EastEnders Star Forced Into Dramatic Exit Decision
In a devastating turn of events on November 19, 2025, EastEnders' Ravi Gulati reached breaking point, making a decision that could see him leave Walford for good. The dramatic episode followed the shocking fallout from Okie's death at the hands of Teddy Mitchell, an event that has sent shockwaves through the Square and intensified police scrutiny on the Mitchell and Panesar families.
A Dangerous Double Life Unravels
The pressure on Ravi escalated critically after Harry chose to cooperate with the police, providing information that connected Ravi to dangerous criminals. To avoid prison, Ravi was forced into becoming a police informant, playing a perilous double game. The consequences of this decision became brutally clear when Ravi returned home severely beaten.
He was met by Jack Branning, who questioned whether Ravi's attackers believed his cover story and if he could continue feeding information to the police. A grim and breathless Ravi replied that they must have believed him, otherwise he would be dead. This moment starkly highlighted the extreme danger of his new reality—informing on the very men who had just violently assaulted him.
A Family Confronts a Harsh Reality
Priya discovered Ravi moments later and was horrified by his injuries. As she tended to his wounds, Ravi promised to keep everyone safe, but his typical cool demeanour had vanished, replaced by genuine fear. The situation became undeniably real when Avani and Nugget arrived home and saw Ravi's battered state. For the first time, he could not hide the violent world he was entangled in, and the entire family understood that the situation was spiralling beyond his control.
An overwhelmed Priya admitted she still loved him, insisting they face the threat together as a family. However, Ravi had already reached a heartbreaking conclusion.
The Heartbreaking Farewell
After the beating, the ongoing threats, and the growing chaos following Okie's death, Ravi made a final decision for his family's safety. He told Priya and the children that he must leave Walford. His plan was blunt: they would stay at Suki's house, away from him, while he attempted to 'sort things out'.
Despite their protests, Ravi stood firm, explaining that the people he was dealing with were far more dangerous than they realised. As long as he was trapped between the criminals he pretended to work for and the police he secretly informed for, his family remained targets. Distance, he believed, was the only protection he could now offer.
Once his family left the room, Ravi finally broke down alone, clutching a family photo in a raw, emotional moment that revealed the true cost of his actions. Tonight's episode leaves Ravi's future in EastEnders uncertain, with his planned departure potentially being a one-way trip out of Walford.
