“If Eve doesn’t come back, I will kill you!”

EastEnders has aired Suki Panesar’s reaction to Eve Unwin’s surprise public proposal.

Last night’s (August 7) episode picked up with Eve on one knee right after she popped the question at the Queen Vic.

Suki avoided the question and said she needed “some air”, but an embarrassed Eve told her to not bother and stormed off, with Stacey Slater following her.

Later on, Stacey confronted Suki to defend her friend, hinting at Suki’s ex-husband Nish having played a role in Eve’s unexpected move.

Nish has been trying to drive a wedge between Suki and Eve using the reappearance of Ayesha Siddhu, the first woman Suki ever fell in love with.

“Eve should know better. She knows what Nish is like,” Suki said, but Stacey noted that Nish may have a point.

“You two are pretty close,” Stacey said of Suki and Ayesha, leaving Suki rattled.

After witnessing the failed proposal, a gloating Nish confronted Suki, rubbing it in her face that Eve had left her.

“If Eve doesn’t come back, I will kill you!” Suki hissed after pushing him to the ground.
