Suki Dies In Hospital As She Exits | EastEnders

Walford is about to be rocked by a chain of events so explosive that no corner of Albert Square will remain untouched. In the coming episodes of EastEnders, secrets long buried begin to surface, loyalties are tested to breaking point, and tragedy looms large as Suki Panesar Unwin’s story takes a devastating and final turn. From manipulation at the Minute Mart to a shocking prison twist involving Zoe Slater, and a dark truth threatening to tear Ravi and Nugget apart, the Square is heading into one of its most intense weeks yet.

The drama begins quietly enough with Honey Mitchell, who has no idea she’s about to become a pawn in a dangerous game. New arrival Beia Pollard, a familiar face from Linda Carter’s past, has been making uneasy waves since stepping foot in Walford. On the surface, Beia seems eager to settle in and start fresh, but it quickly becomes clear her friendliness hides a far more calculating nature.

Beia’s opportunity comes when chaos erupts at the Minute Mart involving two troublesome teenagers. Keen to prove herself, she steps in to help clean up the mess, earning herself a trial shift from Vinnie Panesar. What Vinnie doesn’t realise is that Beia orchestrated the entire incident, secretly paying the girls to cause trouble so she could look like the hero. From the very start, Beia has been playing a long and dangerous game.

As Beia prepares for her first proper shift, she’s buzzing with excitement, especially with Honey there to guide her through the ropes. Honey, ever patient and kind, does her best to make Beia feel welcome. But the atmosphere shifts when Vinnie arrives and speaks dismissively to Honey, his curt and patronising tone immediately rubbing Beia the wrong way. Her resentment only deepens as Suki later snaps at Honey, treating her with her usual sharp-edged authority.

Watching Suki belittle someone as gentle as Honey pushes Beia over the edge. When Honey injures her back while working, Beia wastes no time planting a dangerous seed in her mind, suggesting she consider legal action against the Panesar family. It’s a reckless move, especially given how powerful and unforgiving the Panesars can be. As one insider warns, Beia is treading on very thin ice—provoking the Panesars on her first day could cost her far more than just a job.

Things spiral further when Beia convinces Honey to share a bottle of wine inside the shop after hours. What starts as harmless venting turns into a tipsy bonding session, with the pair joking about dragging Suki through the courts. But as the alcohol lowers Honey’s guard, she lets slip a secret she’s kept hidden for years—one that could destroy Suki if it falls into the wrong hands.

Honey confesses that back in 2021, during a time when Suki was deeply conflicted about her identity, Suki once tried to kiss her. It was a brief, confusing moment, long before Suki’s relationship with Eve, and Honey has never spoken about it since. While it may seem insignificant now that Suki is married and has moved on, Beia is anything but trustworthy. With this explosive revelation in her possession, the question isn’t if she’ll use it—but how.

As Beia edges closer to weaponising Honey’s confession, Suki’s world begins to crumble in ways she never saw coming. Already under immense pressure from family tensions and past traumas, Suki’s health suddenly takes a terrifying turn. Rushed to hospital amid mounting stress and conflict, her condition rapidly worsens. Loved ones gather, arguments linger unsaid, and regrets hang heavy in the air. In a heartbreaking twist, Suki dies in hospital, marking a shocking and emotional exit that leaves the Panesar family shattered and Walford reeling.

But the heartbreak doesn’t end there.

Across the Square, Zoe Slater is fighting the darkest battle of her life—from behind bars. After six months of relentless trauma involving gun violence, emotional devastation, a missing child, and the terror of a relentless stalker, Zoe’s life imploded in a single night. The truth came crashing down all at once: her stalker was unmasked, her long-lost child Jasmine Fischer was found, and an old enemy resurfaced. All of it unfolded in the bloody aftermath of a violent confrontation with Jasmine’s father, Anthony Truman, who tragically lost his life.

Believing that Chrissy Watts delivered the fatal blow while she was unconscious, Zoe made an impossible choice. To protect Jasmine—who had been manipulated into helping Chrissy with the stalking—Zoe took the blame. Now imprisoned and preparing to plead guilty to manslaughter, Zoe is sacrificing her freedom to keep her daughter safe.

Cat Slater, frantic over her daughter’s fate, pushes Jasmine to tell the police the truth about Chrissy. But terrified that her own secrets will be exposed, Jasmine vanishes instead. With Jasmine missing and Chrissy seemingly off the radar, Zoe’s future looks bleak—until a familiar face resurfaces.

Jake Moon is heading back to Walford, and his return could change everything. Once presumed dead after a failed revenge plot orchestrated by Johnny Allen, Jake resurfaced years later and reunited with Chrissy after her release from prison. Their decision to leave together hinted at redemption, but cracks soon appeared. Chrissy’s brief return at Christmas 2025—and her cold refusal to respond to Jake—suggested their reunion had already fallen apart.

Now back alone, Jake may be the Slaters’ only hope. With deep ties to both Zoe and Alfie Moon, Jake is fiercely loyal to family—but torn by his complicated feelings for Chrissy. Can he really turn against the woman he once loved to save Zoe? And if he finds Chrissy, will she finally tell the truth about what really happened that Christmas Day?

Meanwhile, another truth threatens to explode as Nugget Gulati edges closer to uncovering the horrifying reality behind his own attack. Rumours swirl that the Mitchells were responsible for the assault that left Nugget badly injured, and he becomes determined to find out what really happened.

Viewers know the truth is far more disturbing. Ravi was drugged by Nicola and Harry as revenge for his past cruelty, sending him into terrifying hallucinations of his late father Nish. In a psychotic break, Ravi attacked Nugget in a dark alley, believing he was confronting his abusive dad. The next day, a devastated Ravi realised what he’d done. He confessed to Priya, who lied to the police to protect him, leaving Nugget completely in the dark.

As Ravi secretly works as a police informant and Mark becomes tangled in the same dangerous investigation, tensions rise. When Barney overhears Priya accusing Nicola and Harry of causing Nugget’s injuries, suspicion spreads. Nugget begins asking questions—and listening more closely than anyone realises.

When Nugget confronts Barney and then storms off to face Nicola and Harry himself, Ravi and Priya panic. Desperate, they spin an entirely false story, with the Mitchells reluctantly backing them up. But Nugget isn’t convinced. As his determination hardens, Ravi grows increasingly terrified that the truth will come out—and he’s willing to do anything to stop that from happening.

With Suki gone, Zoe’s fate hanging in the balance, and Nugget on the brink of uncovering a devastating secret, Walford is heading for chaos. One truth could shatter a family forever. Another could set an innocent woman free. And in the aftermath of Suki’s tragic death, the Square may never be the same again.

EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday at 7:30pm on BBC One, with episodes available early on BBC iPlayer.
