EastEnders star Navin Chowdhry has teased that ‘no one can imagine’ the horror evil Nish Panesar has in store for The Six in the soap’s spectacular Halloween episode.
Its a big week in Walford next week, as Nish uncovers the truth about what happened on Christmas night and how his ex-wife Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) was involved in the cover-up of Keanu Taylor’s (Danny Walters) murder.
In true Nish Panesar fashion, he uses this newfound information to his advantage and manipulates Suki into getting the future he wants with her.
But as the week progresses, things soon escalate for the rest of The Six, with an explosive showdown set for 31 October, as Suki, Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), Denise Fox (Diane Parish), Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) and Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) face fresh terror.
‘He’s got one massive trick up his sleeve that I don’t think anyone could expect,’ Navin says of the special episode.
‘Nobody can see the hand he’s going to play, and no one can imagine what he has in store on Halloween night.’
Navin continues: ‘He now holds the key to all their freedom, and he’s going to use it to get exactly what he wants. To his surprise, and out of nowhere, he suddenly has this wonderful opportunity to tighten his hold on his family and all around him.
‘He’s been empowered, totally empowered.’
Whatever Nish does have in store for The Six, Nish’s days on Albert Square still look to be numbered.
After the character was diagnosed with a terminal lung condition earlier this year, it has been reported that Nish’s exit storyline will see an inferno sweep through Walford.
Could it be that Nish ends up meeting a fiery end on Halloween?
EastEnders airs these scenes from Monday 28 October at 7.30pm on BBC One, and from 6am on iPlayer.
