EastEnders aired the truth about newcomer Reiss Colwell on the BBC soap on Tuesday night, as fans learned what he had been hiding for months.
The character joined as a love interest for Sonia Fowler in December last year, and was revealed to be the great-nephew of Dot Branning.
Dot, played by soap legend June Brown, died on the show in 2022 with loved ones and past characters uniting for her funeral.
