A huge secret threatens Suki and Eve's relationship in Tuesday's episode of EastEnders (7:30 pm. See our TV Guide for full listings).

Knowing that it would devastate Eve if she knew the truth, Suki begs her family to keep quiet about her and Nish’s blessing so she can tell Eve herself. But if Suki was hoping that she could explain her way out of what has happened without letting on she has been keeping what happened the night Keanu died a secret, she is very much mistaken. 

As the family sits down for dinner it isn't long before Avani blows the secret, leaving Eve reeling that her girlfriend has been getting cosy with her evil ex-husband while she has been away. Of course, Eve doesn't know why Suki was forced to play happy families with Nish and doesn’t buy Suki’s attempts to explain herself. 

Needing space to get her head around what she has discovered, Eve heads to The Vic, but things are about to get a whole lot worse.
