EastEnders fans see Ravi Gulati\u2019s mental health continue to deteriorate<\/a> next week, prompting him to instigate a siege at the local pharmacy. After Nugget suffers another frightening seizure, Ravi hits rock bottom and impulsively locks a number of Walford residents in the shop. Will his rash actions put anyone else in danger?<\/p>\n

“The pharmacy is in lockdown, and Ravi\u2019s losing control,” says our EastEnders insider. “The various stresses in his life have taken their toll, so he panics and resorts to desperate measures. No one can leave until he gets what he wants\u2026”<\/p>\n

Ravi is still secretly working with the police as an informant in the drugs operation \u2013 with Mark working to sniff out the mole in the gang<\/a>. Meanwhile, Ravi feels he needs work to provide for his family, so this week he decides to apply for a job at the car lot.<\/p>\n

Ravi swots up on his selling skills and gets ready for his big interview with Lauren. But when he turns up, he is horrified to discover that it is Lauren\u2019s dad Max who will be grilling him!<\/p>\n
