I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t know. I think you just have to keep watching to see how it plays out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think maybe the longer it\u2019s drawn out the more drama there is and the better the reunion. So, yeah, but there\u2019s lots of stuff happening and going on, you know, sort of personally and together.\u201d\u200c<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, one of Suki\u2019s apparently solo stories is, of course, the build-up to the Christmas flash-forward alongside the other members of \u201cThe Six\u201d \u2013 Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth), Denise Fox (Diane Parish), and Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner).<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--aspect=\"\" style=\"&quot;padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\">

also Kheerat as well you know, Stacey and Kheerat were together for a bit\u2026and also Stacey is a single mum, you know. she\u2019s trying so hard to put food on the table and in the background so I think there\u2019s a mutual respect and appreciation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, I kind of I would like to gravitate to Kathy Beale as well because she\u2019d have this bond with the character and it\u2019d be nice to, you know, bring the bitch out in Suki.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Kathy may have her hands full with new frenemy Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) and their soon-to-be shared nemesis,
