EastEnders has aired another dramatic development involving Bernie Taylor, following her sudden exit last week.

As Clair Norris left the soap after eight years, Bernie prepared to start a new life in Spain using the money she stole from the Panesars.

Suki tried to stop her, but Bernie reasoned that her revenge was justified, considering the role that Suki played in covering up her brother Keanu’s death.

Ravi and Vinny eventually discovered the truth, but it was too late – as Bernie had headed into the sunset with Felix and the large sum of money.

The Panesars were left reeling by Bernie’s exit, and in the latest episode, they attempted to track her down in Spain.

But Suki reasoned that Bernie would be keeping a low profile for the next few months, as she spent the cash that she stole from the family.

Oblivious about Keanu’s murder, Ravi was confused as to why Suki had let Bernie go, and his day got even worse when he found out that Vinny had called the police on her.

With the authorities getting involved in this messy situation, Ravi couldn’t send a threat to Bernie as he wanted to, as the family would be the prime suspects if anything happened to her.

As the Panesars’ financial troubles stacked up, Ravi also vowed to give Avani a 16th birthday party she would never forget, even though he didn’t have the funds.

To get some cash quickly, Ravi turned back to the dark side and asked a reluctant Nicola to put him in touch with a drug dealer who needed a job doing.

With new contact Okie on side, Ravi ended up with a large stash of drugs in the boot of his car. But when the police arrived to speak to the Panesars, Ravi panicked and persuaded Harry to hide the vehicle in The Arches.

Harry agreed, assuming that Ravi’s motor was dodgy. However, he and Kojo later uncovered the drugs and were left horrified. Can they hide this from boss Phil?
