EastEnders’ Natalie Cassidy and fiancee Marc Humphrey look merry at soap star’s leaving party
EASTENDERS star Natalie Cassidy joined co-star Jonny Freeman for his leaving party after filming the star’s exit scenes.
Jonny, who plays creepy accountant Reiss Colwell murdered his comatose wife Debbie and then let his pregnant fiancee Sonia go to prison awaiting trial for the crime.
However, her sister Bianca has been onto Reiss for a while and found evidence that forced the killer into confessing.
But things took a dark turn when she went with him to a secret lock-up where he said he “had the pillow” he killed Debbie with.
Instead, Reiss has been keeping Bianca captive for the past two month to keep her quiet.
But it looks like things are set to come crashing down for Reiss as he prepares for his departure from Walford.
Some of the EastEnders cast were spotted at Jonny’s leaving bash last night at The Wellington Pub in Borehamwood close to TV Studios.
Cast members including Charlie Suff, who plays Johnny Carter on the BBC Soap and Avani Nandra-Hart actress Aaliyah James headed to the pub around 6pm.
Sonia Fowler actress Natalie Cassidy was also present as she partied the night away with fiancee Marc Humphrey.
The pair were seen making their way towards Marc’s car at around 1am.
Natalie kept warm with a cream winter coat, while Marc went for a dark jacket.
Soap favourite Natalie told fans on her latest podcast episode Life With Nat that she was not taking part in Dry January.
She said: “I ignore it, a lot of people have said ‘are you doing Dry Jan?’, it could be about a lot of things, not just alcohol or ‘that diet’.
“I think January is the worst month to possibly stop anything.”
In recent episodes, Bianca has been hatching a plan to escape but has been unsuccessful so far.
Bianca faked an illness hoping Reiss would take her to hospital.
But after trying to escape, he turned on her and said he would not be returning for next next few days, leaving her without any food.
Arriving at storage unit back in November, Bianca was horrified to find a sound-proofed room full of Debbie’s clothing and belongings.
As she demanded the pillow, Reiss locked the door and told her: “There is no pillow. I’m sorry Bianca.”
Then brandishing chains and a blanket, he ran at her as she tried to fight him off.
