EastEnders’ Ravi Gulati Risks Everything for Avani’s Birthday – But Will He Pay the Ultimate Price?

Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) enters into the dangerous world of drug dealing again in EastEnders this week – despite Nicola Mitchell’s (Laura Doddington) warnings.

It all kicks off following Bernie Taylor’s (Clair Norris) explosive exit last week.

As viewers of the BBC One soap will recall, she had stolen thousands from their businesses in order to start a new life in Spain.

After initially framing Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig), the Panesars realised what was happening and installed spyware on her laptop to finally get the evidence they needed.

However, with the computer programme working on a delay, it was too late to stop her leaving. Suki (Balvinder Sopal) had already stepped to one side to let Bernie into the taxi, fearful that she would expose that she was involved in the murder of her brother Keanu (Danny Walters).

In upcoming scenes, the family try to rescue their livelihoods and Ravi has to take desperate measures.

He asks Nicola for a drugs contact, but she’s quick to warn him of the dangers involved.

With daughter Avani Nandra-Hart’s (Aaliyah James) birthday fast approaching, he knows that he’ll need to cash to make sure she has a perfect day.

After meeting up with dealer Okie (Aayan Ibikunie Shoderu), he’s forced to hide a car – which contains a stash of narcotics – in the garage.

Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) reluctantly agrees to store the vehicle, unaware of the contents. It’s not long before he and Kojo Asare (Dayo Koleosho) open the boot and find everything.

Terrified of the consequences, Harry calls Ravi and tells him to move the car, while Kojo puts his foot down and refuses to work until it’s out of sight.

Nicola makes an attempt to intervene when she sees the men in a tense exchange, and later sneaks into The Arches to take a look at what’s going on.

Later in the week, Harry starts his shift and is shocked to see Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) working on Ravi’s car. To make matters worse, the drugs have vanished.

He immediately jumps to the conclusion that his mum is the thief. Let’s face it, it’s likely to be something she’d do!

When Ravi and Okie arrive to collect the car, they realise their profits have disappeared.

Should Harry and Nicola be worried?
