Tuesday’s episode of EastEnders left viewers on the edge of their seats as Kojo Asare mysteriously disappeared, adding a perilous twist to his ongoing drug saga on the BBC One soap.

Long-time fans will recall that Kojo’s (Dayo Koleosho) flat has been commandeered by Okie (Aayan Ibikunle Shoderu) as a base for Ravi Gulati’s (Aaron Thiara) drug operations, with Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) reluctantly roped in.

Kojo has already found himself in hot water after sampling drugs supplied by the scheming dealer Okie, leading to his brother George Knight (Colin Salmon) discovering him in a state of confusion in the Square’s gardens.

Since then, George has grown increasingly wary of Harry and his interactions with Okie, despite Kojo’s attempts to allay his fears.

On Monday (September 15), George spotted Okie entering Kojo’s flat and decided to investigate, only to find himself locked out.

The ex-boxer managed to get hold of a key to Kojo’s flat but found no signs of any illicit activities, fuelling his suspicions further, reports Plymouth Live.

Later, Harry informed drug kingpin Ravi about George’s growing doubts, prompting Ravi to issue a menacing warning to George.

In Tuesday’s episode (September 16), Harry tried to persuade George to accept a job commentating on a boxing tour, hoping it would take him away from Walford.

Later, Harry paid a visit to Ravi and revealed that George suffers from CTE, warning him that a single punch could be fatal. However, Ravi dismissed the cautionary advice.

They then tasked Kojo with assisting Okie in transporting some drugs, while Harry attempted to persuade Ravi to leave Kojo be.

Later on, Harry found himself at Harry’s Barn, nursing a drink when Ravi walked in. Shortly after, Okie returned from the job without Kojo but with all the money.

Okie admitted that he had lost Kojo during their return journey and had to abandon him due to heavy police presence. Overcome with worry, Harry rushed out to search for his vulnerable mate. Is Kojo in peril?

EastEnders enthusiasts are now imploring Harry to inform his violent mum, Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington), about Ravi and Okie’s activities so she can put an end to their drug dealings.

Viewers will recall that Nicola introduced Ravi to the drug scene and has also killed before.

One EastEnders fan voiced their confusion on X: “What I don’t understand in this whole Harry/Kojo/Ravi thing is where are Teddy and Nicola. I thought they were supposed to be some sort of gangsters #eastenders.”

Another viewer clarified: “Yeah, Ravi turned to Nicola for help with a drug contact – Nicola gave him Okie, but Harry doesn’t know the contact came from her yet. With Nicola aware of the situation Harry is in, I can definitely see Teddy and Nicola teaming up to protect Harry at some point.”

A third questioned: “Why has Harry not called her may I ask? She’d have Ravi and Okie sorted out within the hour #EastEnders.”

“Harry is a bit pathetic. FGS, just tell Nicola, Teddy, and George about Ravi and Okie. Nicola could probably finish them off with one hand tied behind her back and glass of wine in the other! #EastEnders”, another viewer chimed in.
