EastEnders fans were left completely stunned after the latest episode dropped a brutal and unexpected twist — Ravi Gulati viciously

attacking Joel Marshall in a shocking scene that no one saw coming. What began as a tense confrontation quickly spiraled into one of the

most violent and emotional moments Walford has seen all year, and the aftermath is set to shake every corner of Albert Square.

A Brewing Storm

 

 

Tensions between Ravi and Joel have been building for weeks, ever since Joel’s manipulative behavior and dangerous connections began putting those close to him in danger. While Ravi has always been known for his short temper and dark past, he’s tried to keep his head down lately — focusing on his family and staying out of trouble.

 

 

But when it comes to protecting the people he loves, Ravi has always had a breaking point. And in Monday night’s episode, that point finally arrived.

It all started with a heated argument outside Peggy’s bar, where Joel cornered Ravi over recent events involving Avani, Ravi’s daughter. Joel

 

 

made the fatal mistake of taunting Ravi, hinting that he knew more about Avani’s secret troubles than he should. Those words were enough to ignite Ravi’s fury.

The Attack That Shook Walford

What followed was one of the most intense and emotional confrontations in EastEnders this year.

 

 

As Joel smirked and provoked him further, Ravi snapped — grabbing him by the collar before landing several devastating punches. The scene, captured in raw, cinematic style, left viewers speechless. Bloodied and gasping for breath, Joel stumbled backward, crashing into nearby bins as Ravi’s rage boiled over.

“You think you can mess with my family and walk away?” Ravi shouted, his voice trembling with fury. “You’ve got no idea who you’re dealing with.”

Joel, desperate and shaken, tried to fight back, but Ravi overpowered him — a chilling reminder of his past as Walford’s most feared man.

By the time Nish and Eve arrived on the scene, Joel was lying unconscious on the ground, and Ravi’s hands were covered in blood. The tension in that moment was palpable, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats as the camera zoomed in on Ravi’s face — equal parts shock and horror at what he’d just done.

Avani’s Horror and Guilt

The next day, the repercussions hit hard. Avani, terrified for both her father and Joel, breaks down when she learns what happened. She feels responsible, believing her earlier arguments with Joel pushed things too far.

Ravi tries to reassure her, insisting he acted to protect her, but Avani can’t shake the guilt. In one heartbreaking scene, she whispers to Denise:

“He did it because of me… because I couldn’t stay quiet.”

This emotional fallout is set to push Avani into one of her darkest storylines yet — torn between loyalty to her father and her conscience.
