Walford is about to be shaken to its very core as EastEnders drops one of its darkest and most emotional twists in recent memory. What began as a dangerous game of deception and desperation is spiraling into tragedy—and it’s going to leave one major character dead.

The mystery surrounding Harry Mitchell’s disappearance has gripped Albert Square, but the truth is far more sinister than anyone could have imagined. For weeks, Harry has been trapped, manipulated, and pushed to the brink, caught in the deadly crossfire between Ravi Gulati and his violent enforcer, Okie. His attempt to do the right thing—to expose a criminal operation—has led him down a path of addiction, lies, and now, fatal consequences.

At the heart of this turmoil is Ravi Gulati, who’s long been one of Walford’s most dangerous men. But this time, Ravi’s empire is collapsing from within. After discovering that his daughter Avani had been humiliated by Joel Marshall’s online scandal, Ravi fled town with his family, desperate for a break. Yet even as he tried to be a father and partner again, the ghosts of his crimes lingered in Walford. While he was away, Okie—his trusted right-hand man—made decisions that would forever change Ravi’s life.

Okie had always been loyal, brutal, and effective. But when Harry planted secret cameras at their drug operation to clear his friend Kojo’s name, everything went terribly wrong. Caught red-handed, Harry became Okie’s prisoner. The once-confident Mitchell boy was reduced to a shadow of himself, trapped in a dingy flat and hooked on substances forced upon him to keep him quiet.

As days turned to weeks, the tension began to boil. Kojo, desperate to find his missing friend, tracked him down and found him in a pitiful state. When Okie tried to manipulate Kojo with drugs, Kojo pretended to take them—secretly planning to save Harry instead. But his brave act set off a chain of violence that no one could stop.

Meanwhile, Harry’s father, Teddy Mitchell, has been on his own frantic mission. Believing his son had fled to Cardiff, Teddy confided in Billy Mitchell and set off in search of him, unaware that Harry was suffering just a few streets away.

As the October 22nd episode unfolded, the tension reached breaking point. Ravi, still away, remained oblivious to the chaos back home. But when word began to reach him that Okie’s temper was spiraling out of control, Ravi faced a devastating decision—was it time to cut ties with his most dangerous ally?

But it was too late.

The final moments of the week’s episodes saw Okie’s paranoia take over. Convinced that Harry and Kojo were plotting to betray him, he lashed out in a moment of pure rage. In a harrowing and emotionally charged scene, Okie turned violent. The struggle that followed was raw and chaotic—ending with Okie fatally injured after Ravi stormed back into Walford to stop the madness himself.

Yes, you read that right: Okie dies after Ravi’s brutal attack.

When Ravi arrived back in town and saw the chaos Okie had created, his fury boiled over. Their confrontation was explosive—a clash between two men who’d both gone too far. Ravi accused Okie of destroying everything, while Okie blamed Ravi for abandoning him. As fists flew and rage took over, Ravi delivered the fatal blow that would seal both their fates.

The aftermath will leave viewers stunned. Okie’s body lies lifeless, and Ravi—once so sure of his own strength—is left trembling, realizing what he’s done. For the first time, the mighty Ravi Gulati looks broken.

But the fallout doesn’t end there. Harry, still reeling from the trauma, may become the key witness that finally brings Ravi’s empire crashing down. However, his addiction and emotional state make his testimony uncertain. Teddy will soon discover the horrifying truth about where his son has been—and who’s responsible. The Mitchell family will rally together, but the damage is already done.

Elsewhere in Walford, another emotional storm brews. Guilt-ridden Nigel Bates faces police interrogation after confessing to the hit-and-run that left Gina and Jasmine fighting for their lives. His bloodstained shoes were the proof that shattered his world. Julie tried to shield him, but the truth clawed its way out, as it always does in Albert Square.

Nigel’s decision to turn himself in could cost him his freedom, but it might also save his soul. His confession is the mirror image of Ravi’s story—a tale of guilt, denial, and redemption colliding in the heart of Walford.

And as if that weren’t enough, another revelation is about to explode: Zoe Slater’s shocking confession about her son’s real father. After years of secrecy, Zoe admits that she lied—Dennis Rickman isn’t the father. The news stuns Kat, reopening old wounds and raising terrifying questions about who Zoe’s child really belongs to.

This week’s EastEnders episodes weave these stories together into a haunting tapestry of guilt, betrayal, and loss. From the backstreets of Walford to the chaos inside the Mitchell home, the tension doesn’t let up for a second.

As the dust settles, one thing becomes clear: Ravi Gulati’s world is collapsing. Okie’s death isn’t just the end of a partnership—it’s the spark that will ignite a war. The police are closing in, Harry’s survival is uncertain, and Ravi’s family may never forgive him.

Walford is about to witness the undoing of one of its most complex men. Ravi may have thought he could silence his demons, but his brutal act has only awakened more.

And as EastEnders heads into its next explosive chapter, viewers can expect heartbreak, justice, and one haunting question: can Ravi ever come back from killing the one man who was loyal to him to the bitter end?

Brace yourselves—because the next episodes promise grief, redemption, and the shocking aftermath of Okie’s death after Ravi Gulati’s brutal attack.

EastEnders continues Monday to Thursday at 7:30 p.m. on BBC One, with early releases available from 6:00 a.m. on BBC iPlayer.
