EastEnders spoilers: Reiss suffers Phil’s wrath

A raging Phil storms to 25 Albert Square as the day of Reiss’ debt repayment arrives. He has not yet approached Phil nor revealed to Sonia that he owes money.

Reiss is forced to explain to a clueless Sonia why Phil is angry and the situation escalates before Sharon and Teddy jump in to diffuse the tension.

Sonia buys Reiss time by pleading with Sharon, but Teddy steps up and surprisingly offers to take the debt from Phil.

A shocked Reiss agrees and shakes his hand. Could there be an ulterior motive to Teddy’s actions? What does he want from Reiss?
