EastEnders has written in a key scene to explain why Suki Panesar (Balwinder Sopal) is on crutches.
The Walford businesswoman got a huge shock in last night's episode (May 27) when her ex-husband Nish (Navin Chowdhry) back unannounced and handed her their divorce papers.
Nish has been absent from Albert Square for months after his family caught him threatening Suki and… plans to flush girlfriend Kat Mitchell (Jessie Wallace) of her husband Phil's (Steve McFadden) business and financial assets which she would acquire in her own divorce settlement.
Early in the episode, Suki shared a sweet moment discussing girlfriend Eve Unwin's (Heather Peace) birthday plans.
However, fans were more distracted by the fact that she had to use the support of crutches to move around the house.
When Eve labeled her partner “hop-along,” Suki chirped back and explained, “It's not a real mosh pit unless someone ends up on crutches and you know it.”
The petition to show Suke at their respective performance/festival starts here.
As the episode played out, the true purpose of Nish's arrival became clear when he told his family that he was terminally ill.
Actress Balvinder was spotted wearing a moon boot on the BAFTAs red carpet earlier this month. While it's not clear what caused the injury, she smiled for the cameras and didn't appear to be in too much pain.
