EastEnders Spoilers: Suki and Eve’s Adoption Dream Hits Major Roadblock as Eve’s Past Returns to Haunt Her
EastEnders fans are about to see Suki Panesar-Unwin and Eve Unwin embark on a heartfelt new chapter, as the couple begin their journey toward adopting a child. But next week’s episodes will prove that their path to parenthood is anything but smooth — and one devastating obstacle could derail everything.
A New Beginning for Suki and Eve
After months of heartbreak and turmoil, Suki (Balvinder Sopal) and Eve (Heather Peace) finally seem ready to build a future together. The loved-up pair take a huge step forward by meeting with adoptive parents, hoping to learn what life as a family could look like.
However, their first attempt at hosting a calm, respectable gathering quickly descends into chaos when the Panesars return from their family holiday. Ravi, Priya, and the kids burst back into Walford at the worst possible moment, creating mayhem in front of Suki and Eve’s guests.
“It’s far from the grown-up, professional meeting Suki wanted,” a show insider revealed. “But despite the chaos, they decide not to give up. They want this family more than anything.”
A Promising Start… Until Everything Changes
Undeterred, Suki and Eve press on with their plans and arrange an official meeting with an adoption agency. Despite the earlier disaster, the session goes surprisingly well — leaving the couple optimistic for the first time in weeks.
“The meeting with the agency is a huge success,” the insider shared. “This should be a cause for celebration. But then a new problem arises — and it’s all down to Eve’s past.”
Just as things are looking up, Eve learns that she must provide a personal reference from her mother — the same woman who has refused to speak to her for years.
The Painful Truth Behind Eve’s Family Rift
Eve’s relationship with her mother has always been fraught with tension and heartbreak. Not only does her mother blame Eve for her sister’s tragic death, but her deep-rooted homophobia has made reconciliation almost impossible.
Now, the entire adoption process hinges on a few supportive words from the very person who once disowned her.
“Eve is filled with panic when she realises everything depends on her mother’s approval,” our source explained. “This is a woman who has never accepted her, and Eve knows exactly how cruel her rejection can be. It’s a nightmare situation.”
A Test of Love and Strength
As Suki tries to stay strong for them both, the couple’s relationship is tested yet again. Suki is determined to prove that they can provide a stable, loving home — but the emotional toll of Eve’s family wounds threatens to unravel her partner completely.
With Ravi’s criminal secrets still bubbling under the surface and family loyalty on thin ice, the Panesars’ reputation could collapse at the very moment Suki and Eve need to appear united and secure.
Can Eve find the courage to confront her past — or will her mother’s prejudice destroy her dream of becoming a parent?
