EastEnders is lining up a dramatic New Year, as confirmed in my new spoiler pictures,

as Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) closes in on ex-

wife Suki’s (Balvinder Sopal) marriage to Eve Unwin (Heather Peace).

As viewers of the BBC soap have seen, the twisted businessman has been squirrelled away in a derelict flat on George Street for weeks whilst he plots his revenge on the couple.

Determined to shut down their nuptials, he’s escaped prison and is now manipulating grandson Nugget (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury) into giving him information.

With Suki and Eve a picture of happiness ahead of their big day, will he succeed?

It’s going to be an explosive New Year

The rest of the residents are abuzz with excitement, and are determined not to allow his disappearance to overshadow the events.

As the hen do gets underway on New Year’s Eve, Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) meets up with daughter Penny (Kitty Castledine) in The Queen Vic.

These two haven’t been on the best of terms recently, after she teamed up with Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) to blackmail him.

Are they about to enter a more harmonious 2025?

This is Walford, so probably not.

As he arrived at the hospital ward with a bottle of champers in hand, Ruby is delighted to have him by their side.

But how will Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) – who is harbouring her feelings for Martin – feel?

This is bound to be a week in the East End that we’ll never forget!
