EastEnders<\/a> spoilers follow for Thursday\u2019s episode (8 January), which is available to watch now on streaming service BBC iPlayer and hasn\u2019t yet aired on TV.<\/p>\n

EastEnders has revealed which character gets attacked as a result of Ravi Gulati\u2019s frightening hallucinations. This week, Nicola and Harry Mitchell took revenge on Ravi<\/a> by spiking his drink with dangerous drugs, with Harry dragging him into the pit in the garage in a vulnerable state.<\/p>\n

But Harry was forced to leave the garage, leaving Ravi locked in alone. He began to experience scary visions and even heard the voice of his evil late father Nish<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While only Navin Chowdhry\u2019s voice was credited in yesterday\u2019s instalment, the actor made a proper appearance in today\u2019s episode<\/a>. Ravi was in complete turmoil as he heard the voices of familiar faces, then came face to face with his villainous dad in the garage.<\/p>\n

As Ravi\u2019s hallucinations intensified, he hid in a car but discovered that Nish was sat in the driver\u2019s seat. “I told you,” Nish said to his terrified son, “nobody beats me.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Ravi\u2019s family continued to search for him around the Square. Nicola discovered that Ravi was missing and agreed to help Nugget find him. The pair chatted in McKlunky\u2019s, and Nicola attempted to convince Nugget that Ravi is trouble, but Nugget stormed out.<\/p>\n

Ravi managed to escape through the back of the garage, but his visions of Nish continued in an alleyway. He burst into tears and asked his dad why he left him as a child \u2013 but Nish told Ravi that it should have been him who fell to his death at Suki and Eve\u2019s wedding<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In his hallucination, Nish tried to strangle Ravi, so he hit back and brutally attacked his dad. But of course, Nish wasn\u2019t really there \u2013 and Ravi had instead unwittingly attacked his son Nugget.<\/p>\n

While Harry and Nicola panicked about Ravi going missing, Vinny was horrified to find Nugget left for dead and sounded the alarm.<\/p>\n

Nugget was brought into hospital in a critical condition, and when devastated Priya arrived, Vinny told her that her son had been put in a coma and was being taken to intensive care.<\/p>\n

“Who\u2019s done this?” Priya pleaded. “Who\u2019s done this to my boy?”<\/p>\n

Back in Walford, Ravi continued to stumble around the Square, still affected by the spiking, and he fell into a pile of rubbish. Will he realise what he has done to his own son?<\/a><\/p>\n

EastEnders airs on Mondays – Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast.<\/p>\n
