EastEnders: Heather Finished Eve And Suki’s Story After Her Diagnosis
Heather Peace got her breast cancer diagnosis last October. She could have taken time away. But she did not. She stayed and kept filming. At the time, she was shooting the final part of Eve and Suki’s story, the lead-up to their wedding and Nish’s dramatic fall. For Heather, walking away was not an option, and this ending mattered.
Her Walford bosses told her she did not need to be there and that they would understand. But Heather had already made up her mind. She had lived that story for years. Walking away before the end? That did not sit right with her.
