EastEnders fans are discussing whether Suki Panesar should become the next landlady of The Queen Vic. Many viewers also feel that the character is the perfect choice to lead the iconic pub. Also, even her style gives a fresh take on the traditional matriarch role. Meanwhile, does this potential power move signal a new era for the Panesar family? Keep scrolling to learn more.
EastEnders: The Panesar Takeover?
Fans of the BBC soap highlight Suki’s business mind and her ability to lead. Many of them want her to become the next landlady of The Queen Vic. The Panesar matriarch has the necessary battle-axe energy. Hence, viewers compare her to legends like Peggy Mitchell. If we see her blunt personality, it has a unique contrast to the previous owners.
So, this change could breathe new life into the Square’s famous establishment. People only point out the reality of “Desi Pubs” in London. Others question if a Sikh character would run a drinking establishment. But one thing is for sure that Suki’s reputation for making logical business moves makes her a top candidate in fan theories.
However not everyone supports a Panesar takeover. Some viewers prefer seeing Sam Mitchell back behind the bar. Elsewhere, another group of people think that a completely new family should move into the pub to shake up the hierarchy. As we know, currently, Alife and Kat run the pub. However, feedback suggests that the two lack the spark of their earlier days.
Let’s Have A Look At What Fans Are Saying
A user wrote, “Does anyone else think Balvinder Sopal would be the perfect Landlady of The Queen Vic?? She has the stage presence, she’s a solid matriarch. She can be a battleaxe like Peggy was, but Suki’s icy and intrusive manner would make it fresh and new. Not trying to be a Peggy but still has what it takes to command and own what it takes to be a landlady.”
Another added, “Yes, please, the Punjabi Queen of the Vic.” A third shared, “Tfb Desi Pubs are a thing and it is usually Punjabis who win them as they are big on drinking booze (I think Vinny even states that his people love to drink)
Meanwhile, someone is against the idea, with one saying, “No, she’s a piece of shit and should be locked up (character, not actress) Another added, “Absolutely not. The atmosphere is bad enough in there at the moment with the Slaters shouting and snarling at anyone who dares to come in. It would be even worse with the Panesars in there. “
Continuing, the user wrote, “Suki doesn’t have the necessary warmth to be the landlady. And she doesn’t really ‘put on a show’ in the sense that Angie, Linda and Peggy did. She’s just cold, petty, and spiteful to everyone. If Suki ran the Vic, she’d drive all the customers out in about five minutes flat. I adore Balvinder Sopal, but Suki would be a terrible landlady.
