But, feeling the pressure of Nish\u2019s controlling ways, Suki couldn\u2019t bear the idea of clipping her daughter\u2019s wings \u2013 so she ensured that Ash took the job by deliberately baiting her.<\/p>\n<p>Nish <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/soaps\/eastenders\/eastenders-nish-threatens-suki-newsupdate\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">worked out her plan and threatened her<\/a>, leaving Suki feeling trapped. And as the BBC soap returned, Nish tried to convince Ash to stay as she was packing to leave, wanting her close by as it hadn\u2019t been long since he was released from prison. As an uneasy Suki walked in, Ash was still upset over her words the day before.<\/p> <p>Later, after saying her goodbyes to nurse and colleague Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy), Ash had a chat with Eve, complaining over her mum\u2019s behaviour. But as Eve gently pointed out that Suki only wanted to look out for her, and Ash wished she could talk more openly with her mum, Eve added that there was no time like the present to give this a try.<\/p>\n<p>So Ash went to see Suki, and explained how all she had ever wanted was her mum\u2019s support, back when she came out as bisexual and again now as she planned to fly the nest. Suki told Ash that she was indeed proud of her, referencing her own lack of freedom before urging her daughter not to worry about her.<\/p>\n<p>This led Ash to seek out Nish, explaining that she couldn\u2019t put her life on hold to make up for lost time with him. She then urged him to give Suki more responsibilities with the businesses she had built up herself, as she wasn\u2019t going to remain happy playing wife at home.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--aspect=\"\" style=\"&quot;padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\"> <picture><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/02\/420457-be0db94.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=299%2C199,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/02\/420457-be0db94.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=299%2C199,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/02\/420457-be0db94.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=354%2C236,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/02\/420457-be0db94.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=354%2C236,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/02\/420457-be0db94.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=404%2C269,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/02\/420457-be0db94.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=404%2C269,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/02\/420457-be0db94.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=554%2C369,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/02\/420457-be0db94.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=554%2C369,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/02\/420457-be0db94.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/02\/420457-be0db94.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/02\/420457-be0db94.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=407%2C271,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/02\/420457-be0db94.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=407%2C271,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/02\/420457-be0db94.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=555%2C370,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/02\/420457-be0db94.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=555%2C370,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><img class=\"&quot;wp-image-1792384\" align=\"\" size-landscape_thumbnail=\"\" image-handler__image=\"\" image-handler__image--aspect=\"\" no-wrap=\"\" js-lazyload=\"\" data-src=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/02\/420457-be0db94.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413&quot;\" width=\"&quot;620&quot;\" height=\"&quot;413&quot;\" alt=\"&quot;&quot;\" title=\"&quot;&quot;\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div><div class=\"&quot;caption-hold&quot;\"><figcaption class=\"&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;\"><span class=\"&quot;caption-copy&quot;\"><i class=\"&quot;icon-arrow\" icon-camera-circle=\"\"\/> Heather Peace as Eve Unwin and Balvinder Sopal as Suki Kaur Panesar in EastEnders.<\/span><\/figcaption><span class=\"&quot;im-image-caption&quot;\"\/><\/div>\n<p>This soon paid off, as when the family gathered to bid Ash farewell, Nish pointed to another packed suitcase and informed Suki that she was off to Leeds for some meetings.<\/p>\n<p>Oblivious over her connection to Eve, Nish revealed he had asked her to join Suki.
