EastEnders’ Ravi Gulati is set to make another big mistake as he carries the guilt of attacking his own son Nugget. In previous scenes, Ravi realised he must’ve been responsible for beating up Nugget after being spiked by Nicola Mitchell. As he was in a drug-induced state, Ravi mistook his teenage son for his late father Nish, which resulted in Nugget ending up in hospital.

Ravi opened up to Priya about the attack, with the pair deciding to keep their son in the dark for his own sake.

Next week, Ravi, who’s doing his best to help Nugget recover from the attack, lets down his daughter Avani. The teen is giving evidence in the trial against Joel Marshall after he filmed himself and Avani having sex without her consent.

In a bid to make things right with Nugget, who continues struggling, Ravi gives him and Denzel Danes some money for a day out.

Later on, Ravi and Priya are relieved when Nugget informs them that he’s decided to go back to sixth form.

While the situation with Nugget appears to be improving, Ravi ends up disappointing Avani right as she prepares to take the stand in the Joel trial.

Ravi promises Avani that he’ll be there to support her in court but gets sidetracked by an urgent task in his informant role. As Ravi fails to show up for his daughter, Priya gives him some home truths, leaving him consumed with self-loathing.

“Ravi is trying his best to help Nugget, consumed by his guilt about attacking his son after being spiked,” says our insider.

“But as he continues to secretly act as a police informant, he lets Avani down in the process. It’s another huge blow for Ravi and he feels truly awful…”

These scenes will air next week.
