ASH and Suki Panesar's relationship takes a nasty turn as the former is informed of her mother's betrayal.
The owner of Minute Mart, played by Balvinder Sopal, has become one of the most ruthless and calculating villains on EastEnders.
Already at odds with her son Kheerat after he gave the Slaters their money back, considering it to be a "smart move", Suki will see her bond with daughter Ash loosen.
Earlier in 2021, Suki crossed a line when she had a one-night-stand with Peter Beale, played by Dayle Hudson.
The latter was then pining for Ash's attention, trying to convince her to give him a chance romantically.

After being relentlessly pursued, Ash (Gurlaine Garcha) agreed to go on a date with Peter, unaware of his past with her mother as neither him nor Suki have mentioned it to her.
In an awkward scene, Suki then walked in on Peter as he was in the process of stripping off in Ash's flat.
As time went on, the personal trainer quickly realised that Suki is not a woman to be trifled with while his relationship with Ash goes through its own share of struggles.

Trouble in paradise began after Ash was suspended from her job as a doctor after administering morphine to Peter.
During weeks that followed, they appeared to be in a better place but things changed just as quickly as they had improved.
In July, 2021, Peter did not prove himself to be the most supportive as Ash was grieving the death of her brother Jags.
Peter ignored Ash's calls and messages, telling Kathy and Bobby that he couldn't handle being anywhere near her family.
He soon regretted his choice.
Meanwhile, Suki tried to save her daughter's career with her efforts not always being appreciated or even recognised by Ash.
But in an upcoming EastEnders episode, due to air on BBC One ahead of the New Year, and after a budding friendship and romance with Honey Mitchell turned sour, Suki will get her due following her betrayal.
Suki may have thought she got away scot free with her fling with Peter, yet as she is sharing a drink with her daughter at The Vic, a comment made by another character will leave Ash devastated.
Out of all characters, Ash will be able to count on Heather Peace's Even Unwin to let the cat out of the bag, despite ongoing tension between the two women.
But how will the doctor react to the revelation? Could Eve be in danger after revealing Suki's, a cunning schemer, secret?
