EastEnders star sparks concerns she’s leaving soap with emotional post as fans say ‘it sounds like a goodbye’

EASTENDERS favourite Heather Peace have left fans concerned that she's quit the soap after sharing an emotional post.

The actress, who plays ex-con and solicitor Eve Unwin on the BBC One soap, has been having an affair with Suki Panesar for several months.

Last night, viewers were horrified as Nish Panesar violently attacked Eve after discovering her affair with his wife Suki - and then ordered his son Ravi to kill her.

The actress has since taken to social media to share her thoughts on the dramatic storyline and wrote: "#Sukeve reveal day.

"The secret is out! Nish knows! I love this story and the time and care that's been taken by all the team EastEnders. Suki's story has resonated with so many from what I've seen."

She continued: "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.

"It's been a precious thing, certainly for me, having not seen a love story like this when I was growing up.

"I feel blessed to have worked alongside so many beautiful actors too who also care about storytelling."

Her post left fans wondering if Eve's time was up on the Square.

One wrote: "Sounds like you’re saying goodbye?"

Another said: "I hope your character Eve is not dead. I love your character," with a tear emoji.

"Please tell me you haven’t left the show and your not dead, my highlight of my night is to see you on my screen," this fan posted.

Another added: "This had better not be the end of yet another lesbian relationship...this has got to be one of the best portrayed love story on a soap ever, please let it continue."

The truth finally came out last night and it had dire consequences for Eve.

Nish stole Suki’s phone and summoned Eve to Walford East to confront her to accuse her of taking advantage of Suki.

But Eve hit him with the truth, telling him all about their affair and how much she and Suki love each other.

She wound him up and told him: “Me and her, we’re leaving tonight and there’s nothing you can do to stop us.”

Eve told Nish he was a tiny little controlling man and that his control of Suki was over it and him.

Eve went to leave and told Nish that he had no way of stopping her and she walked out but he followed and violently hit her with a bottle, knocking her out and leaving Suki desperately calling her.

Nish then called his killer son Ravi to help him.

“It was an accident, she slipped,” lied Nish.

But when Ravi asked if Eve was dead, Nish told him: “Not yet. But you’ve got to be quick.

“You need to get rid. I’m on licence, if I do it I risk going back to prison for the duration. I’d lose everything. You want her to tell this story to the police? I’ll go down Ravi.”

“You’ve got to help me. I’ve got no-one else to turn to. You’re the only person I trust in the world, the only one.
