Vinny Panesar (Shiv Jalota) is to try and get his hands on more of his dastardly dad Nish’s (Navin Chowdhry) cash in EastEnders next week.
As viewers of the BBC One soap know, Nish returned to back into the fold earlier this year and revealed he is terminally ill and has months to live.
After being rejected by his family, he turned spiteful and sold the Bridge Street Cafe back to former owner Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) for £1, with everything else going to the Gurdwara.
In retaliation, Vinny, alongside mum Suki (Balvinder Sopal), have launched a plan to get their hands back on his cash – and it involves being incredibly nice to him.
Nish’s other son Ravi (Aaron Thiara) seemed to be the only one who seemed genuinely sorry for his dad, and Vinny new he had to take drastic action to up the charm offensive and get on the right side of him.
In upcoming scenes, Nish is showered with attention from his two sons when he brings up a new business venture he has planned.
Vinny, knowing this could benefit his plot, decides to try and weigh in – but Nish quickly side-lines him.
Suki urges Vinny to continue trying to earn Nish’s respect, and he decides to gate-crash his dad’s meeting at Walford East to charm the new client. However, Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy) has her own ideas, and begins to tear strips off Nish’s character.

As he packs her bags, Priya pleads with him to listen to her, and ends up moving in with Martin Fowler (James Bye).
Suki questions whether or not making her homeless was the right thing to do, but later, it transpires that Nish is impressed by his son’s plan.
Angered that Nish has once again managed to destroy her life after spreading a rumour that they slept together, Priya lures him into the Minute Mart… and hand cuffs him!
