EastEnders confirms fates after Nish's revenge plot in early iPlayer release
Who lived and who died after New Year's Day?
Warning: contains spoilers for EastEnders' 2nd January episode, airing on BBC iPlayer and BBC One.
After Nish Panesar (played by Navin Chowdhry) tried to get revenge on Suki (Balvinder Sopal) and Eve (Heather Peace), it seems he didn't win his final battle after all.
Last night, he took a tumble to the ground from they honeymoon suite balcony with Suki tied to him, and lay bleeding out on the floor while his ex Suki laid on top of him.
As today's episode started, frantically, Ravi realised by pushing Nish and trying to end the horror, he may have killed Suki, too.
He made his way down to the ground floor and saw the bloody scene as Vinny (Shiv Jalota) lay sobbing while Harvey (Ross Boatman) checked for pulses.
Thankfully, Suki was showing signs of life, albeit weak ones, but Nish was already dead.

Eve, meanwhile, was upstairs on the floor as Stacey (Lacey Turner) held her in her arms until the ambulance came.
Nugget (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury), Avani (Aaliyah James) and Priya (Sophie Khan Levy) met in the games room as Nugget revealed he'd been keeping Nish safe.
Avani couldn't hold back and said how many lives are now on the line as a result of Nugget's stupidity, but fierce mum Priya told them both to keep quiet - you don't grass on family, no matter what they've done.
Over at the hospital, Denise had woken up so she had escaped Nish once more, thankfully, but Eve and Suki weren't out of the woods yet.
Stacey was beside herself and called Martin (James Bye) for support - but she was rather put out when Ruby (Louisa Lytton) arrived, too...
Thankfully, Eve pulled through, too, with the doctors able to give her an antidote when they found the poison Nish used in the hotel room, making for a rare mistake from the villain.
Stacey was allowed in to see Eve eventually since she was now awake, and the friends shared an emotional hug.
At that time, Eve knew nothing about what had happened, and was stunned to discover that Nish was behind her poisoning.
She understood the severity of the situation immediately and insisted on seeing Suki, and was distraught to hear she had suffered a head trauma.
Ignoring the advice of doctors, Eve ran to Suki's room and clutched her wife's hand begging her to fight harder than she's ever fought before, just for one more time now Nish is dead.
Suki's eyes blinked open as the pair realised they were out of the woods, finally.
"We won," Suki whispered to her wife as the pair lay on the hospital bed together, with their whole future ahead of them.
But there's still the question of Ravi behind the happy ending, because after all, he killed Nish by pushing him - and almost killed Suki by accident.
Then, there's Nugget, who has been completely entangled in the crimes, too, by helping Nish evade the police.
Plus, Priya is now tied up in the cover-up to protect her son... Nish might be dead, but the drama surrounding the Panesars continues.
Is Suki dead?
No, thankfully Suki isn't dead on EastEnders. The hospital confirmed that while her injuries from the balcony fall were serious, they weren't as bad as they could've been as she landed on top of Nish which cushioned her fall.
Is Eve dead?
No, Eve isn't dead. It wasn't looking good for Eve for a while there. She was poisoned by Nish on her wedding night, and left for an awfully long time without medical assistance. Thankfully, the paramedics discovered the bottle containing the poison Nish had used and medical professionals were able to provide her with an antidote that saved her life.
Is Denise dead?
Denise isn't dead, either. Though she took a nasty whack to the head via a champagne bottle (in a similar fashion to how she clobbered Nish last Christmas), Denise pulled through. In conversation with his dad, Ravi discovered Denise was in trouble, and phoned Jack to help save her. If he didn't act so quickly, it could've been a different story all together...
Is Nish dead?
Yes, Nish is finally dead on EastEnders. Like a cat with nine lives, Nish has escaped death more times than he's escaped prison. The villain met his maker when he urged Ravi to push him off the balcony and in a cruel twist, took Suki with him. Nish landed on the floor and died very quickly due to loss of blood from his head before the medical professionals arrived on the scene.
