Nish Panesar makes sick plan for son Vinny as he faces death in EastEnders
NISH Panesar will come up with a shocking new plan for his own son Vinny in EastEnders.
The dying man has been coming up with a scheming plot over the past few months to exact revenge on his son Vinny for siding with his mother Suki amid their disaster break-up.
Over the months, Vinny has tried to hide that he is planning to work against his own father with Nish equally having done the same.
As part of the many Panesar mind games, Vinny has been seemingly remaining loyal to Nish in order to stay on his good side and to use it to his and Suki’s benefit.
However, in upcoming scenes, the so-called master plans will seemingly begin to unravel.
Next week, Suki and Eve will join forced to throw Vinny a birthday party at the local Walford gay bar The Prince Albert.
However, they make it clear that Nish is not welcome at his son’s shindig.
Meanwhile, Nish gets wind that undercover police are digging into the chicken shop business that he owns and so he decided to come up with a cunning plan which will have devastating consequences for Vinny.
Amidst the chaos, and unaware of his father’s planned deceit, Vinny decided to offer an olive branch and invite Nish to the party.
Realising his son is being genuine and showing true emotion, Nish steps up as his dad and decides to attend all the while shelving plans for his big elaborate plot.
As the party gets underway, Suki is taken aback when she speaks with Nish and he offers up compliments on her parenting skills.
The rare heartfelt comments shock her and his nice act continues when he offers up a very precious present for Vinny to mark his birthday.
When Vinny shows the incredible gift to Suki, she is left unconvinced and determines that it is a cheap stunt to win Vinny over.
This causes her to force Vinny into making a decision which could lead to catastrophic consequences.
Plus, will Nish be able to keep up his heartwarming gestures to Vinny or will his evil side rise once again?
