EastEnders viewers have watched as Ravi’s drug scam has become under threat, as he tries to reignite his romance with Priya Nandra-Hart.
Added to this, the police are now hot on his trail.
Fans are now predicting that a show legend could return to the soap as Ravi’s druglord, as the storyline escalates.
Two names have been thrown into the hat by viewers and they are Vincent Hubbard and Aunt Babe.
Fans will remember how Vincent disappeared from Walford in 2018, after getting on the wrong side of local gangster Aidan Maguire.
It was then understood that he was killed by Aidan – but viewers never saw him murdered.
Fans now have a theory Vincent could be heading back to Albert Square as part of Ravi’s drugs scam storyline.
It all started when the former Albert Square bad boy was mentioned on the soap.
It came after Howie Danes recently overheard Kim Fox comparing their relationship to how life was when she was with Vincent.
Meanwhile, Aunt Babe left the soap the year before Vincent.
Richard Blackwood reveals he could still return to EastEnders as Vincent Hubbard at the Dancing on Ice launch and Gemma Collins is the one to watch
She fled Walford after her thieving ways caught up with her when she tried to steal from the Queen Vic, and pub landlord Mick Carter threw her out.
EastEnders fans have now been speculating that one of these former Albert Square crooks could be Ravi’s kingpin.
Taking to X/Twitter one said: “When Babe is revealed as the drug lord in this Ravi/Harry story and it ends with her becoming the new owner of Walford East.”
Another added: “The drug lord will be the one that got away with all her crimes. Ms Babe Smith.”
This fan is backing Vincent, and said: “What if Vincent is running the drug operation?”
Another viewer agreed: “That would a great twist”
“We get the duff duff after he steps out of a dark alley way and his face is then illuminated by the street light to reveal an older, hardened and scarred Vincent.”
