It came after Avani slept with abusive incel Joel Marshall in the controversial storyline.
But things took a dark twist recently when Avani decided to have a termination and Suki tried to stop her.
And in a further bizarre twist, Suki, a mother of four already, decided she was desperate for another baby - specifically Avani's.
She has convinced Avani to have the baby and give it to her and wife Eve to raise it.
However, Eve doesn't know of Suki's plan and has not yet even agreed to change her mind about having children.
The entire storyline has seen viewers turn on Suki and call for her to be axed.
One wrote: 'Suki is just so vile right now.
'The worst she's ever been, which is such a terrible shame after she's been so excellent for the last few years.
'I was such a huge Suki stan until literally this last fortnight.'
A second said: '[EastEnders] is ruining Suki. I'd rather her be axed now than see this continue. So grim.'

Another added: 'You cannot defend Suki and say that her behaviour is 'in character' or a 'trauma response' when it's actually just bad writing and controversy for controversy's sake.'
A fourth commented: 'Years of character development erased in a fortnight. Time for Suki to go.'
Darkest soap storylines
Over the years the likes of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street have all tried to try outdo each other with their outlandish plots in a bid to keep us tuning in each week. But here are some of the darkest that had fans in shock...
EastEnders: Tony grooming Whitney (2008-2009) - Tony King first appeared in Albert Square in 2008 as the boyfriend of Bianca, played by Patsy Palmer. But it was quickly revealed he was a paedophile who had been grooming vulnerable Whitney, Bianca's adopted stepdaughter from a previous relationship, since she was 12. The shocking storyline attracted more than 200 complaints within a week of it beginning. Whitney waited until her 16th birthday to reveal the truth to a horrified Bianca, who called the police.
Emmerdale: Holly's drug addiction and shock death (2010-2016) - In 2010, Holly Barton (played by Sophie Powles) became Emmerdale's first teenage drug addict. The shocking storyline saw her taking cocaine on a night out before developing a deadly heroin habit. Parents John and Moira desperately tried to help get their daughter clean but when Holly returned in 2016, following a four-year absence, she quickly relapsed. Fans were left stunned and heartbroken when distraught Moira found Holly dead in her bed from a heroin overdose.
Hollyoaks: Luke's rape (2000) - Actor Gary Lucy was just 17 when he took on this groundbreaking storyline, which saw his character Luke Morgan become soap's first male rape victim. Luke had endured a long-running bullying campaign by football rival Mark Gibbs - who raped him after Luke stood up to him. Luke was left suicidal following the brutal attack, before opening up to his brother Adam. Gibbs was sentenced to eight years in prison. Gary won the Best Actor gong at the British Soap Awards in 2000 for his performance.
Coronation Street: Evil Richard Hillman (2001-2003) - Just a mere mention of 'Richard Hillman' is enough to send a shiver down the spines of soap fans. He is often ranked one of the most evil soap villains and it's not hard to see why. The smooth-talking financial adviser bashed his ex-wife Patricia over the head with a shovel. In a bid to keep his mother-in-law Audrey quiet, he set fire to her house. And when Maxine caught him trying to murder Emily Bishop, he took a crowbar to her head. He made his exit from the cobbles in 2003 when he drove Gail Platt, played by Helen Worth, and her family into the canal. They survived, but he didn't.

Snoop Dogg joined the ownership group last month, which also includes Croatian midfield great Luka Modric, who came on board in April. Sheehan emphasised that the celebrity involvement helps Swansea become more appealing commercially and build strong foundations for the future. The club is drawing comparisons to Wrexham, owned by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, with a docu-series about Swansea reportedly in development. Modric, who recently concluded his Real Madrid career, has actively contributed to Swansea's summer recruitment by speaking with potential new players.

Groove Armada's Andy Cato says farming needs to be 'cool'
Andy Cato, DJ and one half of electronic music group Groove Armada, has told the BBC he is doing his best to make farming "cool" as he promotes regenerative practices as the tenant of a National Trust the farm on the Wiltshire-Oxfordshire border he said: "We need to live in a world where farming and food is cool and aspirational."Cato's style of farming involves trying to reverse biodiversity loss while still growing food and making it economically said it has not come without problems, calling over a decade of farming in France prior to the current farm a "humbling" experience. "There are a lot of days when I think I'm just going to play records on the beach in Ibiza, someone else can sort this out"What keeps me going is that we have a solution here to so many of the existing problems that we face - from health, to climate, to biodiversity. Once you've seen its potential, you can't really walk away from it," he farming aims to reintroduce microbes, nutrients and carbon back into the way of doing this includes planting different crops side by side and also sewing "cover" crops, which protect the soil between harvests to retain organic content. The star's journey into farming started when he was coming back from a gig and was handed a leaflet discussing the modern food going down a "rabbit hole" Cato took a big risk - selling his music publishing rights and bought a farm in France."Everything went completely wrong - a very humbling experience. {It was} a decade and a half long, often a quite painful journey of experimentation."It left an indelible mark not only on how hard farming is, but how lonely it is," he said adding that there are big decisions to made with just one opportunity a year to "set your course". Cato has now created a group of regenerative farmers called explained there is often a thought that "if you want more nature, you need less food", but does not see that this has to be case."We live in a world where it's a £7 pint and a £1 loaf - why are we valuing those things so differently?" Despite the challenges, Cato said: "There's no more fulfilling, exciting or intellectually challenging way to spend your time than combining nature and food production."That is after he has spent much of his life "standing on some of the worlds biggest stages and having a great time".
