BBC EastEnders’ Ravi distracts fans as they point out Eve ‘mistake’ amid exit twist

EastEnders fans were left distracted on Thursday’s explosive episode as one character appeared to leave the BBC One soap in a devastating twist.

Only recently, Nish Panesar discovered wife Suki Panesar’s secret relationship with Eve Unwin and their plan to start a new life away from Walford. In a heated exchange, Nish fumed at Eve for “seducing” Suki and taking her away from him, before Eve told him that Suki had wanted their relationship too and they had been planning to run away together that evening.

After seeing red, Nish hit Eve with a bottle and left her for dead on the floor of Walford East, before he urged his son Ravi to finish the job and kill her off for good. In Thursday’s episode, Nish coerced Ravi into helping dispose of Eve’s body despite Ravi insisting he didn’t want to be involved.

During the episode, after being manipulated, Ravi took Eve to the woods, where she had regained consciousness in the boot of the car. Eve was able to push Ravi away as she ran off into the woods in tense run-and-chase scenes, where Ravi kept shouting her name.

In one nail-biting moment, Eve hid behind a tree with Ravi just inches away as she attempted to attack him with a tree branch. However, Ravi was able to fight her off and as he was about to kill her, Eve managed to plead with him as they both agreed to come up with a plan. It was decided that Eve would disappear so Nish would believe Ravi had killed her and the latter threatened Eve if she were to come back or attempt to make contact with anyone, she would be dead, as well as her loved ones. Eve then ran off into the woods, appearing to show an exit from the BBC One soap.

However, soap watchers were left distracted during the chase scenes as they questioned why Ravi would keep shouting Eve’s name as obviously she wouldn’t answer as it would give her whereabouts away. Taking to Twitter, now X, one person said: “Why is Ravi shouting for Eve… “Come back here so I can kill you” #EastEnders.”

A different account put: “Why is Ravi calling Eve as if she’ll answer.. is he mad!? #Eastenders”, another viewer wrote: “What’s the point of Ravi shouting ‘Eve’ – as if she’s gonna reply #eastenders” while a different soap watcher added: “Ravi @AaronThiara calling out for Eve @heatherpeace Did he really expect her to say “I’m over here, Ravi. Catch me if you can?” Still impressed at the speed Eve ran off! #EastEnders.”

During the tense woods scenes, Nish has Eve’s phone as he sent a message to Suki, who was waiting at the station, impersonating Eve and saying she can’t go through with the plan to escape and she will never see her again. The text left heartbroken Suki with no choice but to head back home, where Nish started showing even more worrying and controlling behaviour.
