Shortly after newcomer Priya (Sophie Khan Levy) arrived in EastEnders, fans began to wonder if she was interested in Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry).
The theory turns out to be true in future episodes, as Priya kisses Nish – right in front of Suki (Balvinder Sopal) and Vinny (Shiv Jalota)!
Priya is the ex-girlfriend of Ravi (Aaron Thiara). She arrived in Walford with daughter Avani (Aaliyah James), who is also Ravi’s child.
While Ravi got to know Avani, Priya was in the cafe trying to sort a place for the two of them to stay.
Nish found Priya and sat down with her. They spoke, and Priya said that she wishes Ravi could be more like him – unaware Nish is also manipulating and abusing Suki.
Coming up, Vinny worries as Suki continues to show signs of being stressed, and panics further when he realises his mum never picked up her anti-despressants prescription from the doctor.
Meanwhile, Nish 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.
But when Priya passionately kisses him in the kitchen, Nish is horrified, especially when he realises Suki and Vinny are stood in the doorway!
In the aftermath, 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 (Heather Peace) happy with her new partner Tessa. She convinces Nish to give Priya another chance so they can keep their granddaughter close, knowing that having lots of family around will mean Suki isn’t alone with him.
When Vinny asks Suki why she was so forgiving, she reveals the depth of her unhappiness in her marriage and how much she hates Nish.
He’s devastated, but Vinny tells Suki that if she wants to be with Eve, he won’t stand in her way.
Is this finally the moment Suki leaves Nish so she can be happy?
