Ravi Discovers Zoe’s Secret Son | EastEnders 🔥🧨👶🕵️‍♂️

EastEnders is preparing viewers for one of its most harrowing and emotionally explosive storylines yet, as a dark chain of events sends shockwaves through Albert Square and uncovers secrets that threaten to destroy families forever. At the center of the storm is Ravi Gulati, whose life spirals out of control following a terrifying ordeal that leaves his own son fighting for survival—and sets the stage for a shocking revelation connected to Zoe Slater’s long-buried secret.

In a chilling preview released by the BBC, the aftermath of the brutal assault on Nugget Gulati is laid bare through a series of haunting images filled with fear, guilt, and devastation. What begins as a twisted act of revenge quickly escalates into a nightmare that Ravi may never wake up from. Earlier in the week, Ravi unknowingly becomes the target of a dangerous plot when Nicola and Harry Mitchell secretly spike his drink. Their motive is cold and calculated—punishment for Ravi’s involvement in an illegal drug deal from the previous year. But what they unleash is far more destructive than they ever imagined.

With his senses dulled and his defenses stripped away, Ravi is lured to the Arches by Harry under false pretenses. Once there, he becomes the victim of a disturbing psychological torment. Trapped, isolated, and powerless, Ravi is subjected to mind games designed to break him completely. When Harry is suddenly called away, Ravi is left alone in the pit, only for the situation to worsen as he is cruelly locked inside the garage.

As the drugs take hold, Ravi’s grip on reality begins to shatter. He is overwhelmed by terrifying hallucinations, the most disturbing of which involve his late father, Nish. In Ravi’s fractured mind, Nish appears not as a memory, but as a merciless presence—mocking him, blaming him, and forcing him to confront years of unresolved trauma. The visions grow more intense, pushing Ravi deeper into despair as the line between past and present dissolves.

Eventually, Ravi manages to escape through the back exit of the garage, but freedom offers no relief. He collapses outside, completely disoriented, where the hallucinations intensify. In his mind, Nish attacks him, choking him and dragging him back into the darkness Ravi once barely survived. Overcome by hopelessness, Ravi even finds himself wishing for the death he narrowly escaped the year before.

Consumed by terror and rage, Ravi lashes out at the figure he believes is haunting him. In a violent frenzy, he launches a savage attack, beating the person until they lie motionless on the ground. It is only later that the horrifying truth emerges—the victim was not Nish at all, but Ravi’s own son, Nugget.

Nugget is rushed to the hospital in critical condition, suffering life-threatening injuries and severe bleeding on the brain. He is placed in a coma as doctors fight to save his life. Priya watches helplessly at his bedside, her world collapsing as she struggles to comprehend how her son ended up in this state. Back on the Square, Ravi himself collapses, utterly unaware of the devastation he has caused.

In episodes airing next week, the emotional toll deepens as Nugget’s loved ones gather at the hospital, clinging to hope. Priya, Suki, and Eve maintain a constant vigil, anxiously awaiting updates while fearing the worst. The tension is unbearable as Nugget’s condition remains critical, and every passing moment feels like a lifetime.

Meanwhile, Ravi regains consciousness with no memory of the previous night. Confused and disoriented, he returns home and switches his phone back on—only to be confronted with a barrage of missed calls and alarming messages. As fragments of the truth begin to surface, Ravi learns what has happened to Nugget, and the realization hits him like a freight train.

Horrified and shaken to his core, Ravi is consumed by guilt as flashes of memory begin to return. The possibility that he may be responsible for his son’s injuries is almost too much to bear. Overwhelmed, Ravi rushes to the hospital, where he makes the painful decision to tell Priya everything he remembers.

The confession devastates Priya. She is left struggling to process the idea that Ravi—Nugget’s own father—could be responsible for the attack that has left their son fighting for his life. Her heartbreak quickly turns into an impossible dilemma when the police begin investigating Nugget’s assault.

As officers question Priya about what she knows, Ravi waits in agonizing suspense, knowing his fate rests entirely in her hands. Will Priya tell the truth and risk losing Ravi forever, or will she protect him by keeping his horrifying secret buried?

Elsewhere on the Square, another emotional storm is brewing as Jasmine Fischer’s carefully constructed façade begins to crumble. Known for her confidence, sharp tongue, and emotional detachment, Jasmine has long appeared unbreakable. But next week, years of suppressed trauma finally come rushing to the surface.

Jasmine’s life has been marked by chaos from the very beginning. Abandoned in hospital as a baby by a mother who believed she had died, she was later rejected by the woman who adopted her. Her alignment with the ruthless Chrissie Watts in a revenge plot against her birth mother only added to the turmoil. The shock discovery that Anthony Truman was her biological father—and that he had been murdered—sent her world spinning once again.

At first, it seemed Chrissie was responsible for Anthony’s death before disappearing and framing Zoe Slater for the crime. Zoe, in an act of devastating self-sacrifice, chose to stay silent to protect the daughter she had only just reconnected with. That decision now threatens to cost Zoe decades behind bars.

With Zoe gone, Jasmine moves in with Kat and Alfie Moon, but her troubled past soon resurfaces. Her history of stalking Zoe and causing tension within the Slater family makes it difficult for her to settle. Matters worsen when Jean’s declining mental health leads her to believe Jasmine is a dangerous presence determined to tear the family apart.

Encouraged by her boyfriend Oscar Branning, Jasmine reaches out to her grandfather, Patrick Truman. However, Patrick is distant, consumed by grief over the loss of his son. It is only after Yolande gently urges him to reconnect that Patrick begins to open the door to a fragile reconciliation.

When Jasmine later agrees to babysit Lily Slater’s baby, Charlie, a simple misunderstanding spirals into chaos. Unaware the baby monitor has stopped working, Jasmine leaves the room briefly, only for Lily to return and find her child distressed. An explosive confrontation follows, undoing any progress Jasmine had made.

Although Patrick offers Jasmine a place to stay, he privately confesses his concerns about her unpredictable behavior. Those fears appear justified when Jasmine spirals after an argument with Oscar and turns to alcohol. The next day, she reappears drunk and volatile, clashing with Chelsea Fox, who drops a bombshell by insisting Anthony was far from the perfect man Jasmine idolized.

As Jasmine unravels—rejected by both the Slaters and the Trumans—the question remains whether she can be saved, or if she is destined to be completely alone as the families around her fall apart.

Amid the on-screen heartbreak, EastEnders also pays tribute to a real-life loss. Beloved actor Derek Martin, best known for his role as Charlie Slater, has passed away at the age of 92. His agent confirmed the news, describing Derek as a true working-class icon who left an indelible mark on British television.

EastEnders honored Derek with a heartfelt tribute on social media, celebrating his portrayal of Charlie as the devoted Slater patriarch who would do anything for his family—a quality Derek embodied in real life. Fans flooded the comments with grief and gratitude, hailing him as a true EastEnders legend whose legacy will never be forgotten.

With devastating secrets, shattered families, and emotional reckonings unfolding across the Square, EastEnders is delivering one of its most powerful and heartbreaking chapters yet—where the truth threatens to destroy everything, and redemption may come at the highest possible cost.
