This article contains spoilers for this week’s first episode of EastEnders, which airs Wednesday at 7pm on BBC One or can be streamed now on iPlayer.
Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) has started his drug dealing again… and two Walford residents have already clocked on.
In the wake of Bernie Taylor (Clair Norris) robbing from the family’s businesses, Ravi knew that he had to act fast to recover the money. This was only intensified when his daughter Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James) revealed a number of lavish requests for her upcoming birthday.
He was infuriated to hear that brother Vinny (Shiv Jalota) had called the police to alert them to the situation. After all, getting the cops involved isn’t really the Panesar way of doing things.
With his desperation growing, Ravi headed to speak to old nemesis Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington), asking her to put him in touch with some of her old contacts.
She warned him against messing with her associates – saying that if he put a foot out of line, it would only spark more trouble. Nic’ also asserted that she wanted no part in the scheme.


After securing a stash of narcotics in the boot of his car, Ravi was spooked by an arriving police officer. They were going to question Vinny about his report, but Ravi knew that he had to hide the vehicle from public sight.
He quickly turned to Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) for help, hoping that it being in The Arches under the guise of being in for repair.
Harry initially assumed that Ravi must’ve been behind on payments, and therefore he’d be keeping it away from bailiffs. However, after spotting the police presence, he knew that there was something more sinister at play.
Not wanting to question it, he allowed the car to be kept in the garage in exchange for £100 a day.
