HOTTES NEWS TODAY!!! EastEnders’ Ravi reaches breaking point in emotional mental health scenes
EastEnders’ Ravi Gulati hits rock bottom next week as his mental health deteriorates and causes a shocking accident. Unable to cope with the guilt of attacking his own son, spiralling Ravi takes drastic action – and there are far-reaching consequences for more than one Walford family…
Ravi’s been struggling ever since he beat up Nugget while in the grips of a drug-induced hallucination, which triggered his son’s epilepsy. Nugget still has no idea his father was behind his life-changing assault and is struggling to live with his condition.
Priya has tried her best to support her troubled other half, but is aware she’s out of her depth. Insisting Ravi needs to see a professional, Priya persuades him to go to the doctors next week.
Back on the Square, Nugget confronts Will and his mates for sharing a shocking video. The clip shows Nugget suffering a seizure, and the teen is so humiliated he runs off.
When Ravi gets wind of this, he tracks down his boy and takes him home, promising to protect him from any further harm. But there is more upset ahead…
“Ravi is almost manic as he orders his family to stay home all day and spend time together,” reveals our insider. “It’s his way of trying to keep them safe and make up for what he did to Nugget.
“When he refuses to let anyone leave, Priya can see he’s losing it. The already tense atmosphere worsens when Nugget makes a discovery, leading to a dramatic confrontation between father and son that throws the clan into crisis…”
Knowing that what Nugget has found out could destroy her family, Priya tries to sneak out to get help. She is caught by anxious Ravi, he tells her she’s not safe unless she stays with him – so Priya tries a different tactic. 
She tells Ravi maybe it’s best if they all left Walford together, with the sneaky intention to get her partner some much-needed support. Finally free from the flat, Priya pinches a car from the lot and bundles Ravi and the kids inside.
As Priya drives, Ravi realises she’s heading to hospital and cottons on that he’s been tricked. The pair argue, then Nugget suffers a seizure…
“Priya gets distracted and the situation escalates,” warns our source. “She takes her eye off the road for a second and loses control of the car – crashing into Max, Cindy and Jimmy returning from nursery!”
While the crash victims assess the damage, Ravi flees the scene. Priya tries to locate her lover, and eventually finds him on the bridge, utterly broken. She manages to talk him down, but can Ravi finally get the proper help he needs?
