Triple wedding drama throws EastEnders’ Priya into a frenzy as big days loom
She’s got a lot going on
With not one, not two, but three EastEnders weddings on the horizon, it’s no wonder emotions are running high in certain corners of Walford at present.
Chuck into the mix the fact that one of the grooms and one of the brides have been having an affair, and you’ve got quite the recipe for fireworks.
And next week, Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan-Levy) is thrown into a frenzy as her lover Max Branning’s (Jake Wood) nuptials to Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins) loom.
As fans of the BBC soap know, Priya and Max have been secretly having it off for months now, but last week saw her accept a proposal from her old flame Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara).
But while the pair have reunited, Priya is hiding a whopper of a secret – she’s pregnant, and unsure whether Max or Ravi is the father.
With a ‘who’s the daddy?’ storyline currently unfolding, next week sees Ravi pushing Priya to tell their kids about their engagement.
Unsure it’s still too early, Priya later joins Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) and Chelsea Fox (Zaraah Abrahams) at The Albert, where they are planning Kim Fox (Tameka Empson) and Howie Danes’ (Delroy Atkinson) upcoming wedding. But before long, Cindy bribes them into helping to plan her wedding too.
A guilty Priya is suddenly overcome with nausea and steps outside, where she runs into Penny Branning (Kitty Castledine).
Priya opens up to Penny about her pregnancy, unaware that Penny is actually hiding a huge paternity bombshell of her own, and swears her to secrecy.
Later, Priya catches her son Nugget Gulati (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury) dealing weed, and as she scolds him, Max steps in to support her, and it’s evident there is still a spark between him and Priya.
Soon after, Priya decides it’s time to tell the kids about her and Ravi’s engagement, but she’s thrown when Ravi starts pressing her about the mystery man she was seeing during their time apart.
But it doesn’t take long for Ravi to get a major clue when he witnesses a charged moment between Priya and Max, spiking his suspicions.
Ravi then takes matters into his own hands as he becomes determined to prove his hunch, which likely spells danger for everyone involved…
Will Priya and Max be rumbled?
