EastEnders star Navin Chowdhry has teased his character Nish Panesar’s new shocking plan, following the villain’s discovery of The Six’s deadly secret.
In dramatic scenes set to air this Halloween, Nish stumbles across the six women meeting at No.41 to remember the statements they made last Christmas, as they’re aware Keanu’s murder investigation will be reopened following Dean Wicks’ mistrial.
Now highly suspicious, Nish forces Suki to invite the other women to her house on false pretences. As the situation escalates, the group realise their deadly secret is no longer safe.

On Halloween night, Nish invites the women to the The Vic after closing hours. But what does he have to say?
According to Chowdry, Nish will “totally” be using his discovery of The Six’s secret “to his advantage”.
“He’s never had a better bargaining chip to blackmail Suki than the information which could send all of The Six to jail,” the actor shared.
“He now holds the key to all their freedom, and he’s going to use it to get exactly what he wants.”

Chowdhry added that Nish feels “empowered” by this sudden opportunity to “tighten his hold on his family and all around him”.
“In his heart and his mind and his soul, he doesn’t want to die alone,” he explained. “He wants to die with his family around him, with the hope that somehow there is forgiveness and love, and also the chance to be close to Suki. So it presents a lot of opportunities for him.”
Teasing what twisted scheme Nish has in the works, Chowdhry added: “He’s got one massive trick up his sleeve that I don’t think anyone could expect.
“Nobody can see the hand he’s going to play, and no one can imagine what he has in store on Halloween night.”
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.
