How did Suki kick off Jags' exit storyline?
EastEnders viewers know that the Panesar family are still in the middle of a cover-up operation after Vinny attacked Martin Fowler last month.
Last night's episode of the soap saw Suki frame Jags for the crime after he revealed his relationship with Habiba to the family.
Heading the the police station, a seething Suki handed Jags’ bloodied jeans over to the police and told them he was wearing them on the day of Martin’s attack.
Fans were stunned at Suki's brutal betrayal.
One viewer tweeted: "Suki is such a piece of sh*t. Poor Jags."
Another added: "Suki is evil but I kind of love her! Poor Jags though."
A third viewer said: "So... Obviously Suki has shopped Jags instead of Vinny to the police... I'm interested to see how #EastEnders will play this out considering the fact the brothers are CLEARLY two different clothes sizes."
How will Jags leave EastEnders?
With Suki having thrown Jags under the bus, it seems unlikely he’ll be running off into the sunset with Habiba.
Might he end up doing a stint in prison or a runner?
With EastEnders keeping exact plot details hidden, viewers will have to tune in to find out.
Speaking about his character’s exit storyline, actor Amar Adatia said: "I can't share too much about what happens but it serves to further prove just how far Suki will go to get her way!"
He added: "Jags went against her and being the strong women she is, just like their father in the past, anyone that goes against her doesn't tend to fare so well."
Why is Amar Adatia leaving the soap?
Actor Amar Adatia is leaving the soap to pursue other projects.
Speaking about his latest Hollywood project, he said: "I make films, so I've held out on my newest film until I finished at EastEnders because it's difficult to promote it whilst filming at the same time and with the pandemic everything has been pushed back timings wise.
"It’s called R.I.A which is a sci-fi film with Luke Goss, Dean Cain and myself and many other names - we shot it all in America just before I got the EastEnders gig actually.
"I'll hopefully be doing a tour for that with premiere's at the end of the year. I start shooting a whodunnit film in January, with some amazing names.
"I also have a boxing film that I'm making in summer next year so I'm working on getting in shape for that - the opposite of Jags! I'm looking forward to it and getting into training."
Amar confirmed that he has filmed his final scenes after extending his original contract due to the pandemic: "I always knew I’d only be in the show for a set period of time when I signed up.
"I had just finished shooting a film and had prior commitments to promote that but then the pandemic hit and everything understandably got put on hold.
"With timings all pushed back, I was more than happy stay a little bit longer to make sure that we wrapped up Jags’ storyline properly.
"I was really lucky to have those extra months of filming and to spend time with everyone on set before I said goodbye."
