Nugget returns and confronts dad Ravi about being a murderer in EastEnders

RAVI Gulati has been worried sick about his son Nugget who vanished after making a shocking discovery.

However, the lad returns in upcoming EastEnders scenes airing next week and confronts his father once and for all.

Nugget Gulati (played by Juhaim Rasul Choudhury) was devastated to find out his father was a murderer and vanished into the night, leaving Ravi (Aaron Thiara) beside himself.

As regular soap viewers will remember, Ravi murdered the man who raised him, Ranveer Gulati in 2022, before it was revealed Nish Panesar was his biological father.

Soon after the teen's disappearance, the police moved heaven and earth to look for him but Nugget has yet to be found on the BBC One soap.

There is a new development next week as Ravi bumps into Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) and learns Nugget has been sighted.

Ravi heads to No.41 to share the good news as Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) receives a secret call from Nugget where she agrees to meet him.

The businesswoman told Nugget that Ravi was responsible for the death of Ranveer Gulati and has been the only Albert Square resident able to get in touch with him during his absence.

Ravi grows suspicious of Suki’s behaviour and a furious row breaks out as he accuses her of knowing Nugget’s whereabouts, but she covers before later revealing all to her husband Nish (Navin Chowdhry).

Nish is notorious for his abusive and controlling attitude towards Suki, how will he react when she decides to open up to him?

Later, Ravi spots Nish and Suki making a speedy getaway and asks Jack to follow his father's car.

Ravi arrives quickly behind the pair to rumble the meet but is shocked when Nugget’s mother Priya enters the flat where he’s been hiding.

Actress Sophie Khan Levy will make her EastEnders debut next week as Ravi's former girlfriend Priya and the mother of Nugget... and their secret daughter Avani (Aaliyah James).

Ravi is shocked to see Priya and drags Nugget back to Walford.

Back home, Suki admits to Nish that she believes Denise’s accusations against Ravi but there's no guarantee the businessman will be just as convinced.

Priya later arrives in Walford looking for Nugget as the police arrive to question him on his reasons for leaving.

Nugget demands answers from Ravi but he denies everything, which prompts him to look for confirmation from Suki.

Later on, Priya storms out as Ravi and Nugget quickly follow but they’re shocked to be greeted by Avani, Priya and Ravi’s daughter, who Ravi had no idea existed.

Will Ravi ever confess to killing Ranveer?

EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
