The BBC One soap has seen the complicated matriarch Suki Panesar-Unwin (Sopal) pursuing an adoption with her wife and soulmate, Eve Panesar-Unwin (Heather Peace), as they hope to become parents together after a rather troubling attempt by Suki to get a child from her pregnant teenage step-granddaughter Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James) last year.
Speaking at The Radio Times Covers Party 2026, Balvinder was asked about the storyline and working with co-star Heather Peace for so long now.
Balvinder said, "I mean, look, Heather and I have a brilliant relationship. We've worked together for, I think, three years now, three and a bit years. And each time, you know, we come on set, I think we find little moments that deepen the relationship between Suki and Eve, and that's really important, because I think sometimes relationships can get a bit boring or a bit samey, samey. So, we're trying to find the light and shade between the two of them, and what better way to do that than to throw in an adoption story? (laughs)."
Given we know very little about Suki's own family life growing up, could this be an opportunity to discover more about her upbringing?
"And I think also, you know, we've only ever seen Suki through the eyes of lots of other people... so Nish, her children, Eve, the neighbour's wife [Ayesha, played by Laila Rouass], you know? It's nice, hopefully, to introduce other people...who knows?"
