Suki gives Iqra a warm welcome
BUT IS SHE REALLY ACCEPTING OF DAUGHTER ASH’S GIRLFRIEND?
The Panesars’ overbearing mum comes face to face with daughter Ash and her girlfriend Iqra this week, as they attend Suki’s birthday meal. But given Suki’s strict religious views
on same-sex relationships, how will the evening pan out?
Suki has only recently arrived in Walford, and it’s clear that there’s a lot of bad blood between her and Ash. However, it looks as though the older woman is planning to make a fresh start when she organises a family meal to celebrate her birthday…
“There’s been a lot of ill feeling between Ash and the rest of her family ever since she had an abortion when she was 19,” our Eastenders sneak reminds us. “And that’s only been made worse by the fact that Ash has been reluctant to visit Suki since she moved out. But now Suki is living in Walford, could the pair finally put their differences behind them?”
When Vinny tells Ash about the birthday meal, he’s pleased that his sister is willing to come – yet he’s dismayed after her girlfriend Iqra invites herself along to the bash too. However, Ash makes it clear that her family will have to get used to the fact that she and Iqra come as a pair!
“Vinny thinks that Ash is only trying to cause trouble, as he just wants her to try to keep the peace in front of their mum,” sighs our mole. “He fears that the party will have a very frosty atmosphere if Ash insists on parading her girlfriend in front of Suki. But Ash and Iqra are adamant that they aren’t going to hide the truth, and you can’t blame them for that.”

Vinny and Jags are stunned when Suki greets Ash and
It’s clear Suki is a calculating woman – she’s scheming, and certainly not to be trusted…”
