EastEnders Fans Predict Ravi Gulati’s ‘Redemption Arc’ After Harry Mitchell Twist Shocks Albert Square
EastEnders fans are bracing for another explosive twist in the ongoing Mitchell–Gulati storyline — and many believe it could mark the start of a redemption arc for one of Walford’s most dangerous men.
Harry Mitchell’s Disappearance Sparks Chaos
Tensions reached breaking point this week after Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway), the son of Teddy and Nicola Mitchell, was revealed to have been held captive for two weeks. The shocking storyline unfolded after Harry secretly tried to expose Ravi Gulati’s criminal operation.
In a desperate attempt to protect his friend Kojo Asare, Harry planted hidden cameras to gather evidence against Ravi and his associate Okie. But his plan backfired spectacularly — he was caught, beaten, and left imprisoned, turning to drugs to numb the trauma.
Meanwhile, Okie has continued running Ravi’s shady business in his absence, manipulating everyone around him. He even lied to Harry, claiming to be romantically involved with Gina Knight, while forcing him to lure Kojo back into the dangerous fold.
Teddy’s Desperate Search
In Wednesday night’s episode (October 22), Teddy Mitchell told Billy he was heading to Cardiff to look for Harry, completely unaware that his son is still trapped in Walford.
As Teddy left, Kojo discovered Harry in a drugged and disoriented state. Pretending to take Okie’s drugs himself, Kojo secretly spat them out — a silent signal that he’s planning a rescue mission of his own.
But with Ravi out of the picture, the stakes have never been higher.
Ravi’s Guilt and a Possible Redemption
Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) has been struggling with guilt and inner conflict for months. After taking a family holiday to escape the chaos surrounding Joel Marshall’s leaked photos of his daughter Avani, Ravi is now completely unaware of the horror unfolding back home.
Fans, however, are convinced that this storyline is setting up a turning point for Ravi. Many believe he will return to find Harry and Kojo in danger — and risk everything to save them, even if it means facing his own downfall.
On Reddit, one viewer theorised: “I think Ravi’s redemption arc will come when he realises what his actions created. Okie and the dealers will turn on him, and he’ll have to take them down himself.”
Another fan added: “He might try to save Harry to make amends, but it’s too late. He should face consequences — not just walk away like nothing happened.”
Divided Viewers
While some fans welcome the idea of Ravi confronting his demons, others argue it’s too little, too late.

@Its_ya_girl_abs_ added: “They’ll probably do a typical redemption story — Harry will hate Ravi, then forgive him later like Sharon did with Ian. It’s so predictable.”
Still, many viewers suspect Ravi’s redemption won’t come easily. One fan summed it up best: “He’ll lose Priya, lose his kids, and be forced to destroy the empire he built. That’s the only real consequence.”
What Happens Next in Walford
As Harry’s ordeal worsens and Kojo edges closer to saving him, all eyes are on Ravi’s return. Will he take responsibility for the chaos he caused, or will his past consume him once and for all?
Whatever happens, EastEnders fans agree on one thing — this storyline is about to explode, and redemption won’t come without a cost.
