BBC EastEnders Fans Say Ravi’s Drug Plot ‘Needs to End’ After Shockingly Dark Twist
The Storyline That’s Gone Too Far?
EastEnders fans have been left shaken — and divided — after this week’s “dark and distressing” twist in the ongoing Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) drug ring storyline.
The plot took a chilling turn on Tuesday, October 14, when Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) was shown chained to a radiator in an unknown location, confirming that he had been abducted by Ravi and his violent associate Okie (Aayan Ibikunle Shoderu).
For weeks, viewers have watched Harry and his best friend Kojo Asare (Dayo Koleosho) get dragged deeper into Ravi’s criminal network. But this week’s developments — including Harry’s desperate pleas, Okie’s violent outbursts, and Kojo’s eerie disappearance — have pushed some fans to breaking point.
A Web of Lies and Desperation
Before his kidnapping, Harry had confessed to his father Teddy Mitchell (Roland Manookian) about his role in Ravi’s drug operations. Despite his father’s warning to stay quiet, Harry wanted to turn himself in — and even planned to expose Ravi to the police to protect Kojo.
“Kojo’s my best mate, and if it means me going down, then fine. I’ll do it,” Harry declared.
Teddy tried to protect both boys by secretly planting a camera in Kojo’s flat, hoping to collect evidence to blackmail Ravi into backing off. But the plan backfired — and now that camera is the key to Harry’s suffering.
Okie, furious and paranoid, demanded that Harry reveal where the footage is stored. When he refused, Okie’s temper boiled over, leaving Harry bruised, broken, and still in chains.
Where Is Kojo? Fans Fear the Worst
With Harry’s location unknown and Ravi tightening his grip, Kojo’s disappearance has sent the EastEnders fandom into meltdown. His friends believe he’s in Wales — but viewers know that’s far from true.
Across social media, worried fans voiced their concerns:
“Where the hell is Kojo?!” one viewer demanded on X.
Another wrote, “Is Kojo going to be killed off or is Harry going to kill Okie from being chained up? This storyline is getting too dark.”
A third added, “Okie is seriously playing with fire getting closer to Gina like this! If she knew what he’d done with Harry, she’d stay well away.”
While some fans praised the tense performances from Elijah Holloway and Aayan Shoderu, others said the plot has become “too grim” and “needs to end soon.”
Viewers Call for Resolution
The drug-running story, which began months ago, has steadily become one of EastEnders’ darkest arcs in recent years. Between Harry’s abduction, Ravi’s violent tactics, and Okie’s manipulations, viewers are calling for justice — and closure.
“We’ve had enough misery in Walford,” one fan posted. “It’s time Ravi got what’s coming to him and Harry got home safe.”
What Happens Next?
With tensions at breaking point, next week’s episodes promise major fallout.
- Will Teddy’s hidden camera footage resurface — and save Harry?
- Has Kojo fallen victim to Ravi and Okie’s wrath?
- And will Gina discover Okie’s dark secret before it’s too late?
Whatever happens, Walford’s criminal underworld is on the verge of exploding — and fans are bracing themselves for even more chaos before the dust settles.
