This article contains spoilers from Tuesday’s episode of EastEnders, which is already available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
Killer Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) plotted to put one Walford resident in hospital as his villainous ways resurfaced in Tuesday’s EastEnders.
The dying patriarch had tricked his family into believing he had turned over a new leaf after kidnapping son Vinny Panesar (Shiv Jalota) before trying to kill him last month.
However, his feud with ex-wife Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) bubbled to the surface again in the latest episode of the BBC soap, as she celebrated her engagement to Eve Unwin (Heather Peace).
Nish had tried to manipulate Suki by arranging for their grandson Tye to visit Walford, knowing that the child’s mother Habiba Ahmed (Rukku Nahar) had previously blocked Suki from seeing him as she was indirectly responsible for the death of Tye’s father and Suki’s son Jags (Amar Adatia).
Nish’s gesture made his grandchildren Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James) and Nugget Gualti (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury) pressure Suki and Eve into letting him join their engagement party at The Albert, to which they eventually agreed.
That later proved to be a disastrous mistake, when unbeknown to them, he overheard the couple toasting his impending demise from his terminal lung condition.
He was then seen making an ominous phone call as he watched a loved-up Suki and Eve canoodling on the Albert balcony.
Speaking to a mystery figure, he ordered an attack, saying: ‘Not too much, just rough her up a bit – enough to put her in hospital for a decent stretch.’
But is it Eve or Suki that finds themself in danger?
EastEnders continues on Wednesday at 7.30pm on BBC One and from 6am on iPlayer.
