Ravi piles on the pressure in EastEnders spoilers

Over the last few weeks viewers have seen Harry getting sucked further into Ravi’s dangerous world. He’s now working with dealer Okie to repay the debt he owes to Ravi for the drugs that went missing at The Arches. Kojo may have been the one who flushed the stash down the loo, but Harry took the rap in order to protect him.

The last thing Harry wants is for Kojo to be be involved. But his worst fears are confirmed when he learns Okie and Ravi have been using his friend’s flat as a base for their illegal activities.

Elaine is caught in the crossfire

Meanwhile, George is concerned to see Kojo sporting a flash new watch, purchased by his ‘new mate’ Okie. The time piece clearly cost a lot and George wants to know if Okie is trying to buy favour with his brother.

Not wanting to seem like he’s interfering, George is grateful when estranged wife Elaine offers to do some investigating. She heads over to see Kojo at The Arches, but is shocked to discover him surrounded by a group of threatening lads. As Elaine tries to intervene and help, she’s thrown to the ground. Moments later, Okie arrives on the scene (what are the chances?!) and manages to chase the thugs away.

Afterwards, grateful Elaine and Kojo tell George and Harry all about Okie’s heroic actions. Kojo then hands Okie the keys to his flat, unaware that he’s already using the property.

Will George realise what Kojo has done? Or is he too busy with new lover Nicola to notice?
