Recent EastEnders scenes gave fans a deeper look into Okie’s past, as he continues to hold Harry captive despite Ravi’s orders to release him.

In Ravi’s absence, Okie seems to be relishing his newfound power and he’s particularly enjoying tormenting Harry. So much so, that he’s even started dating Harry’s girlfriend Gina.

On Thursday (October 16), fans saw them on their second date at the Vic, where Okie revealed details about his family for the first time.

After hearing Okie’s backstory, fans claim they’ve figured out who his father is – and they believe it’s someone familiar.

During their date, Okie was initially hesitant to open up to Gina, but when she expressed her frustration with his “silent moody type,” he decided to share more, reports the Mirror.

“I didn’t really know my pops until I was nine. Mum said he was never any good but when I did meet him, that guy demanded respect. He showed me off to everyone. Spoiled me as well – bought me trainers, clothes. He died when I was 14,” he shared.

“Word on road is, he got stabbed with his own knife in some petty scuffle. After that Mum just snapped. Gone missing for days on end. Left me and my brother to take care of our little sister, Dejia, by ourselves. No love. No help.”

Upon hearing this tale, fans think they’ve figured out who his dad is.. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan speculated: “Farfetched, but I think okie is Vincent’s son,” to which another responded: “Ohhhhh..

“Don’t say it… Is Vincent Okie’s dad? ?” said a third, as another said: “Ohh this just sparked off a right little rabbit hole of pondering for me. Vincent dealt drugs, laundered money, and often disappeared — so the writers could easily retcon Okie as his son. They’ve certainty done far less plausible things.

“Yesss it lines up!” exclaimed another.

Vincent, portrayed by Richard Blackwood, met his demise off screen seven years ago.

His demise and departure remained shrouded in mystery back in 2018, when his storyline with baddie Aidan Maguire took a sinister twist.

After becoming a grass and revealing everything he knew about the criminal to police, the plan was to enter witness protection but his wife Kim declined.

Vincent tried to tell the waiting officers that he was staying, but the corrupt officers—who were secretly working for Aidan—grabbed him and sped away with him in the car.

A firearm was aimed at him, and viewers never witnessed what occurred next but it was suggested he’d been murdered.

Earlier this year, Tameka Empson (Kim Fox) hinted that her former partner might return after leaving the show.
