Gobsmacked EastEnders viewers only just realising two soap favourites are married (Image: ITV) EastEnders fans were gobsmacked as they suddenly realised two Albert Square regulars are married. This week in the beloved soap, Suki Panesar, played by Balvinder Sopal, received a visit from her adolescent flame and cherished friend Ayesha, portrayed by Laila Rouass. A twist of fate saw Ayesha appear in Walford after Suki's sinister ex-spouse Nish, enacted by Navin Chowdhry, orchestrated their encounter.

A newcomer to the scene, Ayesha is mourning her late husband Hardeep, whom Nish murdered over twenty years prior under the false belief that an affair was taking place between Hardeep and Suki. However, the truth was that it was Ayesha for whom Suki harboured secret affections. Nourishing his grudge against Suki, Nish sowed seeds of mistrust in the mind of Suki's partner Eve Unwin (Heather Peace), suggesting the lesbian Ayesha might jeopardize their love affair.

Tuesday's show (August 6) saw Eve feeling sidelined as a bond seemed to reignite between Suki and Ayesha, leading Eve to disclose her worries to Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner). function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
