Suki and Eve Panesar-Unwin (Balvinder Sopal and Heather Peace) made history when they became EastEnders’ first lesbian couple to tie the knot, but their story is far from over.
Having spent over a year enjoying married life, Suki and Eve are keen to expand their family. And now, with new casting for the BBC soap having been announced, fans think a new addition is just around the corner.
The couple are currently on a journey to adopt a child – though they are set to face obstacles next week as they appear in front of the adoption panel.
It’s a tough week emotionally for Suki as she faces hostility from son Vinny Panesar (Shiv Jalota), who confronts her for not caring about the anniversary of Jags Panesar’s death.
Fortunately, they later have a heartfelt discussion and patch things up, but when the adoption panel ask Suki about her other children, she becomes overwhelmed and flees the meeting.
However, all may not be lost, as she later receives a call from the adoption officer. Will it be good news?
Fans seem to think so.
Taking to Twitter/X, they speculated that young actress Aaria, who is set to play a new regular character called Aisha, could be Suki and Eve’s daughter.
Talent agency TTA Kids shared an announcement post on Instagram, revealing that Aaria would be appearing on the show from June 22.
‘Welcome to Albert Square Aaria!’ They added.
Bo echoed the announcement, sharing the post on Twitter/X, and received replies from other EastEnders fans sharing their theories.

While some viewers speculated that Aisha could be Suki and Eve’s adopted daughter, others wondered if they may foster her to begin with.
There were also comments on the original post asking for more details on the new character, with one fan asking: ‘Is she gonna be suki and eves kid?’
‘Ooo is she going to be the child that Suki and Eve look after?’ Another asked.
The excitement from fans in the quotes of the Twitter/X post was palpable, with many using full caps to express their joy at the possibility of Suki and Eve becoming ‘girl mums’.
It has not yet been confirmed what the outcome of Suki and Eve’s adoption hearing will be, but the timing of this casting certainly supports the fan theory that Aisha could be the newest addition to the Panesar-Unwin household.
However, as is the norm in EastEnders, there will be further obstacles ahead for Suki and Eve, when Eve ends up lashing out at Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington) the day after the hearing.
When Nicola makes negative comments about Suki, an emotional and drunk Eve snaps.
Will this affect their chances of becoming parents?
