EastEnders favourites Penny and Vinny might have weathered the Suki-shaped storm this week, putting Vinny’s mum in her place when she tried to split them up.

However, next week sees heartbreak hit the couple when a huge secret is revealed that threatens everything.

Vinny commits to Penny and their baby

Today’s EastEnders saw Penny struggling with the idea that Vinny had put a deposit down on a shop for her. Despite always dreaming of having her own store, Penny wondered if it was too much, too soon.

Gina didn’t help, telling Penny that Vinny’s eagerness to please was a big red flag in their relationship. However, Harry was surprisingly the voice of reason and told Penny that she might be reluctant to accept Vinny’s grand gesture because she was scared the shop would not be a success.

Realising that she needed to embrace things that scared her, Penny told Vinny that she would like to go ahead with the shop purchase. But what Vinny hadn’t told her was that they would need Suki to sign on the dotted line to release some cash from the Panesar empire.
