EastEnders star Balvinder Sopal has teased "high-intensity drama" to come during Suki Panesar and Eve Unwin's wedding.
The couple are set to tie the knot on New Year's Day, though danger is lurking in the form of Nish following his prison escape.
Opening up about Suki's feelings ahead of the wedding, Balvinder admitted her character is "obviously very nervous, and anxious" about marrying Eve.

"I think this has been a long time coming, and I think that Suki can’t believe that she’s finally allowed to, or rather has allowed herself, to invite a little bit of happiness in that is going to change the rest of her life," she explained.

"It’s quite a pivotal moment in Suki’s psyche, as she’s given in to happiness which hasn’t really happened before for her character but in true soap style, nothing goes smoothly."
She admitted that Suki is nervous about Nish, and "there is a huge cloud that is hanging over this happy moment" in her life.

"Nish isn’t somebody to let things lie, and if he gets wind of it, there is always the danger of him getting involved somehow, and just destroying any bit of happiness that Suki has," she said.
"Not just her, the whole family, as this is a really lovely moment for everyone involved, and Nish has the potential to totally rip that from under her feet. Everyone is bracing themselves as Nish has a vendetta.
"Suki knows Nish too well, and I think she may have led herself to believe that this was the last of him, but I don’t think she is entirely surprised that he has broken out," Balvinder added.

"What has surprised her is the length that he has gone to show his face again. I also think she’s a lot stronger now, which is why she makes the decision to continue."
Noting that "there’s always a lot of drama" with the Panesars, the star joked: "They were born into drama! [Laughs] Drama follows them everywhere, so yes in true EastEnders, Walford-style, you can expect the Panesars to bring a whole load of high-intensity drama."
Further teasing what fans can expect, Balvinder declared: "You can expect beauty, in every sense of the word. High intense drama, I mean that was three words within itself. [Laughs] And edge of your seat drama!"
EastEnders airs on Mondays-Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast.
