EastEnders’ Denise Fox is set to face a major threat, amid fears concerning Nish Panesar’s whereabouts.
In this week’s scenes, Nish found out that Suki and Eve’s wedding was still going ahead, after pleading guilty to Keanu’s
murder.
He launched a sinister new scheme, where he paid a prison doctor to pretend that his death was imminent, convincing his
family that he was on his deathbed.
In Wednesday’s episode (December 4), Ravi was devastated when Nish used what he thought were their final moments together to ask him to stop Suki from getting married, and he refused to help with his plan.

Without his family’s support, Nish decided to take matters into his own hands and planned a dramatic escape from prison.
As he was being taken to the hospice, the ambulance was stopped by two armed men, who held the paramedics hostage and allowed Nish to walk out of the vehicle as a free man.
News of Nish’s escape will quickly reach Walford, and it isn’t just Suki, Eve and the Panesars who are scared – the other members of The Six will feel they are under threat once again.
In scenes that will air later this month, with Christmas fast approaching, Avani manages to convince Denise to let her have a casual job in the salon.
But Denise then gets some frightening news, as Jack informs her that there has been a suspected sighting of fugitive Nish by an anonymous caller.

Later, Avani and Denise are in the salon when two masked men break in, telling the pair that they were sent by Nish and leaving them both terrified.
Following their traumatic ordeal, Ravi is quick to console his daughter. He then heads over to confront Denise about what happened, but he is shocked to find her having a panic attack.
Ravi manages to calm her down, but then asks Denise just why she is so scared of Nish returning to Walford. As he is unaware of the events of last Christmas, Ravi is naturally unaware of Denise’s connection to Nish.
Will Denise admit the truth about Keanu’s murder, and will Ravi find out that his dad wasn’t responsible?
These scenes will air on Wednesday, December 18, and Thursday, December 19, on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
