It was a chaotic night in Albert Square tonight, as EastEnders fans were left gobsmacked as they witnessed two dramatic showdowns and a scene they thought would be left until Christmas Day.
Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) and Ross Marshall (Alex Walkinshaw) were up first as the former found out his daughter, Avani had slept with Ross’ son Joel. Ravi’s revelation came as he overheard Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) disclose the information to Avani’s mum Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy).
As soon as he heard the news, Ravi stormed out of the house running after Joel, who begged “Mr. Gulati” to leave him alone. Ross then pounced on Ravi as he warned him never to come near his son again.
Ravi, however is yet to find out that Joel secretly recorded his intimate encounter with Avani. But when he does, fans think it’s going to be “the end” for Joel.

However, surprisingly that wasn’t the most dramatic moment of the night. Cut to the Queen Vic and Kathy and Harvey’s affair was exposed by Cindy. The cunning character played a video of the pair kissing for all to see on the screen in the Queen Vic, a scene that fans are comparing Max Branning and Stacey Slater’s affair being exposed on Christmas Day 2007.
Learning that Cindy had the video during Tuesday’s episode, Kathy gave in and agreed to sign over the Albert to Cindy, who promised she’d delete the video.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan penned: “OMG TONIGHT’S DUFF DUFF! It’s like Christmas Day all over again,” as another said: “Cindy did not play around I’m glad it got exposed finally instead of waiting till Christmas #EastEnders”. Another agreed: “looool ok Cindy didn’t f**k about there thank GOD i thought that video was gonna be floating around until Christmas #EastEnders.”

Others couldn’t believe how “chaotic” the episode was as they took to Reddit to discuss. “The chaos! The chaos!”, exclaimed one. “As if Ross could take Ravi though,” while another penned: “That episode was just chaos, what is going on?”
The dramatic scenes in the Vic come after Jean proposed to Harvey. The two were in the Vic celebrating their very short lived engagement before Cindy came to drop the bomb.
Following the revelations, fans have been left concerned for Jean as they worry how it’s going to affect her mental health. Following yesterday’s episode, one fan wrote: “Now we know Harvey’s secret is at risk of coming to light thanks to Cindy – I just hope this doesn’t lead towards Jean having another manic episode especially when tensions are so fragile between the Slaters right now.”
Fans will have to wait until tomorrow to see how the drama unfolds…
EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
