Fans will remember that Reiss originally kept his wife Debbie a secret from Sonia Fowler, eventually revealing that she was comatose in a care home.
However, his dark side soon emerged when he began stealing from his wife to fund IVF treatments with Sonia.
It was later revealed that Reiss had taken matters into his own hands, murdering Debbie while she was still in a coma.
In a shocking twist, he then framed Sonia for the crime, with his pregnant partner wrongfully put in prison.
As if that wasn’t enough, Reiss went on to kidnap Bianca Jackson after she uncovered the truth, leading to the catastrophic series of events that culminated in his own downfall.
During the high-stakes anniversary episode, Reiss caused a devastating explosion at the Queen Vic after crashing into the iconic pub.
In the aftermath, he tried to keep Sonia, Bianca, and Lauren Branning trapped inside, demanding their help as Sonia went into labour.
But just as he appeared to have the upper hand, Bianca pushed him away and snapped: “Drop dead.”
Reiss dodged a falling pile of rubble, laughing as he declared: “Well, that was close.”
Seconds later, a bathtub from the floor above came crashing down, crushing him instantly and bringing his reign of terror to an end.
In recent episodes, Bianca has been struggling to adjust to life following the Queen Vic fire as well as her time held captive by Reiss.
But eagle eyed fans have spotted a huge blunder that won’t be doing Bianca or Sonia any good!
Asking on social media Reddit one fan wrote: “Why’s Sonia still got a picture of her and Reiss up??”
Alongside the comment was an image that showed a framed photograph of Reiss and Sonia still centre place in Sonia’s house.

“This cannot be helping poor Bianca” replied one fan.
Another added: “And why hasn’t Bianca smashed it to pieces yet?”
“Clearly a blunder” said a third.
“Omg I’m surprised Bianca hasn’t gotten rid of it! I bet they haven’t even noticed it’s still there.
“You get so used to your surroundings” said another soap fan.
While another concluded: “Why hasn’t Sonia redecorated Dot’s house is the real question.
“That kitchen especially! And there’s a school photo of Abi Branning & all sorts in that living room!”
