Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) launches a vicious attack on Ross Marshall (Alex Walkinshaw) in EastEnders next week.
He’s one man that you don’t want to mess with!
But what causes the feud between the fellas? Their children, of course.
As viewers of the BBC soap know, Ravi is fiercely defensive of daughter Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James), and has become increasingly concerned about her wellbeing in recent months.
The 15-year old was searched at the police station after being accused of handling drugs, and the situation soon escalated.
Unwilling to cooperate with the officers’ questions, they decided to strip her – much to Avani’s horror.
She then refused to lodge a complaint, with her mum Priya (Sophie Khan Levy) speaking up instead.
Later, after some words of wisdom from Yolande Trueman (Angela Wynter), she bravely went down to the station and filed her own concern.
Unfortunately, the matter was brushed under the carpet and Avani resumed her troubling reliance on drink and drugs. When she couldn’t afford anymore weed, newcomer Joel Marshall (Max Murray) stepped in.
He clearly liked her – and decided to make his move after barging in on her heart to heart with Barney Mitchell (Lewis Bridgeman).
Barn’ warned that Joel could spell trouble, after witnessing him watching porn with Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall) and commenting how he’d like to reenact the video with Avani.
The two eventually slept together – and again earlier this week, with Joel’s dad Ross and his partner Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) catching them in the act.
In upcoming scenes, Vicki urges her fella to speak with Avani’s parents about the matter, wanting them to be aware of what the teens have been up to.
He chickens out of the matter, and decides to speak with Avani herself.
Suki Panesar-Unwin (Balvinder Sopal) watches on from afar, and smells a fish when they both have conflicting stories as to what the conversation was about.
Charging over to speak with Vicki and Ross, they are forced to come clean. Suki then makes it her mission to get Avani to talk with her parents about the matter, though she’s reluctant to do so.
Who can blame her, with a dad like Ravi!
Suki decides that it’s best if she speaks to Priya herself, but little do the women realise, Ravi has heard every single word.
Enraged, he demands an audience with Joel and then lashes out at Ravi.
In the upcoming episodes of EastEnders, tensions between Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) and Ross Marshall (Alex Walkinshaw) escalate into a violent confrontation, sparked by their children’s troubled relationship. Ravi is deeply protective of his daughter, Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James), who has been struggling with substance abuse and a problematic relationship with Ross’ son, Joel (Max Murray).
After Avani’s traumatic experience at the police station and a series of troubling events, including her involvement with Joel, Ravi’s concern for his daughter reaches a boiling point. When Ross fails to address the situation properly, Ravi confronts him angrily. This leads to a physical altercation between the two fathers, as Ravi lashes out, fueled by his desperation to protect Avani.
Meanwhile, Suki Panesar-Unwin (Balvinder Sopal) steps in, trying to mediate the situation, but her efforts only escalate tensions. The episode showcases Ravi’s overwhelming need to protect his daughter, but also the complicated relationships between the families involved. As the feud between Ravi and Ross intensifies, it seems that their conflict is far from over, setting the stage for more drama in the coming weeks.
