In an explosive twist on EastEnders, Nish Panesar’s arrest sets off a storm of emotions and consequences, particularly for Denise Fox, who finds herself wracked with guilt over his

incarceration. In a nail-biting Halloween episode, Nish’s volatile behavior reaches a boiling point as he physically confronts his ex-wife, Suki, before finally confessing to the murder of

Keanu Taylor. This dramatic admission leads to his arrest, with Nish ultimately taking the fall to protect the women involved in the incident, especially Suki, despite their fractured

relationship.

Nish’s arrest sends shockwaves through Walford. Denise, who was a part of the cover-up, feels an overwhelming sense of guilt. She knows Nish’s arrest isn’t just about justice—it’s tied to the complex web of secrets and alliances that have kept the truth hidden for so long. Meanwhile, Suki faces her own conflict. Although Nish took the blame for Keanu’s death, he extracted a promise from her: to refrain from pursuing a relationship with Eve, the person she truly loves. Now, Suki must decide if she’ll keep her word or follow her heart, a choice that could have serious repercussions if Nish learns she’s broken her vow.

As Nish faces the reality of his prison sentence, he takes a calculated approach, gathering “the six” (Suki and the women involved) to confront them. The tense meeting at The Vic exposes cracks in their unity, with Nish using his knowledge of the Christmas events to apply pressure. Though he’s willing to shield the women from prosecution, his demands reveal his manipulative nature and ongoing obsession with controlling Suki.

In a moment of remorse, Nish appears ready to take responsibility for Keanu’s murder, but only on the condition that Suki reaffirms her commitment to him. When he realizes she plans to end things, however, Nish’s anger resurfaces, and he lashes out, stirring fear among the women. The police sirens eventually approach, marking a defining moment as Nish decides to take the blame, offering a rehearsed confession to the authorities. This shocking turn of events leaves fans wondering if this is truly the last they’ll see of Nish, especially since rumors suggest actor Navin Chowdhry is departing the show after two intense years.

Though it seems Nish may exit Walford for good, some fans speculate he could return in the future, perhaps with unfinished business and a desire for revenge. In the meantime, the drama continues to unfold as Denise and Suki wrestle with their decisions and the impact of Nish’s departure. As the Halloween episode concludes, viewers are left questioning whether Suki will stay true to her promise or if this dark chapter in her life has finally come to a close.
