EastEnders: Ash’s Engagement News Leaves Walford Shocked
On the June 30 show, Eve Unwin noticed something unexpected on social media: Ash is engaged now. The ex-Walford physician has been settling in Canada after departing Albert Square, and it appears her new life is all about transformations. The engagement was unexpected to Suki, who was not too secretive about her sentiments when Eve shared the news. “Good luck to her,” Suki icily replied.
She also reminded Eve that Ash had made it clear to her that she didn’t care about her anymore and went so far as to insult Ash’s fiancé by saying he was “old enough to be her mom.” The friction between the daughter and mother still exists.
Life Imitates Art For Actress Gurlaine Kaur Garcha
In a charming twist, the engagement news isn’t limited to Ash’s character. Off-screen, actor Gurlaine Kaur Garcha posted her joyful news earlier this month. Sharing on Instagram on June 17, she said she is “all smiles and very engaged” in real life. Her co-stars quickly said congrats. Suki actress Balvinder Sopal wrote: “Oh my days!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS, BABY.”
Garcha acted as Ash for almost four years until she departed in March 2023. When she left the soap, she stated: “That’s a wrap on Ash, for now… Hopefully it’s not goodbye forever.” Now, fans are wondering, will she come back to the Square?
