SHOCKING NEWS!! EastEnders airs frightening Ravi and Priya scene ahead of harrowing week

EastEnders aired a frightening scene between Ravi Gulati and Priya Nandra-Hart, with the dramatic episode leading into a harrowing storyline next week. As Ravi’s mental health spirals, his family will intervene.

Ravi has been struggling for the past few months following his involvement in the drug operation, which had huge consequences for both Harry Mitchell and Kojo Asare. Since then, Ravi has been battling his demons.

Tonight’s episode of the BBC soap began with Ravi waking on the sofa, reasoning that he didn’t want to wake Priya. He expressed hope that he could help his family, but Priya urged him to take care of himself first.

Ravi was placed in a stressful situation at the market, as his son Nugget confronted Will Mitchell. Will had recorded Nugget while he was having a seizure, and the video made its way online.

Will told his parents, Billy and Honey, that he was the one who recorded the footage, but wasn’t the one who posted it online. Nugget demanded that the identity of the poster be made clear, but Will didn’t budge.

Will referenced Ravi’s previous incident with Barney, where he dangled him from the bridge. Though Ravi was far quieter and told Nugget that he had it covered, Nugget was disappointed by his father’s inaction.

Ravi subsequently fell asleep at The Vic, and was spooked when he was awoken by Kat Moon. He tumbled across the pub and smashed a few glasses, with Kat urging Suki Panesar-Unwin to “have a word” with her stepson.

Suki later spoke with Priya, and asked what was going on with Ravi. She explained the extent of her partner’s struggles, admitting that he had been “spiralling” in the aftermath of the incident involving Harry and Kojo.

Ravi met with Priya and Suki, and attempted to hide his true struggles. Suki said she would pay for an appointment with a mental health specialist, and Ravi agreed to make an appointment as Priya pleaded with him to sort himself out.

Later that night, Priya and Ravi slept in the same bed, but the latter had a bad dream. As Priya tried to wake him, he grabbed her arm similar to the earlier situation with Kat, and terrified his partner as he raised his fist.

Ravi soon snapped out of it as a tearful Priya expressed his fear, but he was left with the realisation that he’s becoming increasingly dangerous to his family. With Suki already recommending a specialist, will Ravi heed the advice of his loved ones?

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?
