EastEnders nightmare as Walford favourite takes drugs in horror scenes
As viewers of the BBC One soap know, Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) returned to the narcotics underworld when Bernie Taylor (Clair Norris) stole a significant amount of cash from the family's businesses, effectively leaving them on the brink of bankruptcy.
After receiving a contact – and a stark warning – from Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington), he hid the stash in his car and employed associate Okie (Aayan Ibikunle Shoderu) to distribute them.
Ravi then made a deal with Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) to keep the vehicle in The Arches… and it wasn't long before the drugs were discovered by Kojo.
Spooked by the situation, he took the drugs home and flushed them down the loo. Harry has since had to implement some damage control by working for Ravi and save his best mate's skin.
Recent scenes have shown Okie lurking around Kojo's flat, adamant to use it as a base for his misbehaviour.
In upcoming scenes, Ravi plans a family day out with Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy) and their kids – but those plans are stunted when Okie reveals that the police have just raided their base.
In a panic, Ravi decides to shift the whole operation into Kojo's flat, infuriating Harry.
Back at home, Priya tears into Ravi for letting daughters Avani (Aaliyah James) down, but the row quickly turns into something a lot steamier. At long last!
After, Ravi swears blind he's going to go straight and get their lives back on track. They even agree to give it another go. But with the bills stacking up and the tax man knocking at Walford East's door, it's not long before he's back in business, ramping up his drug deals behind Priya's back.
Later in the week, it's Kojo's birthday and Harry's job is to keep him distracted from returning home.
Over at The Vic, George (Colin Salmon) and the Knights are raising a glass for the birthday boy. But when George gets distracted, Kojo heads home – and walks straight into Okie's makeshift drugs den.

George later finds his brother in a bad way, and things go from bad to worse when Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) shows up and clocks that Kojo's been using – and he has no choice but to arrest him.
George, convinced Harry's behind the whole mess, goes digging for answers – pulling Nicola and his daughter Gina (Francesca Henry) into the drama in the process.
And while Ravi orders Harry to get Kojo back onside, Harry plays the caring friend card, promising nothing bad will happen to him.

Destination X viewers 'fuming' over show's 'unfair twist' - as favourite risks exit
Destination X fans have been left fuming over the BBC show's latest episode, as contestant Josh was given an 'unfair advantage' which puts fan favourite Nick at risk It was another tense night in Destination X tonight, as the BBC show aired its fifth episode of the series. Fans were left on a massive cliffhanger by host Rob Brydon, after the episode left them fuming. The huge twist saw Josh was given the chance to sabotage someone and move their X 250km away from the point they chose. Josh opted to choose former athlete Nick - who has shown his ability and strength throughout the course of the show. Usually, fans will see who goes at the end of each episode, but they'll have to wait a little while longer this week. It comes after Destination X fans 'work out winner' after spotting 'clue' in episode four. The good thing for fans is that they won't have to wait too much longer to see who goes, with the next episode airing tomorrow night on BBC One. Fans are now worried that Nick may be kicked out after being sabotaged, as they took to X, formerly known as Twitter to discuss. "Well, josh is going to sabotage nick isn't he? #destinationx," guessed one before he had even chosen. Another, who thought the advantage was unfair, said: "Whoever gets their X moved should get to come back in the final and move a remaining player's X". "Moving the X is so unfair. Nick will be gone," a third wrote, as another agreed: "This is such an unfair power this isn't Big Brother it should be a case where players can basically eliminate others." " #destinationX Moving someone's marker is s**t. I'm going off this programme now," said another, while one penned: "Josh sabotaging Nick… are we surprised..." At the end of the episodes, whichever contestant guesses the furthest from the correct locale is kicked off the bus, and their journey comes to a sad end. Therefore, with Nick's X being moved so far away from the position he chose, will his journey come to an end? It's not the first episode that fans have had a complaint to make about the show. Last week, fans all took to X to complain that they were 'getting annoyed' with the show and the sheer lack of knowledge that the contestants seemed to possess. One viewer took to X to say: "Getting annoyed with #DestinationX - the lack of knowledge is appalling!" Another said: "I assume it's deliberate in this show that they picked contestants who know absolutely nothing about European languages or Geography, but it's still very frustrating to watch."

EastEnders' Phil leaves Julie shaken in outburst as they clash over Nigel
Tensions between EastEnders' Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) and Julie Bates (Karen Henthorn) reach boiling point next week as Phil drops a bombshell about Nigel Bates' (Paul Bradley). Julie was recently reunited with her estranged husband Nigel, who had walked out on their life together in a bid to hide his dementia diagnosis from her. While she had planned to take him back home to Scotland to look after him, Nigel ultimately decided he wanted to stay in Walford with his old friend Phil, who he had been living with since returning to the BBC soap after 27 years at Christmas. Ultimately, Phil invited Julie to move in with him and Nigel at No.18, but things haven't exactly been smooth sailing between the pair. After a short trip back to Scotland, Nigel and Julie arrive back on the Square with their three pet chickens next week, and Phil is soon struggling with the new dynamic in his household. As Julie gets busy organising everything and making decisions, Phil gets annoyed that she's changing Nigel's routine. He's further agitated when the chickens keep everyone awake, making his relationship with Julie even more strained. When the pair both accompany Nigel to an assessment, he gets stressed by their constant sniping, which results in an almighty clash between Phil and Julie over their different approaches to Nigel's care. But Phil then has an outburst which leaves Julie shocked to the core, and she's left demanding answers about the revelation. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?
