In a landmark moment for the long-running soap opera, Suki Panesar and Eve Unwin exchanged vows, marking the first same-sex marriage in EastEnders history.
Tonight’s episode of EastEnders was one for the history books, as Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) and Eve Unwin (Heather Peace) became the first lesbian couple ever to tie the knot in the BBC soap. During the first episode of the year that will see the London-based soap celebrate 40 years on our screens, Suki and Eve were finally able to call themselves wives – and what a journey they’ve been on up to this point.
Their love story began in 2022 when the women went from enemies to lovers over several months, but their budding romance was brought to an abrupt end when Suki’s husband Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) was released from prison. However, it soon became clear to both of them that they wouldn’t be able to live without each other, so Suki and Eve picked up where they left off, secretly seeing each other without Nish knowing. As their relationship went on, they faced plenty of obstacles, with Suki’s marriage to abusive Nish casting a dark shadow over both of their lives. Over a year after their first kiss, Suki found the courage to leave Nish for Eve, having reached a point in her journey where she was able to accept her sexuality and be proud of who she really was
