BBC EastEnders’ Suki Panesar trailer details revealed amid Christmas 2023 twist

EastEnders is set to release Suki Panesar’s Christmas 2023 trailer very soon with new details surrounding her festive storyline revealed.

The hit BBC One soap is gearing up for a Christmas whodunnit, where Denise (Diane Parish), Kathy (Gillian Taylforth), Linda (Kellie Bright), Sharon (Letitia Dean), Stacey (Lacey Turner) and Suki (Balvinder Sopal) are faced with a dead body, whose identity is yet to be revealed.

Each of the six women have their own trailers in the lead up to the big Christmas scenes and fans have now seen five out of six of them. The latest, with Kathy as the focus, was debuted earlier this week after she was arrested for the fire. In the “everything changes” trailer for Kathy, the matriarch of the Beale family is seen cutting roses before slamming the cleaver into the board and chopping the heads off the pink roses. Could this be a link to Cindy Beale as she was known as Rose Knight – the wife of George Knight – whilst in witness protection?

Since the spoiler clip, viewers have been left eagerly awaiting Suki’s trailer as she is the last person of the six to have a teaser clip ahead of the festive episodes. And now the wait is over as soap expert, Sharon Marshall, teased details on Wednesday’s This Morning.

Sharon said: “Don’t forget we’ve got the six at Christmas, we’ve got six women, we know one of them is going to kill someone at Christmas, we’ve had five trailers so far with a motive and I can tell you, the sixth is coming soon and it’s Suki’s. Why does she want to kill someone? I can tell you that affair she was having [Eve], things are going to be coming out!”

It comes as EastEnders is set to air a shock kiss between two characters next week on the hit soap after viewers had predicted an affair twist. In upcoming scenes, Vinny Panesar worries as mum Suki shows the signs of stress and exhaustion as Priya Nandra-Hart and Ravi Gulati row at No.41. Things go from bad to worse when he discovers she never picked up her prescription for anti-depressants from the doctor.

Later, Nish Panesar steps in to resolve a problem with Avani’s passport and grateful Priya tells her daughter she will make sure he loves having them around. However, when Priya passionately kisses him, Nish is horrified – especially when he realises Suki and Vinny are stood in the doorway.

Things take an explosive turn when Nish is appalled when Suki accuses him of enjoying the kiss and tells Priya to pack her bags. Later, at the Minute Mart, Suki is cut deep to see Eve happy with her new lady, Tessa, and she convinces Nish to give Priya another chance so they can keep their granddaughter close. Suki does this so she can have lots of family around and doesn’t have to be alone with him.

Later, a confused Vinny privately questions Suki on why she is being so forgiving to which she laments her unhappy marriage and how much she hates Nish. Realising how unhappy his mother is, a devastated Vinny tells Suki that if she wants to be with Eve, he won’t stand in her way.

After getting her son’s approval, Suki asks Eve if they can talk and tells her that Vinny has given his blessing to them being together. However, Eve admits she doesn’t want to go back to a closeted relationship now she’s got Tessa. Despite the heartbreak, Suki later tells Vinny she’s going to leave Nish and start a new life.
