EastEnders confirms casting for Eve Panesar-Unwin's estranged mother Norma as we finally meet her for new storyline ...Middle East

As viewers will recall, Eve has something of an estranged relationship with her mother following a troubled upbringing.

Her mother and aunt joined in with the tirade of homophobic abuse and she decided to cut ties with the family at the age of 19.

In more recent years she's plucked up the bravery to visit them and try to make amends – though told wife Suki (Balvinder Sopal) of their reservations about their marriage and they failed to attend their ceremony last year.

Now that the two are about to begin their adoption journey, Eve's mum Norma is about to stroll into Walford. She will be portrayed by actress Jessica Turner.

Soap fans may recognise her from roles in Doctors, The Bill and Heartbeat. Jessica has also starred in '80s comedy Terry and June, Prime Suspect, Midsomer Murders and Law and Order: UK.

To their surprise, Norma agrees, and the couple do their best to impress her and show that they will make great parents. After all, this was Suki's idea, and Eve knows that her mum has the ability to jeopardise everything.

This is enough for Eve to have second thoughts, and she tells Suki that she doesn't want to go ahead with the plan. Suki is naturally devastated, and turns to an unlikely source for some help – Lily Slater (Lillia Turner).
