An Albert Square resident is embracing a fresh opportunity after experiencing weeks of misfortune.
After months of ongoing worry about her family, it looks like Priya Nandra-Hart is set to take on a new role, even as her boyfriend’s troubles spiral further. But could more chaos be on the horizon?
In recent EastEnders scenes, Priya (Sophie Khan Levy) was furious to discover that her partner—and father of her two children—Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) has been acting as a police informant for Jack Branning (Scott Maslen).
While Ravi repeatedly puts their household at risk, their son Nugget (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury) suffered a seizure and was rushed to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with epilepsy after being viciously attacked by his father following a spiking incident.
Meanwhile, Mark Fowler (Stephen Aaron-Sipple) has arrived in Walford, trying to uncover the identity of a mole within their criminal circle, as Ravi struggles to pay the bills after failing to secure steady work.
In upcoming EastEnders scenes, Ravi continues to struggle with his mental health, while Jack worries he may not be capable of handling his latest police informant duties, reports OK!.
When Ravi is tasked with getting involved in a drug operation, he feels guilty at the thought that Mark could be caught by the police.
Although Ravi decides to warn Mark about the impending raid, Priya arrives at Harry’s Barn, and the pair leave the pub to head home, where she urges him to stay quiet about the police.
Priya and Ravi remain at odds over whether he should inform Mark. However, Priya finally gets a break when Lauren Beale (Jacqueline Jossa) offers her a job at the motor dealership.
Could Priya end up closer to the Branning family as she begins her new career in sales?
Since the New Year’s Day flash-forward, EastEnders fans have been speculating that Priya might either have an affair with or marry Max Branning (Jake Wood) as he prepares for another wedding on 1 January 2027.
Throughout the episode, the identities of Max’s bride-to-be and his expectant mistress were kept a mystery. Could Priya be one of these women?
One fan shared their theory on X: “My pregnancy predictions for this year. I’m still convinced Priya is the pregnant woman in Max’s bed that he’s protecting! #EastEnders.”
Another fan wrote: “OK, I’m calling it now — Max’s bride will be Linda, he’s expecting a baby with Priya, and Ravi is the gunman. #EastEnders,” while a third added: “The theories about Priya and Max getting together are still going strong #EastEnders.”
One more viewer speculated: “A second wedding on New Year’s Day could bring Priya and Ravi further into Max’s storyline… Watch Priya be the one who sleeps with Max — I just hope she’s not pregnant by him. #EastEnders.”
