Name: Parvinder “Vinny” Panesar
First Appeared: 29th October 2019
Played by: Shiv Jalota

Poor Vinny! As the baby of the Panesar family, he was always overlooked, possibly because they were involved in so many dodgy dealings they didn’t notice he was there!

Vinny would have done well to stay away from it all, but no, he felt eternally left out due to his overprotective mother Suki, who’s defence of her youngest bordered on insane. She even sent his other brother to prison to save Vinny and when Jags died inside, it was Vinny who shouldered the guilt.

Nish eventually pushed too far, and Vinny rejected his dad. Now out from the shadow of the past, Vinny can make a new start and become who he wants.
