Suki Panesar has grown terrified her son Vinny may face a grisly fate like his brother, Jags Panesar.

Unfortunately, with the chance of a donor being low, Nish's health is slowly deteriorating and after finding out that ex-wife Suki ( Balvinder Sopal ) was in cahoots with their son Vinny ( Shiv Jalota ) to take over the family empire, a plot for vengeance bloomed in his mind.

During this Monday's instalment of the BBC One soap (September 23, 2024), Suki desperately tried to warn Vinny that Nish couldn't be trusted and her worst fears were confirmed when she learned her ex-husband was planning to frame Vinny for his money laundering.

Making his first appearance in Walford in October 2019, Jagvir "Jags" Singh Panesar was portrayed by actor Amar Adatia and first arrived in the Square with Kheerat when the pair decided to confront Ben Mitchell for stealing the latter's car.
