EastEnders Star Heather Peace previewed Suki and Eve’s future after their split.
Fans hoping the two women would finally reunite hit another roadblock earlier this month after Suki mysteriously fell down the stairs (or, perhaps, was pushed?).
Suki was forced to scramble when her son Vinny caught wind of the affair, and she promised to break things off with Eve once and for all as long as Vinny kept this secret from her father Nish.
It may seem like all hope is lost for the potential couple, but Eve actress Heather Peace encouraged fans not to give up on the couple just yet.

“I think with the way these two are – it’s such a meeting of souls – that even though Suki absolutely says this is it, if they’re together in a space and the signs are all there, Eve will always be brought back because that’s the love of our life,” she said. digital spy and other media.
“I just don’t think these two women can separate, no matter how hard they try, they can’t separate.
“This is how Bal [Suki Panesar actress Balvinder Sopal] and I played everything to the end. They desperately tried not to at times. But unless one of them goes overseas, they will keep going in circles.”
Heather expressed her hope that fans will “understand” this twist in the story, after their emotional breakup scene.

“I think we’ve done it in a way that works and in a way that people will understand. I think we all know that breaking up isn’t breaking up. Ultimately, being in the same square, they’re always going to fall to each other. I think anyway, although we haven’t reached that block,” she said.
The star continued, “I don’t think Eve is someone who really thinks long term. I think she knows she wants to be with Suki for the rest of her life, I think she knows. that she absolutely could, but I don’t think she’s making any proper plans I think she sort of flies by the seat of her pants, right away, then works it out as she goes as things happen.
“While I imagine Suki thinks more long term and I think she acts quite impulsively and so it just has to happen once in a while and we can address that as we move forward. .
“I still don’t believe she’s afraid of Nish. She’s only afraid of what Nish might do to Suki. It’s the same as not being afraid of anyone.”
Heather added that while she doesn’t really understand Suki giving up on her true love, Eve would never make Suki choose between her family and their relationship.
“I don’t think she would ever make him choose,” she said. “Eve was instrumental in trying to bridge the gap between Ash and his mother.
“She’s an amazing character because at the end of the day, she cares more about other people than herself. If the writers did that, I’d probably go and ask the question ‘why’, to be honest .
“Suki is nothing without the love of her children – it’s part of who she is. It’s all or nothing, really.”
EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show is also streaming on BBC iPlayer.
