it was quickly revealed he was a paedophile who had been grooming vulnerable Whitney, Bianca’s adopted stepdaughter from a previous relationship, since she was 12. The shocking storyline attracted more than 200 complaints within a week of it beginning. Whitney waited until her 16th birthday to reveal the truth to a horrified Bianca, who called the police.
  • Emmerdale: Holly's drug addiction and shock death (2010-2016) - In 2010, Holly Barton (played by Sophie Powles) became Emmerdale's first teenage drug addict. The shocking storyline saw her taking cocaine on a night out before developing a deadly heroin habit. Parents John and Moira desperately tried to help get their daughter clean but when Holly returned in 2016, following a four-year absence, she quickly relapsed. Fans were left stunned and heartbroken when distraught Moira found Holly dead in her bed from a heroin overdose.
  • Hollyoaks: Luke's rape (2000) - Actor Gary Lucy was just 17 when he took on this groundbreaking storyline, which saw his character Luke Morgan become soap’s first male rape victim. Luke had endured a long-running bullying campaign by football rival Mark Gibbs - who raped him after Luke stood up to him. Luke was left suicidal following the brutal attack, before opening up to his brother Adam. Gibbs was sentenced to eight years in prison. Gary won the Best Actor gong at the British Soap Awards in 2000 for his performance.
  • Coronation Street: Evil Richard Hillman (2001-2003) - Just a mere mention of ‘Richard Hillman’ is enough to send a shiver down the spines of soap fans. He is often ranked one of the most evil soap villains and it’s not hard to see why. The smooth-talking financial adviser bashed his ex-wife Patricia over the head with a shovel. In a bid to keep his mother-in-law Audrey quiet, he set fire to her house. And when Maxine caught him trying to murder Emily Bishop, he took a crowbar to her head. He made his exit from the cobbles in 2003 when he drove Gail Platt, played by Helen Worth, and her family into the canal. They survived, but he didn’t.

    • Then brandishing chains and a blanket, he ran at her as she tried to fight him off with the candlestick.
