EastEnders’ Bianca to get caught out after secret Reiss decision

EastEnders spoilers follow.

EastEnders’ Bianca Jackson is set to get caught out next week over her secret podcast scandal.

Bianca is still struggling from her dramatic kidnap ordeal, after Reiss held her captive in a lock-up for several months to stop her revealing that he killed his wife Debbie.

As she attempts to move on with her life following Reiss’s death in The Vic explosion, this week she met new friend Charlotte – but she soon found out that her mate is a journalist.

Charlotte asked Bianca to be interviewed about Reiss as part of her true crime podcast, and while she was reluctant, she was interested in the generous fee attached to her appearance.

When Bianca spoke to Sonia about the interview, her sister was horrified by the idea. However, Bianca went behind Sonia’s back and agreed to do Charlotte’s podcast.

Next week, Bianca has serious doubts about her decision and is scared that the interview will tip Sonia over the edge – as she is already vulnerable on the day of Martin’s funeral.

She tries to make things right and begs Charlotte not to release the podcast episode about Reiss, but her heart drops when she realises that it is already online.

Her worst nightmare soon comes true though, when Freddie shows her that there are clips of her appearance on the podcast surfacing on social media already.

Above all, Bianca is scared about how Sonia will react to her revealing interview. Kat and Freddie team up to try and convince her to come clean to her sister.

In Monday’s episode, Walford comes together to say an emotional farewell to Martin, with Stacey reluctant to attend the funeral on her return to the Square.

But the aftermath of the funeral is set to be just as dramatic, with a new mystery and another exit ahead…
