EastEnders: Nugget Could Be Walford’s Next CASUALTY — Here’s How
The Panesars on the Brink
The Panesar family is heading straight for another storm in EastEnders, and this time, young Davinder “Nugget” Gulati could find himself in deadly danger. Actor Juhaim Rasul Choudhury has teased that the family’s unity is about to crumble, with shocking events set to send “major shockwaves” through Walford.
“It may look like the family is together now,” he revealed, “but soon there will be cracks in their relationships — and it rocks them.” Those cracks may widen into catastrophe as Ravi’s risky double life spirals out of control.
Ravi’s Dangerous Gamble
Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) has already proved that when it comes to survival, he’ll take extreme risks — and now he’s wading deeper into the criminal underworld. After Bernie Taylor (Clair Norris) destroyed the Panesars’ business empire, Ravi turned to drug operations to rebuild their finances.
But in EastEnders, no secret stays buried for long. Nicola Mitchell recently warned Ravi that his next mistake could cost him everything. “One wrong move and you’ll lose it all,” she told him — words that could soon prove prophetic.
Ravi’s obsession with maintaining power may drag his son into the darkness. Nugget, who has already survived kidney failure from steroid abuse, is still fragile. As Ravi’s world collapses, his son could become collateral damage in his father’s dangerous game.
Joel Marshall’s Shadow Looms
Adding to the danger is Joel Marshall (Max Murray) — Walford’s newest threat and one of the soap’s darkest young villains. Joel’s sinister storylines have already shaken Vicki Fowler and Ross Marshall, and now his path is set to collide with Nugget’s.
Juhaim praised Max Murray’s performance as “dedicated and fearless,” adding that the character’s toxic behaviour will spark vital discussions about online misogyny and manipulation. But he also confirmed something that has fans worried — Nugget will be involved in Joel’s “climax.”
Could that mean he’ll get caught in Joel’s downfall? Or worse — become Joel’s next victim?
Family Divided: Suki and Eve’s Controversial Decision
While Ravi fights his demons, Suki (Balvinder Sopal) and Eve (Heather Peace) are considering a major life change — adopting a baby. What should be a moment of hope only deepens divisions within the Panesar family.
Juhaim revealed that the idea doesn’t sit well with anyone in the house. “They even label Suki a bad mother,” he said. Priya overhears the plan and is far from supportive, sparking another round of family conflict.
As everyone chooses sides, Nugget may once again find himself trying to keep the peace — or risk being pulled into chaos he can’t control.
Will Nugget Be the Next to Fall?
The question now haunting EastEnders fans: can Nugget escape his family’s cycle of destruction, or will he be Walford’s next casualty?
Between Ravi’s criminal empire, Joel’s menacing influence, and growing turmoil at home, Nugget’s path looks increasingly dangerous. Viewers are already speculating that he could become an innocent victim in the Panesars’ spiralling drama — or make a life-altering mistake that changes everything.
One thing’s for certain — the Panesar family is heading toward an explosion, and Nugget’s fate might just be the spark that lights it.
