‘Missing' EastEnders star suddenly reappears after over two months
Vinny Panesar (Shiv Jalota) has made a surprise return to EastEnders after a 10 week absence. The character was seen in the family kitchen during last night's episode, helping Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy), Suki and Eve Panesar-Unwin (Balvinder Sopal and Heather Peace) prepare a meal. Priya was hoping that it would help build a bridge with daughter Avani (Aaliyah James), who was devastated after learning her complaint against the police officers that strip searched her had been dropped. As Vinny stood cutting the carrots, soap fans took to social media to express their surprise at seeing him after such a long break. One fan exclaimed: 'Vinny sighting!!! Hello, my son!', which followed an earlier tweet reading: 'Another episode of me wondering where Vinny is. Does he even live at no. 41 anymore, i see ravi there more than him!!' 'Is that Vinny standing in the background? Forgot about his existence!' said another. A third added: 'OMG VINNY IS BACK!' 'Treated to a Vinny appearance in EastEnders today,' said a fourth: 'After being absent for weeks on end, he very obviously appeared in this episode especially for me as a birthday treat.' The last time we saw him on our screens was during the show's 40th anniversary celebrations in February. Poor Vin' was one of the many residents stuck inside of The Queen Vic when it exploded. Amid the destruction, Martin Fowler (James Bye) lost his life, with everyone else exiting through a window or via the barrel store. Prior to that, Vinny was at the centre of a huge storyline, following the downfall of his father Nish (Navin Chowdhry). Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?

How a local doctor and a ‘life-changing' class are helping people lead healthy lives
DES MOINES, Iowa — Metabolic dysfunction may be the most serious condition you've never heard of, and one in three Americans have it. That's the bad news. The good news is preventing it is actually pretty simple. 'We have made it way too complicated,' says Dr. Andy Nish. 'And why is that? Because we're always trying to sell something, right?' Nish has been practicing medicine for nearly 40 years, but it wasn't until he was more than two decades into his career that he started studying nutrition, stress and sleep, all because of the alarming increase in cancer rates. Now, he's teaching a class called 'Aspire' in an effort to help people help themselves. 'It's not about just food. It's not just about movement. It's not just about, you know, what's in our food system,' he explains, 'It's about this concept called the exposome. And the exposome is everything we are exposed to from the time of birth till the time of death.' Annie McCormick was in the pilot class two years ago. 'I knew I needed it,' she says. 'I'm diabetic and at that point I was a bad diabetic and I needed help.' She's been to every class since. 'Well, you learn something new in every class, or it's said a little bit different than it was said in the first class. So, you're going, 'Oh, yeah.' You know, the light bulb will go off.' Dr. Nish explains what healthy aging is and how we can achieve it Tim McCoy loves seeing those light bulb moments. He's the reason the Aspire class exists. 'I thought, well, hey, could you come and be the medical director for this new thing? We didn't have a name at the time. Yeah. So that was two and a half, almost two and a half years ago. ' Heather Charlson has also been there from the beginning. 'Oh, I've learned that it's more than just what people think it is, whether it's just nutrition and exercise. There's so many more things that go into it, whether it's your sleep quality, dealing with stress management or relationships.' Big picture – that's called 'metabolic health' and many things can impact it. Metabolic dysfunction is when at least three of these symptoms are present — increased waist size, elevated blood triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, high blood pressure, and elevated blood sugar. Those things increase the risk of having cardiovascular disease, diabetes, liver disease, kidney disease, and sleep apnea. Those conditions increase your risk of dying. That's why new participants start the class with specific screenings. 'And as I explain to people, that blood test is not the end all, be all. We're not trying to change a blood test,' explains Dr. Nish, 'we're trying to change how you feel. How do you feel emotionally? How's your energy level?' The blood test may not tell the whole story, but it's definitely part of it. Annie lowered her A1C from eleven down to five, just one indicator of better health. 'When people are suffering, it's just it's very rewarding to see,' says Tim McCoy, 'changing lives, that's what it's about.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

