Suki and Eve caught out in EastEnders
As they reunited and planned their getaway, Suki and Eve couldn’t resist throwing caution to the wind on Tuesday night (November 28) when they kissed passionately in the Minute Mart.
However, later on Vinny informed his dad the till was £200 short and suspicious Nish went to check it out. He watched the CCTV to catch the culprit, but instead caught his wife in her embrace.

“I love this story and the time and care that’s been taken by all the team at EastEnders.
Suki’s story has resonated with so many from what I’ve seen. The representation has meant a lot too through Eve presenting the way she does.
“So many thanks to the writers and producers for playing this story out in real time.
