Jonny Freeman arrived in the soap as part of Dot's funeral storyline and at the time he teased the possibility of a romance between Reiss and Sonia.
"He's introduced to the Square, there's a spark with Sonia. I wouldn't say he's a human dynamo but he's got a good heart," the actor told Digital Spy.
"What's to come is to see whether he can navigate his way through social interactions to come out a winner or all alone."
These new scenes between Sonia and Reiss will air next week on the soap.
EastEnders airs on Mondays - Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer.
