EastEnders fans warn The Six plot 'isn't over' as key character is 'returning'

EastEnders aired a huge twist for The Six on Halloween as Nish Panesar (played by Navin Chowdhry) confessed to being responsible for Keanu Taylor's (Danny Walters) murder despite being innocent of the crime.

During the latest spooky trip to Walford (October 31), Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) was forced to welcome abusive ex-husband Nish back into her home. He managed to worm his way back into her life after Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) was tricked into telling Nish that it was Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) who killed Keanu.

He also found out that it was Denise Fox (Diane Parish) who hit him with a bottle and wasted no time in using the information to coerce Suki into reuniting with him. But as Nish and Suki settled down for a romantic meal on Halloween, it got too much for the matriarch who fled to The Minute Mart.

Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) soon found Suki heartbroken and warned her to stay away from the man who had abused her for years. Suki insisted she could handle the situation before heading back home to have dinner with Nish.

After she walked through the front door, Nish turned violent and intended to sexually assault a terrified Suki. Stacey rushed through the front door in time to save her followed by Nugget (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury) and Avani (Aaliyah James).

Nish and Suki's grandchildren looked terrified as he tried to reassure them it was "just an argument". But Avani bravely confronted Nish and confirmed Suki did not love him anymore.

Nish started to get emotional as he left the house before demanding The Six, including Suki, Stacey, Sharon, Linda, Kathy and Denise Fox (Diane Parish) meet him in The Queen Vic.

While at the pub, Nish asked for all the gory details of Keanu's murder as police sirens could be heard in the background.

Moments later, Nish told DCI Arthurs (Ian Burfield) that it was his associates that fatally stabbed the mechanic with a meat thermometer and claimed he had planted the murder weapon at Dean Wicks' (Matt Di Angelo) flat.

Witnessed by Suki, Nish insisted that, as a dying man, he wanted to do the right thing – and she soon texted The Six that their ordeal was over.

Led away by police, Nish pleaded with Suki not to marry fiancée Eve Unwin (Heather Peace). As the women stood outside of The Queen Vic, Nish was allowed to watch the fireworks alongside Suki with the sparkling display matching the trademark colours of each of The Six.

But some EastEnders fans are convinced The Six are still in danger as they have yet to deal with Bernie Taylor (Clair Norris) who knows the group of women killed her brother.

Taking to X, one viewer wrote: "Why are people saying it’s the end of the six storyline lol? Far from it loool. Bernie’s coming back and the rest of the square are yet to find out the truth lol #Eastenders."

A second exclaimed: "I hate Nish but I love him so much. He really took the blame. I know it’s not over with Bernie coming back so it’s gonna be interesting what happens next."

A third chimed in: "People saying it’s over like we don’t have Bernie to worry about. #EastEnders."

"Honestly, quite a fitting “end” to the six storyline. but they’ve still got Bernie to deal with #eastenders", added another. While another stated: "Omg I just realised, Nish is gone, but about Bernie??? #EastEnders."

"Not to be a Debbie Downer, but I wouldn't say that the Six storyline is "over". There's still the matter of Bernie. She's gonna make her return in a week or two - and I don't think she's done with the Six yet #EastEnders", predicted another.

EastEnders airs Monday - Thursday at 7:30pm on BBC One and iPlayer
