Nugget Gulati Ravi Gulati Share By Claire Crick Jan 20 2026 By Claire Crick Jan 20 2026 Eagle-eyed EastEnders fans have spotted a huge plot hole in the latest Nugget storyline that is just waiting to tear the Gulati family apart. Poor Nugget has been struggling since he was attacked in the street and left for dead. And understandably so. Not only was his attack unprovoked, but he was also doing a good deed at the time, looking for his missing dad. But what the teenager doesn’t know is that the person who left him with a bleed on the brain was his own father. The shocking attack came when Ravi was under the influence, having been drugged by Nicola and Harry Mitchell in a revenge plot. Ravi started hallucinating that his dead dad, Nish, was tormenting him from beyond the grave, and he mistook his son for his late father.

It’ll make Ravi feel worse the more his guilt rises,” said one fan on X. Another agreed: “I understand Priya wants to protect Nugget, but there is a big chance he could remember what happened.” While a third viewer added: “I actually agree with Ravi’s take on telling Nugget what happened. Nugget is already suspicious and will eventually connect the dots. At least telling him earlier is less damage than later.” Nugget has a panic attack in the Square (Credit: BBC/Jack Barns/Kieron McCarron) EastEnders: Nugget faces more trauma Today’s episode (Tuesday, January 20) sees Nugget leave the house for the first time. He heads off to meet his friends, despite Priya being concerned it’s too soon. And it turns out she is right. The reality of being out in the Square is too much for the teen. He starts to have flashbacks to the night someone attacked him, panicking that it will happen again. Thankfully, his best friend, Denzel, finds him in the middle of a panic attack and rushes to get help. Thankfully, Suki is close by and calms Nugget down. But it looks like his road to recovery is going to be much longer than anyone realised. Could Nugget soon put two and two together and work out the real reason his dad can’t look him in the eye?
