EastEnders fans are convinced that Suki and Eve Panesar-Unwin's marriage is heading for trouble, predicting a major affair twist involving Eve and Suki's daughter, Ash.
The BBC soap's couple, played by Balvinder Sopal and Heather Peace, have been fostering young Ria and are keen to adopt her. In Tuesday's episode (November 10), Eve bonded with her stepdaughter Ash Panesar (Sakira Vel) over drinks at The Vic following the news of Ash's divorce, encouraging her to play "break up bingo" as they downed shots together.
When Suki entered the pub, landlord Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) joked that Eve was "leading her daughter astray", as Suki dismissed Ash's news that her divorce had been granted.
Adoption meeting goes wrong
During Wednesday's episode, Suki and Eve prepared to meet Ria's biological mum, Harleen (Taniya Jamil), at Knight Fusion, ahead of their adoption bid. The meeting began awkwardly and went from bad to worse when Harleen witnessed Suki and Ash in the middle of a huge argument.
Eve was left heartbroken as Harleen stormed out of the restaurant, putting their chances of adoption at risk.
Fans spot chemistry
As Eve tries to support Ash, who recently returned from New Zealand, fans are predicting an affair between the two after 'spotting' chemistry. In 2021, Eve arrived in Walford and developed feelings for Ash, but never told her before Ash left the Square for New Zealand in 2022.
Taking to X, one EastEnders viewer wrote: "Something is deffo gonna happen between Ash and Eve, but I think it'll definitely be Ash that instigates it! #eastenders."
A second predicted: "Eve and Ash going to do the dirty on Suki #eastenders", while a third chimed in: "Ash and Eve are probably going to hook up then...#EastEnders."
Future scenes
Another added: "With Suki and Eve having problems in the near future, I absolutely sense an Ash/Eve relationship/affair in the future #eastenders", as one viewer exclaimed: "If they've brought Ash back just for an affair with Eve, I will not be held responsible #EastEnders."
In forthcoming scenes, Eve and Suki are broken after their meeting with Harleen, but Ash tries to make them see the situation from both sides. Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) also steps in as an unlikely support for Suki and encourages her to fight for Ria.
EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday on BBC One and iPlayer.
