Two families are rocked to the core in EastEnders next week, with the Panesar brood stunned to discover Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) is dying and the Beales reeling from Cindy Beale’s (Michelle Collins) betrayal.
As Nish returns, he is unwelcome with his family, and when he claims to be dying they don’t believe him.
But it soon becomes clear that he is telling the truth for once – which leaves more than one relative conflicted.
Meanwhile, when Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) discovers that Cindy cheated with George Knight (Colin Salmon), is this the end for them?
