EastEnders fans fume over Suki Panesar's 'outrageous' comments to pregnant teen Avani
It was another eventful day on Albert Square as Kat Slater took over as landlady Queen Vic. The Square held a huge celebration to welcome her back - but one person who wasn't in a celebratory mood was Suki Panesar.
Earlier this week, we saw Suki learn that her teenage granddaughter Avani had fallen pregnant after walking in on her researching abortions on her laptop. Although Avani was adamant she didn't want to keep the baby, Suki sat her down and asked her to consider other options, such as adoption.
In tonight's episode, Suki went to seek advice from a Granthi - who told her the only thing she could do was support her grandchild. However, when Suki got home, she had an outrageous suggestion for Avani - which left fans fuming.
"Avani, I can't support your decision," Suki said, but a frustrated Avani told Suki she couldn't change her mind. "I will help you every step of the way Avani," she said as she followed her into the living room.
"I can't OK?! I just cant. I'm not ready to raise a child," Avani responded. "I'm not ready to be a mum! OK?"
A desperate Suki then responded: "Well maybe you don't have to be. You have the baby.. but you don't have to raise it." Avani was then left puzzled, adamant she wouldn't be letting "some stranger" raise her kid.
Suki then clarified: "No, not a stranger. Me. I'll do it. I'll raise your child. As my own." Suki was left in tears - but fans on the other hand were left fuming as they took to Reddit to discuss.
"Suki not clearly thinking at all today. Not once did she think about Avani and what she's asking of her. Not once did she contemplate talking to her wife. Does Eve even want kids? I love Suki as a character but he judgement calls can be absolutely crazy sometimes."
"Are they trying to make us hate Suki again? # Eastenders," questioned another fan on X, formerly known as Twitter. "60 year old suki begging her newly 16 year old granddaughter to not have an abortion just so she can raise the baby… yeah i hate this #eastenders," another agreed.
"Suki annoyed me so much today, how are you basically forcing a SIXTEEN YEAR OLD to keep her baby, just for your own benefit??? Avani deserves so much better #EastEnders," said a third, "she's quite literally pressuring this poor young girl how disgusting #eastenders," another angry fan said.
