‘This is pure evil!’ rage EastEnders fans after first look at Nish Panesar’s cafe seized from Kathy Beale
Viewers took issue with an iconic part of the cafe no longer being there.
EASTENDERS viewers have branded the first look at Nish Panesar’s cafe ‘pure evil’ after he seized it from Kathy Beale.
The soap villain bought the cafe from Kathy late last year after the business burnt down following her husband Rocky’s failed attempt at an insurance scam.
Nish originally planned to turn the cafe site into flats but changed his mind, and builders got to work on repairing the building at the start of the New Year.
Nish currently has no idea that Keanu Taylor’s body is buried under the floor of his newly refurbished cafe, after the hunk was killed on Christmas Day.
His death was subsequently covered up by The Six – which includes Nish’s now-estranged wife Suki, and the women have been panicking as they’ve watched the repair work being carried out on the building.
Now the first look pictures at the new cafe have been released but EastEnders fans are horrified to see a big change.
When Kathy owned the business, her name was in a neon light on the window near the door.
But with a new owner comes a new neon sign, with Nish’s name now hanging in the window on the other side of the door.
The striped paintwork on the lower half of the shop front has been taken away and replaced by pale blue paint all over, adding to the many blue properties and rooms on the soap.
After seeing the pictures, one viewer shared a close up of the ‘Nish’s’ neon sign and wrote: “No.”
Another added: “That neon sign is just a slap in the face.”
A third tweeted: “I need someone to grab that sign and smash it to pieces.”
Meanwhile a fourth raged: “this is pure evil”.
