EastEnders poised for historic UK soap moment with Suki and Eve storyline
EastEnders is about to make soap history, and fans are absolutely thrilled.
This week in Walford, Suki Panesar (played by Balvinder Sopal) was visited by an old friend and first love, Ayesha (Laila Rouass), who arrived in the square following Suki's wicked ex-husband Nish's (Navin Chowdhry) attempt to orchestrate the reunion.
In a spiteful move, Nish sowed seeds of doubt in the mind of Suki's partner, Eve Unwin (Heather Peace), suggesting that Ayesha could jeopardise their relationship. The next day, Eve felt side-lined as Suki and Ayesha reconnected. She shared her concerns with Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), who advised her to disregard Nish's manipulative tactics.
Later in the episode, Eve proposed to Suki in a touching scene. However, when Suki didn't respond, a mortified Eve fled and spent the night elsewhere.
Suki attempted to contact Eve but was unsuccessful. Later, Suki had a heart-to-heart with Ayesha, who urged her not to let Eve slip away, reports the Daily Star.
Determined, Suki went to the Vic to make a grand gesture to Eve. In a sweet moment, Suki asked Eve to marry her, and Eve was overjoyed to accept.
Moreover, if Suki and Eve manage to have a successful wedding, it would be a first for a UK soap opera. There has never been a successful lesbian wedding on soaps before - typically, one character meets an untimely end.
Suki and Eve's engagement announcement has set social media abuzz, with fans eagerly commenting on the potential for a ground-breaking soap wedding. On X, previously known as Twitter, reactions poured in.
One viewer speculated: "EastEnders about to pull off the first successful lesbian UK soap wedding? ", while another chimed in with enthusiasm, saying: "It's about time, the first ever lesbian wedding in a soap by such an amazing couple that deserve happiness."
A third fan expressed excitement at the prospect of a live event: "I can't lie. I would love this! Even better if it's done live! A first live successful lesbian UK soap wedding. Yes please!".
