EastEnders is lining up a horrific development in the ongoing dealing storyline, when Kojo Asare (Dayo Koleosho) is handed drugs.
As viewers of the BBC One soap know, Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) returned to the narcotics underworld when Bernie Taylor (Clair Norris) stole a significant amount of cash from the family’s businesses, effectively leaving them on the brink of bankruptcy.
After receiving a contact – and a stark warning – from Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington), he hid the stash in his car and employed associate Okie (Aayan Ibikunle Shoderu) to distribute them.
Ravi then made a deal with Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) to keep the vehicle in The Arches… and it wasn’t long before the drugs were discovered by Kojo.
Spooked by the situation, he took the drugs home and flushed them down the loo. Harry has since had to implement some damage control by working for Ravi and save his best mate’s skin.
Recent scenes have shown Okie lurking around Kojo’s flat, adamant to use it as a base for his misbehaviour.
In upcoming scenes, Ravi plans a family day out with Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy) and their kids – but those plans are stunted when Okie reveals that the police have just raided their base.
In a panic, Ravi decides to shift the whole operation into Kojo’s flat, infuriating Harry.
Back at home, Priya tears into Ravi for letting daughters Avani (Aaliyah James) down, but the row quickly turns into something a lot steamier. At long last!
After, Ravi swears blind he’s going to go straight and get their lives back on track. They even agree to give it another go. But with the bills stacking up and the tax man knocking at Walford East’s door, it’s not long before he’s back in business, ramping up his drug deals behind Priya’s back.
Later in the week, it’s Kojo’s birthday and Harry’s job is to keep him distracted from returning home.
Over at The Vic, George (Colin Salmon) and the Knights are raising a glass for the birthday boy. But when George gets distracted, Kojo heads home – and walks straight into Okie’s makeshift drugs den.

Panicking, Okie hands him a pill in the hope it will calm him down.
George later finds his brother in a bad way, and things go from bad to worse when Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) shows up and clocks that Kojo’s been using – and he has no choice but to arrest him.
George, convinced Harry’s behind the whole mess, goes digging for answers – pulling Nicola and his daughter Gina (Francesca Henry) into the drama in the process.
And while Ravi orders Harry to get Kojo back onside, Harry plays the caring friend card, promising nothing bad will happen to him.
Will Kojo be ok, and will George realise what is happening?
