EastEnders viewers believe villain Nish Panesar will kill a BBC soap character in the coming weeks ahead of his exit from the show, with the Panesar family now at risk

There could be deadly scenes ahead on EastEnders, as fans think Nish Panesar will kill again.

Decades on from him murdering a man he’d wrongly believed was having an affair with his then wife Suki Panesar, Nish could be about to strike again. He seems to want revenge against his whole family, while his main targets are Suki and her wife-to-be Eve Unwin.

Hearing their wedding was back on this week despite him begging Suki never to marry again, he felt betrayed. Nish, who is dying from a terminal illness after a virus attacked his heart earlier this year, made Suki promise never to marry again – especially Eve.

Nish now wants to stop the wedding, and will do whatever it takes to ensure the pair do not get their happy ending. The villain clearly has something dark planned, wanting to take revenge on those he feels has wronged him, while make sure Suki and Eve do not get married.

Knowing his past, fans are betting there’s danger ahead for the character and it certainly seems some people may need to watch their backs. Now, viewers are convinced Nish will kill a character, either intentionally or by accident.

But it’s not Suki or Eve that they believe will die. With fans predicting drama and deadly scenes in the lead-up to the wedding, if not on the wedding itself, viewers fear a shocking death is on the cards.

Given how torn Nugget has been with whether or not to abandon his grandfather, with Nish trying to turn him against Suki, fans think he could be involved in Nish remaining on the loose. More than that though, they worry Nugget will shockingly die in the big episodes at the hands of Nish.

Will Nish try to kill Suki or Eve and end up killing his beloved grandson? Could he accidentally hurt him, or might he intentionally hurt Nugget and other members of the family in a brutal revenge?

Viewers certainly think so, with one theory reading: “Nugget gets killed my mistake when Nish tries to kill Eve.” Another viewer posted: “Nish will kill off Nugget.” One comment said: “Nish is going to try and get Eve killed but somehow nugget ends up being killed by mistake. You heard it here first.”

Whether someone does die remains to be seen, with spoilers yet to be released for Christmas and New Year. That said, a director working on the soap recently teased a huge block was being filmed for New Year!

EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
