EastEnders: Nicola Confronts Ravi With a Chilling Threat
Walford is about to witness a dangerous power struggle, as two of its most formidable figures—Ravi Gulati and Nicola Mitchell—go head-to-head in upcoming EastEnders episodes. Both ruthless, both tied to the underworld, and both willing to go to any lengths to protect what’s theirs, this clash could reshape the Square’s criminal landscape.
Ravi’s Operation Spirals Out of Control
Ravi (Aaron Thiara) has been running an increasingly risky drug operation to save his family from financial ruin. But his empire is built on fragile ground. When his top dealer Okie Okyere (Aayan Ibikunle Shoderu) is savagely beaten by a rival gang during their latest run, Ravi’s carefully constructed network starts to unravel.
Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway), already in too deep after trying to shield his best mate Kojo Asare (Dayo Koleosho), makes a crucial mistake. Spotting a gang watching Kojo’s flat, he stays silent—hoping the pressure will scare Ravi off. Instead, Kojo walks into the chaos, and Okie is left bloodied in the aftermath.
Harry Turns to Nicola for Help
With the situation spiralling and his own life in danger, Harry turns to his mother, Nicola (Laura Doddington). Unlike her son, Nicola knows exactly how to navigate the criminal world—and she isn’t afraid to face Ravi head-on.
Nicola Puts Ravi on the Backfoot
Nicola wastes no time reminding Ravi of one crucial fact: she was the one who first connected him to his current drug contacts. She knows his bosses, and she knows how to get to them.
Delivering a dark ultimatum, Nicola warns Ravi that if he doesn’t release Harry from his clutches, she’ll go straight to his higher-ups. Such a move would put Ravi in mortal danger, leaving him little choice but to back down.
For once, Ravi is forced to yield. Harry is cut free from the operation, thanks to Nicola’s brutal intervention.
But Kojo Isn’t Safe
While Harry may breathe a sigh of relief, the nightmare isn’t over. Ravi makes it clear he still intends to use Kojo’s flat as a base for his dealing, leaving Kojo trapped in the same dangerous world Harry barely escaped.
Final Word: A Brewing War
Nicola may have scored a rare victory over Ravi, but her threat has shifted the balance of power in Walford’s underworld. With Ravi cornered and Kojo still at risk, the feud between these two dangerous players is only just beginning.
