EastEnders star's exit 'sealed' as Halloween murder to take place in Queen Vic

EastEnders enthusiasts are certain that Nish Panesar will meet his end on Halloween, following a tense confrontation with The Six.

On Wednesday's visit to the Square (October 30), the scheming Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) made himself at home in the family abode after Suki (Balvinder Sopal) consented to his stay.

The family head is attempting to shield herself after Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) inadvertently revealed to Nish that it was Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) who ended Keanu Taylor's (Danny Walters) life on Christmas Day. He also found out that it was Denise Fox (Diane Parish) who hit him with a bottle.

He leveraged this information to coerce Suki into reuniting with him and the couple announced their reunion to the bewildered Panesar-Gulati family.

Suki was taken aback when the Granthi arrived to bless the relationship between her and her terminally ill, abusive ex-spouse, reports the Daily Star.

Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), a fellow member of The Six, interrupted the family gathering and was appalled by the unfolding events. She also expressed concern for her missing best friend and Suki's true love, Eve Unwin (Heather Peace), who is in Yorkshire visiting her estranged mother.

However, when seemingly alone, Suki confides in Stacey that Nish would be blamed for Keanu's murder. She agrees to Nish's reconciliation demands, but plans to sever all ties with him once he's incarcerated, leaving him to die alone.

Nish, hearing the conversation, has decided against turning himself in and is set to cherish his final moments with family.

The drama intensifies on Thursday (October 31), where Nish is anticipated to clash with The Six at The Queen Vic, causing speculation among fans regarding his fate.

On social media platform X, one viewer posted, "We all thinking Nish dying tomorrow but also heard he is around for another few weeks? I think his exit is in November? ? #EastEnders." Another followed up saying, "Tomorrow will be my first 6am watch since January - praying it's the end of Narcissist Nish #EastEnders."

Meanwhile, one fan expressed discomfort with recent episodes, writing: "This week is such uncomfortable viewing. I hope tomorrow is the end of Nish Panesar."

Another soap fan speculated, "I've a feeling there's a showdown with him and #TheSix in the Vic and he collapses but this time nobody helps and they just watch him die. Hope Eve is back to give him a slap first though #EastEnders."

One eagle-eyed viewer spotted a similarity to a previous storyline. "Didn't Trevor die on Halloween?" they wrote. "Similar death for Nish maybe?".

A further commenter added: "Nish doesn't go to the police so he summons the Six to The Vic. I think as he is explaining his plan either Eve will turn up and kill him from behind or The Six/one of the six will kill him similar to Christmas."
