EastEnders fans in tears at Heather Peace’s heartbreakingly sad post as viewers say goodbye to Eve Unwin
EASTENDERS fans were left in tears after Heather Peace posted a sad tribute following her exit from the soap.
Last night’s episode of EastEnders saw Heather‘s character Eve Unwin narrowly escape death.
Nish Panesar had ordered his son Ravi Gulati to murder Eve after discovering her affair with his wife Suki.
Ravi dragged Eve to the woods to fulfil his father’s wishes but, after she begged to be let go, he warned her to leave Walford and never return.
Actress Heather, 48, has taken to Instagram to share a lengthy post marking the end of her time on EastEnders.
Sharing a sweet snap of her with Suki Panesar star Balvinder Sopal, she wrote: “The secret is out! Nish knows!
“I love this story & the time & care that’s been taken by all the team @bbceastenders
“Suki’s story has resonated with so many from what I’ve seen. The representation has meant a lot too through Eve presenting the way she does.
“So many thanks to the writers and producers for playing this story out in real time. It’s been a precious thing, certainly for me, having not seen a love story like this when I was growing up.
“I feel blessed to have worked alongside so many beautiful actors too who also care about story telling.”
Fans rushed to comment on the emotional post, with one writing: “Sat here crying like a baby. This representation is so important.”
Another said: “Love the scene, but I’m worried! We know Suki is still in it at Christmas. Don’t want anything bad to happen to Eve.”
And a third added: “Please tell me that you’re not leaving… This romance is just beginning.”
Heather joined the soap in 2021 and was introduced as Stacey Slater’s former prison cellmate.
