The six women were involved in the murder and cover up of Keanu Taylor, and since then, Suki Panesar, Kathy Beale, Linda Carter, Stacey Slater, Denise Fox and Sharon Watts have all handled what happened in different ways.
None of The Six’s loved ones have any idea what the women have done, but some EastEnders fans wish one particular character could be let in on the secret to give them more screen time.
Eve Unwin has long been a fan favourite among EastEnders fans, especially for her relationship with Suki, which is now out in the open.
Before Christmas, Suki’s husband Nish tried to have Eve killed after discovering their relationship, before she returned to the Square to reunite with her love and leave Walford together.
Things obviously didn’t go to plan and now the couple are living at Stacey’s together, but some fans feel Eve should be more central to what is going on with Suki and The Six’s cover up.
Taking to X – formerly Twitter – one fan wrote in a lengthy post: “EE rant: Okay since Eve came back from ‘the dead’ before Christmas we have only seen approximately what 20 minutes of her on the show.
“Now before then she played a huge role in the whole Nish situation and the fact that he tried to kill her too/have her killed. We hear more about this from other characters than we do Eve like we didn’t even get to see them have it out.
“I know we haven’t seen a lot of other characters lately but this whole Nish and the six situation is something she should be more involved in. I mean the fact that Jack may find out before she does is frustrating.
There’s nothing for her character to do!

“Don’t get me wrong I love the little Suki and Eve scenes we are getting but there could be so much more there and the fact that’s all she seems to be used for is.
“I just hope we either get to see her more involved in this storyline or her own storyline soon.”
Another added: “Totally agree, you think all that Nish did to her that would have been some kind of confrontation etc it’s like the abuse of Nish, trying to kill Eve it’s like just forgotten I don’t get it.”
A third commented: “There’s nothing for her character to do, which is why her dying at Christmas or leaving the Square with Suki would’ve been best.”
Meanwhile a fourth tweeted: “I agree, they need to use her character more.
“She’s a lawyer and should be quick at spotting things more so than Nish, even with the divorce situ I felt her expertise could’ve been used even more although I understood the message about Suki and freedom but yeah fell flat tbh.”
A fellow fan of Eve shared: “Yes She certainly only seems to get crumbs at the moment Worth so much more. Not even seeing much of her with Suki??”
