Ravi Dies After Nicola’s Brutal Attack | EastEnders 💥🔥🖤

Harry Mitchell’s long-awaited return to Albert Square was meant to mark a fresh start, but instead it opened the door to one of the darkest and most explosive storylines EastEnders has delivered in years. Fresh out of rehab, Harry came back determined to stay clean after surviving a living nightmare that left scars far deeper than anyone could see. His abduction and prolonged torture at the hands of Oki had shattered his life, dragging him into addiction and stripping him of any sense of safety or control. While rehab helped him regain clarity, it couldn’t erase the trauma—or the rage still burning inside him.

What should have been a comforting homecoming quickly turned hollow. Harry walked back into a fractured family, one missing its pillars. His father, Teddy Mitchell, remained locked behind bars after taking the fall for Oki’s death—a crime the family knows Harry himself committed in a moment of desperation and survival. The guilt weighs heavily on Harry, knowing his father sacrificed his freedom to protect him. Adding to the pain, Harry’s younger brother Barney was nowhere to be found. Unable to cope with the chaos and violence surrounding the Mitchell household, Barney had chosen stability over blood ties, moving in with his biological father, Zack Hudson.

But the person Harry couldn’t escape—no matter how hard he tried—was Ravi Gulati. To Harry, Ravi is the architect of his destruction. It was Ravi who dragged him into the criminal underworld, forcing him to deal drugs and taking control of Kojo Asar’s home. When Harry tried to defend Kojo, Ravi and Oki locked him inside a drug house, where Oki repeatedly fed him substances to keep him compliant. That was the beginning of Harry’s addiction, and in his mind, Ravi will always be responsible.

Seeing Ravi stroll around the Square as if nothing had happened only fueled Harry’s bitterness. Ravi appeared to have everything Harry lost—his children Avani and Nugget, his partner Priya, and a seemingly normal family life. The contrast was unbearable. Kojo begged Harry to let go, warning him that revenge would only destroy what little progress he’d made. But Harry’s anger refused to fade.

The breaking point came after Barney rejected the idea of returning home. Moments later, Harry spotted Ravi casually exiting the café, relaxed and untouchable. The sight sent Harry spiraling. His fury spilled out in a verbal confrontation, drawing attention and concern. Later, Phil Mitchell pulled Harry aside and delivered some brutally honest advice. Phil’s words—about protecting family at all costs and dealing decisively with threats—hit deeper than Harry expected.

Soon after, Harry began shadowing Ravi around the Square, his mind consumed by violent thoughts. Nicola Mitchell, Harry’s mother, noticed immediately. A seasoned observer of danger, she sensed something was terribly wrong. Ravi, oblivious to the threat behind him, went about his day unaware that Harry followed closely, clutching a hidden spanner with shaking hands.

When Ravi bent down, vulnerable and distracted, Harry saw his chance. He raised the spanner, ready to strike and finally end his torment. But before he could act, a manicured hand clamped firmly around his arm. Nicola had intervened. With loud music drowning out their tense exchange, she ordered Harry to walk away—and he did, without resistance.

Later that night, inside the office at Harry’s barn, the truth spilled out. Harry confessed that if he didn’t get revenge on Ravi, he feared he would relapse. Nicola tried to stay calm, but the idea of losing her son again—to drugs or prison—shattered her composure. Through tears, she promised Harry something chilling: Ravi would pay. Not recklessly, not publicly—but carefully, quietly, and completely. He would be destroyed.

Unlike Harry, Nicola doesn’t rely on raw emotion. Beneath her composed exterior lies a woman with a lethal past and deep underworld connections. She knows how to plan, manipulate, and strike without leaving fingerprints. Ravi may be feared on the streets, but Nicola is a different kind of danger—cold, calculated, and relentless.

She chose her moment perfectly. At the club’s New Year’s Eve celebration, with music pounding and champagne flowing, Nicola approached Ravi with a smile. She offered him a drink, insisting there were no hard feelings. Ravi, relaxed and unsuspecting, accepted. As Nicola turned away, she locked eyes with Harry. No words were spoken, but the message was clear: this was only the beginning.

What followed would change everything. Ravi’s world began to unravel in ways he never anticipated. Nicola’s plan tightened like a noose, each step bringing Ravi closer to a brutal and irreversible fate. By the time the truth emerged, it was too late. Ravi Gulati was dead—the final victim of a revenge plot years in the making. Nicola’s attack was swift, decisive, and devastating, leaving the Square reeling and Harry standing at a terrifying crossroads between freedom and total collapse.

While the Mitchells’ revenge plot dominated headlines, another storm brewed within the Slater household. Christmas had been anything but joyful. Viewers were left stunned when Zoe Slater uncovered a devastating truth about her former partner, Anthony Truman. It emerged that Anthony had always known he was the biological father of Zoe’s twins—and had cruelly lied to Kat, claiming the babies were dead.

The confrontation turned violent in seconds. Zoe struck Anthony, sending him crashing into a doorframe. He retaliated, smashing her head against the banister. Both fell unconscious, but only Zoe woke up. In a horrifying twist, Zoe and Kat were forced to face the possibility that Anthony was dead—before Christmas dinner had even begun.

The chaos intensified with the explosive return of Chrissie Watts, secretly working with Zoe’s hidden daughter, Jasmine Fischer, to torment a mutual enemy. Amid all this turmoil, Jean Slater’s fragile mental health began to crumble. Often seen as the emotional heart of the family, Jean’s bipolar disorder has always been sensitive to stress—and Walford had become unbearable.

With Stacey gone and Zoe’s return reopening old wounds, Jean’s behavior grew increasingly erratic. Lily Slater noticed the warning signs and tried to help, but Jean dismissed concerns, insisting she was fine. In truth, her paranoia and hostility escalated. She openly blamed Zoe for every misfortune, even suggesting she should leave Walford forever.

Now, with Anthony dead and Zoe facing arrest, Jean’s mistrust has reached alarming levels. Some viewers even question whether Jean herself was involved in Anthony’s death. With Zoe unconscious at the critical moment, someone else could have delivered the fatal blow—and suspicion hangs heavily in the air.

As the Slaters struggle to hold themselves together, Eve, Stacey’s loved ones, and Alfie Moon desperately try to push Jean toward professional help. But time may be running out. Has grief finally pushed Jean too far, or is she being unfairly accused while the real culprit remains hidden?

Between Ravi’s shocking death and the Slaters’ unraveling secrets, EastEnders is plunging into some of its darkest territory yet. Revenge, guilt, mental illness, and buried truths collide, promising devastating consequences for everyone involved. One thing is certain—Walford will never be the same again.
