Yahoo News EastEnders airs emotional reunion for Suki in early iPlayer release
EastEnders spoilers follow for Monday's episode (August 5) which is available to watch now on streaming service BBC iPlayer and hasn't yet aired on TV.
EastEnders has aired an emotional reunion for Suki Panesar in the show's latest episode.
Last week, viewers saw Nish find out about Suki and Vinny's betrayal so he came up with a new plan to get revenge – enlisting Avani to help track down Ayesha, an old friend of his and Suki's.
In today's episode, which airs on BBC Two tonight, Nish rewarded his granddaughter for her efforts with cash. He also told Ravi that he wanted to make amends with people in the time he has left.

Meanwhile, Eve warned Suki and Vinny that their scheme is too risky, but they were convinced that he still doesn't know about their double cross.
Ravi revealed to Nish that Suki and Vinny had made a lunch reservation at the restaurant, and after Ayesha confirmed she was coming, he had an idea.
As the pair discussed their tactics, Nish showed up, and shortly after Ayesha arrived – to Suki's complete shock.
For context, Ayesha is the widow of Hardeep, the man who Nish killed more than two decades ago when he believed he and Suki were having an affair – although it was Ayesha she actually had feelings for.

Ayesha was still furious with Nish and Suki and stormed off, but Suki followed and told her that she wasn't involved in Nish's scheme as they were now divorced.
Back at the house, Suki and Ayesha had an emotional chat, and Suki admitted that she had let Nish think she was involved with Hardeep, blaming herself for his death.
Ayesha revealed that Suki's feelings were reciprocated and she had always known she was gay, gaining the courage to come out after Hardeep's death.
The pair found common ground as Ayesha refused to have sympathy for Nish and they confronted him together, leaving him disappointed that his plan had failed.

Suki asked Ayesha to stick around and they met up with Eve for a drink in The Vic, but there was a familiarity between the former friends that unnerved Eve.
Nish arrived and planted a seed of doubt in Eve's mind about Suki and Ayesha's connection, telling her that she had come out as gay.
"I guess you could say that she was Suki's first love," he said. "I just hope it's not a problem for you."
As Eve watched Suki and Ayesha reconnect, how will she react?
EastEnders airs on Mondays - Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast.
