Sonia and Reiss had formed an instant connection when they first met at Dot Cotton’s funeral on EastEnders. However, the couple’s connection is constantly being tested on the BBC One soap. First, they took a massive hit when Sonia found out that Reiss was still married to his first wife. Although eventually, Reiss was able to convince her of his love and stopped her from breaking up with him.
But now, with the recent turn of events, the couple is facing yet another roadblock on EastEnders. In one of the previous episodes, Sonia realised that she could be pregnant after she missed her period. However, at the same time, Reiss’ behaviour turned really odd towards her. To the point that Sonia came to the conclusion that even if he wanted kids in the future, he didn’t want then with her. Later on, Whitney and Sonia found out that Reiss had been trying to spy on her phone.
When Sonia confronted Reiss, she learned that he was functioning from the assumption that she cheated on him on EastEnders. This furthered the crack in their already suffering relationship. Reiss found the pregnancy test in Sonia’s bag and thought that she was pregnant. However, Reiss being infertile, assumed that she must have cheated in order to be pregnant. Thus, he lashed out at her without even asking her if the test was positive or not. Severely hurt by the accusation, Sonia told him that she was, after all, not pregnant and walked away.
EastEnders: Reiss’ Proposal Takes Sonia By Surprise
Racked with guilt over his irrational outburst, Reiss reached out to Sonia for a reconciliation on EastEnders. Sonia asked him why he even had his sperm tested if he didn’t want children in the first place. Reiss then admitted that he actually does want kids. But said otherwise because it was easier than admitting he couldn’t father any. He further shocked Sonia by proposing that he could still try to be a father using IVF, and asked her if she would like to try with him.
This proposal totally took Sonia off-guard on EastEnders. After all, it was only yesterday that he accused her of cheating. Moreover, she reminded him that he was still married to his wife, Debbie. Reiss then assured her that considering Debbie’s predicament, she would want him to be happy. And having children with Sonia would do that! He then left the ball in her court and excused himself. Sonia later confided in Whitney that she is unsure of what do do. Do you think it would be a good idea for Sonia to move so fast with Reiss? Tell us in the comments.