EastEnders' Danny Walters secretly welcomes first child with his partner and reveals her sweet name - after quitting BBC soap as Keanu Taylor
Danny Walters has revealed he has secretly welcomed his first child with long term partner Maddi. The EastEnders star shared the happy news that the couple have welcomed a baby girl last month on Wednesday. Sharing a sweet black and white photo, Danny revealed they have called their bundle of joy Autumn. He wrote: 'One month with you, Autumn. Born March '25'. Danny's followers including his former BBC co-stars were quick to congratulate the actor on the surprise news. 'Ah wow! Congrats to you all Danny; Congrats darling…; Awww congratulations; Awww congratulations to you both; congratulations beautiful name xx'. Danny is best known for playing Keanu Taylor in the BBC One soap before being killed off during the dramatic Christmas 2023 storyline. EastEnders made history in an episode back in February that year when they teased a murder in a flash forward, but kept the identities of the corpse and the killer a huge secret. After ten nail-biting months of speculation, viewers finally found out which character was murdered in the episode. Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) was killed after he was stabbed and Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) was attacked as The Six storyline reached a climax. Six of Walford's matriarchs; Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), Suki Kaur Panesar (Balvinder Sopal), Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), Denise Fox (Diane Parish) and Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth), found themselves embroiled in a series of events that led to Keanu's demise. The six women have all been wronged by the men in their life, which really kept EastEnders fans guessing throughout the year who the victim and murderer were. Several men had been teased as the potential victim in addition to Keanu and Nish before Christmas, with Jack Branning (Scott Maslen), Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden), Tom 'Rocky' Cotton (Brian Conley), Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo) and Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) involved. The festive episode came to an explosive conclusion as Denise was seen hitting Nish over the head with a bottle as she tried to defend his wife Suki from his abuse. Danny's followers including his former BBC co-stars were quick to congratulate the actor on the surprise news. Though Nish first appeared to be dead, not everything was as it seemed, but shortly after, Keanu burst into the Queen Victoria pub and saw Nish's body. He became embroiled in a fight with Sharon after their wedding was called off when his attempted kidnap of her son Albie was revealed. When Sharon told Keanu she would send him to prison over his attempted kidnap of Albie if he did not remain tight-lipped about Nish's alleged death, the groom lunged towards her, in an attempt to strangle her to death. In a very unexpected twist, Linda then grabbed a knife and stabbed Keanu in the back in a bid to save Sharon's life. Suki performed CPR on Nish and managed to get him breathing again before running to tell the others he was alive and discovering Keanu dead on the floor. The six Walford women banded together to wrap Keanu's body up in a tarpaulin and heavy duty tape before lugging him off to be buried under the floorboards of the burned out cafe. They also conjured up a story about Keanu holding them at knife point in the Queen Vic and blamed him for hitting Nish over the head.

Riffing on anxiety, death and Elon Musk, this comic takes no prisoners
Nish Kumar: Nish, Don't Kill My Vibe ★★★★ Factory Theatre, April 22. Until April 24. Reviewed by DANIEL HERBORN Midway through his Sydney Comedy Festival show, British comic Nish Kumar outlines the topics he's about to cover: anxiety, death and rage. No wonder someone recently told him he should try more relatable material, like riffing on the contents of his fridge. He'd already rattled through a litany of injustice and nonsense, from billionaire biohacker Bryan Johnson – who injects himself with his teenage son's blood in a bid to live forever – to his deep frustration at being told he should be 'pleased about the representation' of having a fellow British Indian, conservative Rishi Sunak, in power. The 39-year-old Kumar seems so energised by white-hot rage that he barely pauses for breath. The breakneck style makes for an urgent and wide-ranging excoriation of powerful individuals demonising minorities for their own gain. Crucially, though, Kumar doesn't settle for making right-on points but draws consistent belly laughs with his furious monologues, aided by vividly grotesque descriptions of his foes – from Elon Musk to his transphobic comedy peers – and his knack for unexpected but spot-on analogies. In the second half of the hour, he turns his focus inwards, giving a potentially one- note show some much-needed light and shade. 'I'm like this all the time,' he says of his exasperated state, reflecting on how exhausting being constantly outraged is and how it both drives and results from his anxiety. Loading
