EastEnders viewers are convinced that evil Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) will make a spectacular return in the wake of his arrest.
The twisted businessman was carted off in the back of a police car as he took responsibility for Keanu Taylor’s (Danny Walters) murder in last night’s episode.
As he drove off through the Bridge Street Market, ex-wife Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) and fellow Walford women Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), Denise Fox (Diane Parish) and Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth) watched a fireworks display – firmly believing that their ordeal is over.
After a week of trying to piece together the events of Christmas Day, Nish then made a deal with Suki that would secure her future.
He told her that if she agreed to get back with him until he succumbs to his terminal illness, he would go to the police station and admit to killing Keanu.
Unfortunately, he overheard Suki telling Stacey that she planned to turn her back on him. Later, after attacking her, granddaughter Avani – who was also recently abused by a partner – gave him much needed food for thought.
He gathered The Six at The Queen Vic, asking the ladies every gruesome detail concerning exactly where Keanu was stabbed, which weapon, and how they buried his body.
Nish then relayed the finer details of the story, and it seemed to seal his fate.
