Nish lay dying before Suki saved his life, but the situation escalated when The Six were confronted by Keanu Taylor, who Linda then killed in a bid to save Sharon.
The women tried to cover up their various crimes, but as it’s soapland, the truth was eventually revealed.
Nish became aware that Denise was the one who attacked him, and her actions will come back to haunt her in upcoming scenes.
Denise’s mental health spiralled earlier this year after the Christmas Day ordeal, and while she’s been on the mend in recent months, Nish and the threat of repercussions is never far away.
Recent episodes saw the soap villain escape from prison and seek revenge on Suki and Eve.
The news of his jail break soon reached Walford, and Denise is left on edge as well as those in the Panesar household.
In upcoming scenes, Nish’s granddaughter Avani manages to convince Denise to let her have a casual job in the salon.
Later, Jack lets Denise know there’s been a suspected sighting of Nish by an anonymous caller.
A while later, Avani and Denise are in the salon when two masked men break in and say Nish sent them, leaving a fragile Denise terrified.
Following their ordeal, Ravi consoles his daughter before going to speak to Denise.

MICHELLE Collins has seen her second EastEnders stint boost her bank balance. Yet what stars have quit this year?
The Sun exclusively reported how Michelle, 62, was down to £20,000 in her company accounts when she agreed to a shock back-from-the-dead return to Albert Square last year.
Her character, Cindy Beale, was presumed dead off-camera in 1998.
Yet what about the 2024 exits?
Earlier this summer, loyal soap fans appeared to note how Stevie Mitchell had “quit” the long-running series.
It came after Alan Ford enjoyed just six-months on-screen.
Bobby Beale actor Clay Milner Russell also left this year after five years in Walford.
Fans also feared Martin Fowler actor James Bye would “quit out of boredom” over recent storylines.
Additionally, a host of stars have quit the BBC soap for Hollywood fame.
One of the most successful stars to come from the BBC One soap is Rob Kazinsky.
He played Stacey Slater’s brother Sean Slater from 2006 to 2009, he has starred in Hollywood blockbusters Pacific Rim and Captain Marvel.
Ben Hardy, who quit EastEnders as Bobby Beale almost a decade ago, went on to break Hollywood the following year, when he starred as Archangel in X-Men: Apocalypse.
Since then, he has played Roger Taylor in Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, and he starred in Michael Bay’s Netflix movie 6 Underground.
Michelle Ryan played Zoe Slater until 2005.
She starred as the lead in short-lived American series Bionic Woman from 2007 to 2008.
