Eastenders has aired a dramatic return as Reiss Colwell's lies begin to unravel.
Earlier this month, killer Reiss proposed to Sonia, who was initially unsure if it was the right move for the couple, but she eventually accepted.
He proposed with his late wife Debbie's ring, however he later sold the ring to Eve to get some money to pay back Phil and Sharon.

Viewers of course know that Reiss is responsible for the death of Debbie, who he murdered as a way to stop her mounting care home bill from rising any further.
As for the ring, Reiss told Sonia he was mugged despite the fact that Suki is now wearing it following Eve's proposal.
Tonight (Tuesday, August 13), Sonia was sad that she couldn't show Amy her engagement ring having to tell her that she didn't need a ring from Reiss to show their love.
Later while out in the Square, Sonia approached Suki and Eve to congratulate them both on their engagement. But when Suki showed Sonia her 'pawn shop' ring, Sonia instantly recognised it as Debbie's.
Meanwhile Reiss was seen rejecting a call from Brenda, Debbie's mother, as he sat down to work outside the coffee shop.
Sonia soon found him and told him that Suki was walking around with Debbie's ring, believing that whoever mugged Reiss had taken it and pawned it. When Sonia suggested telling Suki she was wearing 'stolen goods' and even getting the police involved, Reiss finally came clean, telling Sonia he'd sold it to Eve himself.

Reiss explained that he needed the money to pay back Phil and he'd told Eve to say it was from a pawn shop.
Though annoyed, Sonia was understanding, telling Reiss that he shouldn't have to sell a family heirloom to pay Phil. Sonia then took Reiss to go and see Eve and Suki to tell them that they needed the ring back because it was so important.
Suki agreed to give back the ring but Reiss was unable to give Eve her money back, with Sonia promising she'd get the money once Debbie's life insurance came through.
When the couple got home they found out that a surprise party had been organised by Amy to celebrate their engagement. When Sonia told Amy she now had a ring, she and Martin told Reiss he had to 'propose properly'.
But after Reiss got down on one knee and put the ring on Sonia's finger, Debbie's parents Brenda and Hugh arrived to tell Reiss the funeral home was demanding payment.
Brenda also immediately noticed that Sonia was now wearing her late daughter's ring.
Will Reiss be able to keep up all of his lies for much longer?
