‘Kill him off’ demand EastEnders fans as Walford resident finally gets revenge on soap villain

PRYIA Nandra-Hart finally got her revenge on Nish Panesar for lying about sleeping with him in tonight’s EastEnders.

The mum-of-two was cast aside from the Panesar family after Nish (Navin Chowdhry) revealed that that she came onto him.

But Priya (Sophie Khan Levy) got her revenge after she fooled him into fixing the fuse in the Minute Mart.

She quickly handcuffed him to a pipe in the storage cupboard and whipped out her phone.

Priya started recording and told Nish to confess that they never slept together.

Nish replied: “Go to hell” and demanded Priya to release him as it wasn’t funny.

Priya retaliated saying: “Do you think it’s funny trying to keep a mum from her kids. Just because yours can’t stand the sight of you despite what they say!”

She then insisted he needed time to think and leaves him locked in there with the lights off and medication away from his reach.

EastEnders viewers were thrilled Priya finally gave Nish a taste of his own medicine.

Taking to X – formerly known as Twitter – one viewer said: “Nish isn’t dead yet?!! Kmt I need Priya to kill him off #EastEnders.”

Another wrote: “I’d really laugh if it is Priya that brings Nish down for good.”

A third penned: “#EastEnders Nish not happy.”

Later in the episode, a very weak Nish was collapsed on the floor when Suki (Balvinder Sopal) and Vinny (Shiv Jalota) walked into the closed Minute Mart.

He failed to call out to them for help, but did overhear what they were talking about.

Viewers know that Vinny and Suki are pretending to be at war with each other to bring Nish down from his pedestal and steal all his businesses.

Nish was left stunned to learn they are in fact working together.

Most complained about soap storylines

Over the years, all three of the main soaps have featured plots that have had even die-hard fans reaching for their phones and laptops so they can get in touch with Ofcom and complain. Here are just some of the most scandalous…

EastEnders baby theft: 13,400 Ofcom complaints – Back in 2011, EastEnders was flooded with complaints when Ronnie Branning (RIP) swapped her baby for the dead son of Kat Moon. The storyline drew the most number of objections in the soap’s long history and saw it roundly criticised by campaigners – with 13,400 flying in over the course of the storyline. Some viewers called it “distressing” and “horrific” but Ofcom ruled the scenes were not “unduly disturbing”.

Emmerdale dog-napping: 550 Ofcom complaints – Back in 2016, Ross Barton and Charity Dingle came up with a plan to steal a dog and hold it ransom – but viewers didn’t like it one bit. The nation’s pet owners rose up, insisting the storyline would encourage copycats (not to mention copydogs). Complaints over two episodes totalled a staggering 550 and soap writers quickly learnt you don’t mess with animal-lovers.

Coronation Street double murder: 546 Ofcom complaints – Marginally less people complained about a gruesome double murder than objected to a dog-napping plot when Pat Phelan was at the centre of a spate of killings. First he forced Andy Carver to shoot dead Vinny Ashford – and then Pat killed Andy. All the bloodshed back in 2017 proved to be too much for some viewers, who lodged complaints in vast numbers about the “violent scenes”.

He overheard Vinny tell Suki: “I hate him as much as you do. It just feels weird screwing over dad when he’s already a condemned man.”

Suki told him that Nish would be proud of him on some level, and that he will never find out.

But with Nish on the verge of dying, will he remember what he’s heard if he makes it to the morning?

EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday on BBC One and iPlayer.
