In upcoming episodes of EastEnders, Sonia Fowler and Reiss Colwell (Natalie Cassidy and Jonny Freeman) will embark on their next phase of IVF, which could potentially end in their breakup.
Reiss disclosed earlier this year that he was unable to conceive naturally, which led the couple to make the difficult decision to try for a child through IVF.
All of this occurred in the midst of a misunderstanding where Sonia was concerned that she might be pregnant and Reiss accused her of sleeping with someone else because he couldn’t have children.
Fortunately, the two moved past the misunderstanding, and Sonia soon agreed to use IVF to try for a child with Reiss.
Reiss reassured Sonia that everything would be fine and that the money would come from his wife Debbie’s account, but he neglected to disclose that Debbie was comatose. Sonia was worried about how much the entire process would cost.
The couple will go to the hospital in later scenes for their first IVF cycle, and almost immediately afterward, the problems start.
Reiss’s domineering demeanor quickly grows tiresome to Sonia, who only gets more irritated when he tries to give her medicine.
Soon, the two get into a heated argument, and as things spiral out of control, Sonia says she’s not sure if this will work.
Heartbroken, Reiss goes to the Vic, where his issues become the talk of the town.
Reiss stops for a drink with Patrick and Yolande Trueman (Rudolph Walker and Angela Wynter), Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), George Knight (Colin Salmon), and Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe). Soon, they are talking about IVF and fertility.
Will he conclude that they would be better off parting ways after the talk, or will it help him get his relationship with Sonia back on track?
