Fans of Eastenders were left on the edge of their seat after a distressing new cliffhanger occurred which could threaten the life of DIVA’s favourite character Eve. Played by Heather Peace, viewers were left wondering what was going to happen after Nish Panesar discovered that his wife Suki had been having an affair with Eve.
After watching Eve and Suki kiss on CCTV, Nish planned to stop the pair from running away together by any means necessary. After intercepting Eve and Suki’s plans, audiences everywhere audibly gasped when Nish finally confronted Eve in a violent scuffle. After smashing Eve over the head with a bottle, the show left everyone wondering one thing: does Eve survive?
Heather Peace took to Instagram to express her delight at audiences finally getting to see some more #Sukeve action despite the potentially deadly consequences. “#Sukeve reveal day. The secret is out! Nish knows!” Heather wrote. “I love this story & the time & care that’s been taken by all the team @bbceastenders. Suki’s story has resonated with so many from what I’ve seen. The representation has meant a lot too through Eve presenting the way she does.”
“So many thanks to the writers and producers for playing this story out in real-time. It’s been a precious thing, certainly for me, having not seen a love story like this when I was growing up ❤️🌈 I feel blessed to have worked alongside so many beautiful actors too who also care about storytelling.”
Fans everywhere have begun theorising what happened to Eve, and are waiting in anticipation for the reveal.
