EastEnders stars share huge plot twist - insisting 'there's a lot more' to character's death than fans think

ok.co.uk:

It's been a dramatic few weeks with the Panesar family on EastEnders - fans recently watched as the villainous Nish (Navin Chowdhry) was rushed to hospital and his family learnt that he had just weeks left to live due to a debilitating health condition.

With Nish unlikely to receive a heart transplant, which he needs after being diagnosed with viral myocarditis, the soap icon is reportedly set for an 'explosive exit' - or is he?

EastEnders stars Sophie Khan Levy and Shiv Jalota aren't too sure that we'll see the last of Nish Panesar despite his terminal diagnosis, with the actors teasing a major storyline to come.

Speaking to OK! in an exclusive chat at the Inside Soap Awards on Monday 30 September, Sophie - who plays Nish's ex-daughter-in-law and one-time lover - revealed that he could "come back from anything". "Nish has a terminal illness but it's Nish Panesar so I feel like you should ever feel like you're totally safe with Nish," she siad. "He's so full of rage and vengeance, I'm sure he could come back from anything." Shiv, who plays Nish's son Vinny, added: "He's pivotal to the Panesar storyline, the villain of the show at the moment - one of the villains - he's always the shadow in the background and there's a lot more to see.
