EastEnders Fans ‘Work Out’ Which Character Will Die Amid Harry Mitchell Kidnapping Twist
Harry’s Hostage Nightmare Deepens
EastEnders fans have been left gripped by the terrifying scenes involving Harry Mitchell, who remains trapped by Ravi Gulati and his dangerous associate Okie. The young Mitchell, who has struggled with addiction, has been forced into a nightmare situation after being kidnapped and blackmailed for information about a hidden camera linked to Kojo Asare’s flat — the centre of a major drug operation.
After being coerced into phoning his father Teddy to reassure him he was safe, Harry was later seen begging for release. But Okie refused, demanding to know where the surveillance footage was connected. Even after Harry complied, his captors refused to free him. Instead, Okie turned his attention to Gina Knight, Harry’s girlfriend — and that’s when things took a sinister turn.
Okie’s Dangerous Obsession
When Okie bumped into Gina on his way to retrieve Harry’s laptop, he flirted with her — and Gina, unaware of who he really was, gave him her number. Later, Okie boasted to a terrified Harry that he planned to pursue Gina romantically.
Despite Ravi instructing him to release Harry before going on holiday with Avani, Okie decided to ignore the order. By the end of the episode, he smugly informed his hostage of his intentions, leaving fans horrified.
With Okie now juggling drug turf wars, rival dealers, and a twisted infatuation with Gina, it’s clear that danger is closing in from all sides.
Viewers Predict Okie’s Death
Following the episode, fans flooded Reddit and X with theories that Okie will be the one to die as the gripping storyline nears its climax.
One user wrote: “I have a feeling they’re building him up to kill him off when this story culminates.” Another added: “Maybe Gina will kill him — it would be poetic justice after everything he’s done to Harry.”
Others believe the storyline is setting up a violent showdown. “He’s likely just around for this god-awful drugs story,” one fan commented. “I imagine he’ll die or go to prison.”
Some, however, argued that Okie deserves redemption rather than a tragic end. “I’d like this outcome more than him just being killed off,” another viewer shared. “It would be great to see him try to change, even if it’s too late.”
Trouble Ahead for Ravi and Avani
Meanwhile, Ravi faces problems of his own after social services and police turned up to question Avani about footage showing Joel Marshall secretly filming them together. The revelation has shaken the family to its core, prompting Ravi to flee London with Avani for a brief escape — a move that leaves Okie with full control of the drug business and Harry’s fate.
But with rival dealers warning him off their territory and fans convinced his arrogance will lead to his downfall, Okie may be running out of time.
Will Okie’s Reign End in Death or Redemption?
As the EastEnders autumn storylines build toward their explosive Christmas episodes, one thing feels certain: someone won’t make it out alive.
With Harry’s life in jeopardy, Gina unknowingly caught in the middle, and Okie spiralling further into chaos, fans are bracing for a shocking twist that could end in tragedy — and finally bring the Mitchell kidnapping saga to a fiery conclusion.
