EASTENDERS viewers demand guest star Jonny Freeman, who plays Dot’s great-nephew Reiss Colwell, become a regular character.
Reiss arrived on Albert Square for Dot Branning’s funeral – but how long will he be staying?
Fans were loving the new cast addition
In Thursday’s episode of the BBC soap, Reiss and Sonia share a night of passion together.
As things heat up between the pair, viewers request for producers to make Reiss a permanent resident.
Taking to Twitter, one said: “Need Reiss to stay #EastEnders.”
A second agreed: “Reece needs to be a regular character #EastEnders”.
“Reece seems like a perfect fit to #EastEnders”, a third added.
Jonny previously stared in BBC show Silent Witness, Channel 4’s Top Boy and a return to his regular role as Team Leader Frank London in CBBC’s MI High.
The actor told the Radio Times that he found the experience on EastEnders “surreal”.
He said: “In terms of my first day – it’s not filmed in sequence – and in my very first scene I met Richard the director and Natalie.
“I found myself by Albert Square, standing over a car with the Queen Vic behind Sonia from EastEnders.
“So I thought it was pretty surreal. I mean, that’s pretty much the weirdest introduction to any job anyone could ever have.
“The writers, everyone, is so passionate that you feel inspired every moment you’re there. So it’s a privilege.
“And to join [at] this sort of time is all the luckier because I think it was a time when the cast were reflecting on June.”
