EastEnders spoilers: The great escape for Suki as she leaves Nish for a new life with Eve but she’s in danger
Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) has been trapped in a loveless, abusive marriage with husband Nish (Navin Chowdhry) in EastEnders, but she may finally manage to escape in upcoming scenes.
While Nish was in prison for murder, Suki fell in love with soulmate Eve Unwin (Heather Peace), but was ultimately forced to choose her family over her own happiness when son Vinny (Shiv Jalota) discovered their affair.
In upcoming scenes, Vinny will grow concerned for his mother, who is no longer able to able to hide the stress, exhaustion and all round unhappiness she has been feeling.
Her stress is only worsened by Priya and Ravi (Sophie Khan Levy and Aaron Thiara) arguing, and Vinny is left seriously worrying about her.
Later, he learns that Suki never picked up her prescription for anti-depressants that the doctor prescribed earlier in the year.
The drama continues at No.41, when Priya passionately kisses Nish in a bid to make sure he loves having her around, only for her plan to backfire when he is left disgusted, as Suki and Vinny watch on in horror.
Furious Suki accuses Nish of enjoying the kiss, and immediately demands that Priya packs her bags and leaves.
However, when she spots Eve out and about with her new lover, Tessa, she realises that she’d rather have Priya and Avani (Aaliyah James) around to distract Nish, knowing that being surrounded by family will leave less chance for her to have to be alone with him.
Vinny is suspicious of Suki’s sudden forgiveness and is quick to question her, and as soon as she starts to spill she finds she can’t stop.
Suki finally lets months of unhappiness come pouring out as she lets rip about how unhappy she has been while trapped in her marriage and how much she truly loathes Nish.
Devastated at being the one to have forced her into such a terrible situation, Vinny finally relents and tells her that if she wants to be with Eve, he won’t stand in her way.
When Nish interferes in Minute Mart business, Suki grows enraged and an argument ensues, observed from afar by Eve.
She is quick to check on Suki, who asks if they can talk, before revealing Vinny’s promise to let them be together.
Eve is torn, and makes it clear that she doesn’t want to be in a closeted relationship now that she’s got Tessa.
Determined to win back her woman, Suki informs Vinny that she’s finally going to leave Nish and start a new life.
Putting the final touches of her plan in place, Suki writes Nish a letter, detailing her decision to leave him.
Vinny offers his support by trying to pull together some cash to tide her over, and as he does so, Suki makes a final plea to Eve.
When Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) urges her to look to the future with Tessa and not the past with Suki, Eve remains torn. What will she choose?
And with Nish having already proven to be violent, how will he react to Suki’s departure. Will she manage to get away?
