EastEnders fans are buzzing with theories that Nish Panesar might not have met his demise.
The soap’s rogue Nish (portrayed by Navin Chowdhry) was apparently written out this week, concluding his campaign of villainy. Admirers will remember Nish’s obsessive quest for retribution against Suki (Balvinder Sopal) and Eve (Heather Peace) upon learning about their secret romance.
Last month saw him breaking free from prison and since then, he’s been lying low, biding his time until Suki and Eve’s big day to unleash his ultimate payback. In the highly charged episode aired on January 1, several characters were left in peril.
Not long after Suki and Eve said their vows, drama unfolded as Eve keeled over poisoned by bubbly courtesy of Nish during their honeymoon festivities. It was a shock moment when Nish disclosed his foul play to Suki, shattering her world.

Nish taunted her: “She’s gone now, and there’s nothing you can do,” before mixing two deadly drinksfor her and himself. Amidst their altercation, Nish sought to tug at Suki’s heartstrings, insisting they were destined to be together against all odds, reports the Manchester Evening News.
A tense scene followed with Nish yanking Suki onto the balconyjust as Ravi (Aaron Thiara) made his appearance. What ensued was a confrontation where vile Nish met his end, pushed over the edge by Ravi, who inadvertently pulled Suki along in the commotion.
The next episode, broadcast on January 2, saw the arrival of paramedics, with Suki and Eve whisked off to hospital care. It was also disclosed that Nish bore the full impact of the fall, potentially sparing Suki from a worse fate.

At the hospital, fans were on the edge of their seats as Eve survived her ordeal and was soon at Suki’s side, pleading with her to wake up. In a heartfelt moment, Suki opened her eyes and the duo shed tears over their victory against Nish, believing he was gone for good.
However, the plot thickens as EastEnders viewers are sceptical about Nish’s fate. Debates have ignited over social media, with one viewer suggesting on an EastEnders fan page on Facebook: “He’s not dead.” This sparked a flurry of reactions and conspiracy theories among fans, with one guessing, “What if he hired a lookalike to go up there.”
Adding fuel to the speculative fire, another fan foresees a shocking plot twist, saying: “Or maybe a secret long-lost twin? ” That comment found supporters, with another echoing the sentiment: “I still don’t think it’s over so I can see this happening ngl.”
