Bianca was then left in Walford with sister Sonia and her partner Reiss but she soon clashed with them. Before she left she made an emotional confession to Kat Slater about how she’d been battling depression for months. She drove off in her van, drunk, determined to make a new life elsewhere.
Viewers watched as Bianca warned Reiss that she was onto him having discovered his secret theft of comatose wife Debbie’s money to fund his and Sonia’s IVF treatment. But since she’s been gone, Reiss has got even worse - murdering his wife in harrowing scenes. Sonia has no idea she is expecting a baby with a killer - and could be in serious danger.
So if Patsy returns as Bianca, she could be the one to expose him - or become his next victim.
