Dot Branning\u2019s (June Brown) great-nephew<\/a> has become a Walford regular thanks to his budding romance with Sonia Fowler. Reiss and the nurse played by Natalie Cassidy will be involved in Rocky Cotton\u2019s (Brian Conley) secret drama when it is revealed that he is still married unbeknownst to his fianc\u00e9 Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth).<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think they advise Rocky to not say anything to Kathy or to maintain the deceit but I think the plan is try and get the divorce completed beforehand so that when he does eventually reveal the truth, his situation is a lot less complicated,\u201d Freeman told press including RadioTimes.com<\/a>.<\/p> While Sonia is suspicious of Rocky\u2019s past, it seems that Reiss will do anything he can to help Rocky in upcoming scenes, attempting to track down his ex Jo, to be played by Vicki Michelle<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cHe essentially points out that people make mistakes, although this is a big one, and he stands up for Rocky in this situation,\u201d the actor said.<\/p>\n \u201cOf course, he doesn\u2019t really know him all that well but he\u2019s observed Rocky and Kathy and, out of all the people on the Square, Rocky has been slightly more welcoming to Reiss.\u201d<\/p>\n But Reiss isn\u2019t exactly a sleuth, and finding Jo is a lot harder than he anticipated. When Freddie Mitchell (Bobby Brazier) offers to help, he has to make a decision.<\/p>\n \u201cHe struggles at first and spends a lot of time in the caf\u00e9 and elsewhere on the internet. I think social media perhaps isn\u2019t Reiss\u2019 strong point,\u201d Freeman explained.<\/p>\n \u201cFreddie notices he\u2019s struggling so Reiss reluctantly allows him to help. Reiss doesn\u2019t want more people to know about Rocky\u2019s situation than needs be, certainly someone who is close to Kathy.<\/p>\n \u201cObviously everyone knows everyone on the Square but Reiss makes a judgement call as he realises he won\u2019t be able to find Jo on his own, so the younger and social media adept Freddie steps in.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Visit our dedicated EastEnders<\/a> page for all the latest news, interviews and spoilers. <\/strong>If yo<\/strong>u\u2019re looking for more to watch, check out our TV Guide<\/a> or Streaming Guide<\/a> or visit our Soaps<\/a> hub.<\/strong><\/p>\n Try Radio Times magazine today and get 12 issues for only \u00a31 with delivery to your home \u2013 <\/strong>subscribe now<\/strong><\/a>.
