EastEnders star teases "unreal" Panesar storyline
A big twist lies ahead for Vinny as Suki and Eve plan to leave Walford.
Shiv Jalota has teased a jaw-dropping storyline ahead for his character Vinny and the rest of the Panesars on EastEnders.
In upcoming scenes, Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) and Eve Unwin (Heather Peace) are determined to send Suki's abusive husband Nish (Navin Chowdhry) to jail so they can finally have a fresh start together.
They gather information on Nish's latest dodgy deal and report him to the police, but things go awry when Nish comes home and accuses their son Vinny of grassing him up.
It's an unexpected turn of events, as Jalota, who plays Vinny, told press including RadioTimes.com.
"I remember I actually emailed [executive producer] Chris Clenshaw and said, 'These [scripts] are unreal!'," the actor explained.

"I think I was on a bit of a high because there was just so much drama within this story.
"It was mega excitement to have a play with the script. I was quite nervous in terms of the storytelling but I was also so excited to get started and unpick the scripts."
Before Nish gets back home from the deal, Vinny has an emotional moment with his mum Suki, unaware that she is leaving Walford behind.
"Her main point here to Vinny is to stress that he's enough as he is and to stop trying to be a person that Nish wants him to be," Jalota said.
"He's different from his other siblings and family members so she just wants him to be his own man."
