It looks like romance is about to heat up in EastEnders, as fan-favourite pair Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) and Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy) finally seem ready to make things official, again.
After months of tension, fiery arguments, and complicated family drama, the two are set to take a big step forward in their relationship, but of course, not without a few bumps along the way.
In upcoming scenes, Ravi promises Priya and the kids a much-needed shopping trip, a rare attempt to play the responsible dad and partner. But things don’t exactly go to plan. Just as he’s about to follow through, Okie calls with bad news: the police have raided their base of operations. Instead of laying low, Ravi decides to move the whole operation to Kojo’s flat, leaving Harry completely horrified.
Back at home, Priya’s patience starts to wear thin. She calls Ravi out for letting Avani down again, leading to yet another heated argument. But this time, things take a surprising turn, the argument turns passionate, and sparks fly between the former couple.
The two share an intense moment, and afterwards, Ravi tells Priya he wants to turn his life around for real. He promises to go legit and start fresh, and they agree to give their relationship another go. For a brief moment, it seems like the couple and their family might actually get a shot at happiness.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t last long.
Faced with mounting financial pressure, Ravi is set to break his promise almost immediately. Instead of walking away from his criminal ties, he dives deeper into drug dealing which could destroy everything he’s just rebuilt with Priya.
As fans know, Ravi is a charming but dangerous character with a habit of choosing the wrong path, even when he wants to do the right thing. Priya, fierce and protective, has always struggled with trusting him, but deep down, there’s clearly still love between them.
Now that they’re giving things another shot, fans are sure to be torn: should they root for this reunion, or prepare for heartbreak all over again?
