Suki Panesar has always walked a fine line between ruthless and redeemable. But now, after the most jaw-dropping twist in recent EastEnders history, viewers are calling for her character to be axed immediately. The backlash is fierce, the reactions are fiery—and it all centers around a storyline so bizarre, even long-time fans are switching off in disbelief.

It began with a dark, unsettling development. Suki’s step-granddaughter, Avani, was revealed to be pregnant—shocking enough on its own. But the father? None other than Joel Marshall, a disturbing and abusive incel figure whose presence in Walford has already drawn criticism. The storyline was already controversial, but what happened next set social media ablaze.

When Avani, confused and overwhelmed, decided to terminate the pregnancy, Suki took a drastic step: she tried to stop her. Fans were stunned. Why would Suki, a woman known for her sharp mind and emotional restraint, interfere so forcefully in Avani’s personal decision?

The answer revealed itself in a chilling twist.

Despite already being the mother of four, Suki suddenly announced she wanted another baby. Not her own—but Avani’s. And not for Avani to raise—for Suki and her wife Eve to adopt and raise as their own child. The plot has stunned longtime watchers, who never expected the businesswoman to spiral into such a disturbing obsession.

In scenes that aired this past week, Suki was seen manipulating Avani, convincing her to carry the pregnancy to term and hand the baby over after birth. The emotional stakes have soared—but so has viewer outrage.

Because Eve doesn’t know.

Suki hasn’t told her wife anything about this secret plan. In fact, Eve hasn’t even agreed to having children—let alone to raise Avani’s baby. It’s a powder keg of deception and emotional manipulation waiting to explode.

Online reaction has been swift and brutal. Fans are not just frustrated—they’re furious. One viewer wrote on X, “Suki is just so vile right now. The worst she’s ever been. A terrible shame after such an incredible arc over the past few years.” Another slammed the show’s writers, saying, “This storyline came out of nowhere and has destroyed Suki’s character.”

And it’s true—until now, Suki had built up a layered, compelling arc. Her struggles with internalized shame, her toxic marriage, and her gradual, complicated love story with Eve had earned her a fanbase that rooted for her transformation. But in one sweeping plot twist, all that goodwill seems to be unraveling.

The core problem for many viewers is that the storyline feels forced. Suki’s maternal desires, while hinted at subtly in the past, were never this extreme. The notion that she would manipulate a traumatised teenager into giving birth to a child conceived through abuse—and plan to secretly raise it without her partner’s knowledge—strikes many as out of character and tonally off for a show known for its grounded family drama.

But some fans are still holding on to hope. Could this be a setup for a redemption twist? A breakdown? A reckoning?

Others aren’t convinced. The volume of comments demanding Suki’s exit is growing by the day. While soap characters are known for moral ambiguity, some feel the show has pushed her beyond the point of no return. And the fact that Suki was once a beacon of slow-burn character evolution makes the backlash all the more intense.

In the meantime, Eve remains in the dark, and Avani is trapped between a pregnancy she doesn’t want and an elder she once trusted now pressuring her into one of the biggest decisions of her life.

And Joel—whose presence triggered this mess—has yet to face any real consequence for his actions. His twisted manipulation of Avani, combined with Suki’s coercion, creates a storyline laced with layers of abuse, control, and silence.

The big question now is: Where does EastEnders go from here?

Will Eve discover Suki’s plan and confront her in a devastating showdown? Will Avani reclaim control over her body and future? Will Suki spiral even further—and will it cost her everything?

As the BBC soap navigates the fallout, one thing is certain: viewers are watching closely—and they have no patience for redemption arcs without accountability.
