Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) launches a vicious attack on Ross Marshall (Alex Walkinshaw) in EastEnders next week.
He’s one man that you don’t want to mess with!
But what causes the feud between the fellas? Their children, of course.
As viewers of the BBC soap know, Ravi is fiercely defensive of daughter Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James), and has become increasingly concerned about her wellbeing in recent months.
The 15-year old was searched at the police station after being accused of handling drugs, and the situation soon escalated.
Unwilling to cooperate with the officers’ questions, they decided to strip her – much to Avani’s horror.
She then refused to lodge a complaint, with her mum Priya (Sophie Khan Levy) speaking up instead.
Later, after some words of wisdom from Yolande Trueman (Angela Wynter), she bravely went down to the station and filed her own concern.
Unfortunately, the matter was brushed under the carpet and Avani resumed her troubling reliance on drink and drugs. When she couldn’t afford anymore weed, newcomer Joel Marshall (Max Murray) stepped in.
He clearly liked her – and decided to make his move after barging in on her heart to heart with Barney Mitchell (Lewis Bridgeman).
Barn’ warned that Joel could spell trouble, after witnessing him watching porn with Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall) and commenting how he’d like to reenact the video with Avani.
The two eventually slept together – and again earlier this week, with Joel’s dad Ross and his partner Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) catching them in the act.
In upcoming scenes, Vicki urges her fella to speak with Avani’s parents about the matter, wanting them to be aware of what the teens have been up to.
He chickens out of the matter, and decides to speak with Avani herself.
Suki Panesar-Unwin (Balvinder Sopal) watches on from afar, and smells a fish when they both have conflicting stories as to what the conversation was about.
Charging over to speak with Vicki and Ross, they are forced to come clean. Suki then makes it her mission to get Avani to talk with her parents about the matter, though she’s reluctant to do so.
Who can blame her, with a dad like Ravi!
Suki decides that it’s best if she speaks to Priya herself, but little do the women realise, Ravi has heard every single word.
Enraged, he demands an audience with Joel and then lashes out at Ravi.
