ASH and Suki Panesar’s relationship has always been dysfunctional.
But things get heated once again, leaving the doctor ready to plot her exit from EastEnders.
After returning to Albert Square, Ash Panesar (portrayed by Gurlaine Kaur Garcha) is already planning to leave Walford and her family behind with another job offer in mind.
However, her mother Suki (Balvinder Sopal) could do whatever it takes to stop her from leaving, notably by ordering her to apply at the new GP surgery with Nina Gupta (Hersha Verity).
Coming up in the BBC One soap, Ash refuses to give in to her mother’s demand and tells her she’ll be moving to Canada.
Suki later meets with Nina regardless and both discuss the job for Ash – but she’s devastated when she learns Nina is dating Ranveer.

This only pushes Suki to want Ash to work at the surgery even more and, in a desperate move, tries to bribe her into applying for the GP job with a car.
Meanwhile, Ash is dealt with a huge blow when she finds out her job in Canada has fallen – the perfect opportunity for Suki to insist.
Later on, it seems Ash gives up the fight as she agrees she’ll apply for the job at the new GP surgery.
But things go from bad to worse for her when she realises scheming Suki has been through her emails and knows all about the job in Canada, leading her to believe her mother meddled in her life again.
Suki is furious and tells Ash she can’t reward her for lying and demands the car keys back, before telling her she’ll need to find her own job.
The pair exchange some harsh words with Ash sharing some harsh truths and storming out.
Suki rethinks and opens Ash’s laptop… But what will she do?
