EastEnders enthusiasts are worried about the health of Bianca Jackson (portrayed by Patsy Palmer) after she has been held captive for weeks by Reiss Colwell (Jonny Freeman).
Reiss, a murderous accountant, has kept her locked up since November when she discovered evidence linking him to the murder of his comatose wife Debbie in a care home last year. His reign of terror began when he smothered Debbie to alleviate his financial troubles, having emptied her bank account to pay for Sonia Fowler’s (Natalie Cassidy) IVF treatment.
Sonia, who is pregnant, was arrested for Debbie’s murder and has been detained on remand as her court trial approaches. Viewers saw Reiss visit Sonia in prison before her court appearance on Monday (January 13), where she expressed her concern over not hearing from her sister Bianca since her plea hearing.

She told her fiancé that she hoped Bianca would be in court to support her, but was disappointed when neither Bianca nor Reiss showed up as she took the stand.
Reiss was later seen visiting Bianca in the storage unit where she has been living since November. Bianca appeared unkempt, chained to a wall with only old video tapes for company, reports the Manchester Evening News.
On Wednesday (January 15), Reiss treated Bianca to pie and mash, and she surprisingly invited him to join her for dinner after surviving on noodles and biscuits, which he accepted.
Before Reiss left the lock-up, Bianca feigned excruciating stomach pains and desperately begged him to take her to the hospital, but her pleas fell on deaf ears.

Meanwhile, EastEnders aficionados have been quick to raise concerns about Bianca’s impending health woes due to her lack of movement, exposure to sunlight, and poor diet, speculating that she might be facing severe peril.
On social media platform X, one sharply observant fan pointed out: “#EastEnders more important than Bianca’s toilet arrangements are muscle wasting and vitamin deficiencies she will have after 3 months tied up in a warehouse being fed biscuits by Reiss. Although I expect the scriptwriters will have Bianca doing the Marathon upon her escape.”
Another chimed in with worry: “Bianca’s not seen any natural sunlight for like 2 months now. She’d be a lot more ****** than the way she was looking there! #EastEnders.”
An additional comment from a concerned viewer said: “Wouldn’t Bianca be seriously ill after 3m in a lock up? #EastEnders”. Meanwhile, another simply asked: “Is Bianca really sick ? #EastEnders”.
EastEnders airs Monday – Thursday at 7:30pm on BBC One and iPlayer
