Okie working undercover for the police to bring Ravi down, fans predict

Is Okie working against Ravi?
Joel Harley

A new EastEnders fan theory has predicted that drug dealer Okie is working undercover for the police to bring down his boss, Ravi Gulati. In last night’s episode (Monday, August 18), Okie continued to manipulate Kojo by getting him to agree to the use of his flat for Ravi’s drug operation.

Harry was horrified to learn what Okie and Ravi had planned for Kojo, but helpless to stop them from moving in.

Between his manipulation of Kojo and his helping Ravi to shift the drugs before they could be caught, Okie has proved invaluable to the business. But is he hiding something?

Okie working for the police, fans predict

Unpacking yesterday’s events on a Reddit thread, some fans wondered how Okie had managed to escape prosecution after being caught red handed by Jack and the police. To some, this was a sign that he might secretly be working against Ravi.

“I might be stupid but shouldn’t Okie be locked up rn he literally got caught in possession with drugs?” asked one fan.

“I reckon Okie is undercover,” another answered.

“Maybe he’s turned informant and will screw Ravi over?” suggested another.

“Makes sense as to why he’s encouraging ravi to sell more on bank holiday,” one viewer speculated.

Okie gives Kojo drugs in EastEnders tonight

As the story continues tonight (Tuesday, August 18), Kojo is horrified to find his flat taken over by drug dealers. This comes after George lets him down, after promising to take Kojo out for his birthday. Distracted by Nicola’s charms (among other things), George is a no-show for Kojo.

Returning home, Kojo is aghast to find that Okie’s pals are all over his home. Trying to calm panicking Kojo down, Okie offers him a pill, which he reluctantly accepts.

Later, a horrified George finds Kojo in a terrible state, and realises that he has taken drugs. Will Kojo be okay?
