EastEnders viewers were left distracted by Ravi Gulati following his earlier attack
EastEnders viewers were left puzzled as Ravi Gulati made a reappearance on Thursday (November 13), following his assault by George Knight.
Earlier in the week on the BBC soap, Okie Okyere’s reign of terror, portrayed by Aayan Ibikunle Shoderu, came to a brutal and bloody conclusion when he was inadvertently stabbed by Harry Mitchell, played by Elijah Holloway.
The violent confrontation between the two men took place after Harry was finally freed from Okie’s captivity, where he was forced to consume drugs.
It was also disclosed that Kojo Asare, played by Dayo Koleosho, had been coerced into peddling drugs by local kingpin Ravi, portrayed by Aaron Thiara.
Before Okie met his end, he also brandished a knife at Kojo, demanding to know what he had revealed to the police, leaving him petrified.

On Tuesday (November 11), retired boxer George (Colin Salmon) paid a visit to Ravi after his brother Kojo was left rattled by the entire incident, reports OK!.
Ravi, who had been released by the police on the condition of acting as an informant, sarcastically apologised to George for not being behind bars while offering him a pint.
George quickly jumped to Kojo’s defence, declaring him as “He is the kindest man I’ve ever met”, before labelling Ravi as the “lowest man” he’d ever encountered.
He then cautioned Ravi to keep his distance from Kojo and his family before exiting the premises.
However, as George reached the front door, Ravi cruelly taunted Kojo for being autistic.
In response, George landed a punch on Ravi’s face but refrained from causing any serious harm.
On Thursday’s episode (November 13), Junior Knight, played by Micah Balfour, paid a visit to Ravi to warn him off Kojo.
Upon opening the door, Ravi appeared sheepish and sported a striking purple bruise around his eye, courtesy of George, which immediately caught the attention of viewers.
One viewer took to social media, questioning: “Are they being serious with that make-up bruising on Ravi?? #EastEnders.”
Another quipped: “When Ravi opened the door and revealed his eye. #EastEnders.”
A third commented: “What in the hell makeup is that on Ravi #eastenders.”
“Ravi with a pink/lilac shiner, who punched him? My little pony? #EastEnders”, one fan added.
Another viewer remarked: “Ravi’s. PURPLE! supposedly black eye. Ridiculous makeup. #EastEnders.”
