Okie’s twisted new plan to make Harry suffer in EastEnders as he targets Gina
Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway) is in a bad way in EastEnders as he finds himself at the (very little) mercy of Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) and Okie Okyere (Aayan Ibikunle Shoderu).
Harry has found himself way out of his depth after getting involved in Ravi’s fledgling drug operation, initially to protect his his best friend Kojo Asare (Dayo Koleosho), who flushed Ravi’s stash.
His plan to keep Kojo safe ultimately failed, however, when Ravi and Okie began to cuckoo him, infiltrating his flat and using it as a permanent base for the nefarious activities.
When Okie suffered a vicious beating at the hands of a rival drug gang, Harry turned to his fearsome mum, Nicola Mitchell (Laura Doddington), who brashly managed to extricate Harry from Ravi’s operation, though he was less than prepared to let Kojo’s flat slip from his grasp.
Returning home from a weekend away with girlfriend Gina Knight (Francesca Henry), Harry was horrified to find Kojo was still being used by Ravi. He decided to rope in his dad, Teddy Mitchell’s (Roland Manookian), who planted a hidden camera in the flat.
When Harry vanished, Teddy turned to George Knight (Colin Salmon) for help, though the pair settled when the received a phone call from Harry. He doesn’t reveal, however, that he’s being held hostage in a lock-up by Ravi and Okie, where they plan to keep him until he reveals where the camera footage is being sourced.
While Harry eventually relents and Okie retrieves the laptop, he’s chilled when Ravi decides not to free him.
After receiving word from Okie that rival drug dealers are planning revenge for them selling on their turf, a panicked Ravi suggests to Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy) that they take a family holiday.
Okie is thrilled to be left in charge of the operation, and his first move is to soundly ignore Ravi’s order to let Harry go.
Instead, he takes the time to further Harry’s torture, informing him of his plan to seduce his girlfriend, Gina, revelling in his agony when he drops the bomb on Harry that he’ll be taking her on a date.
While having a drink with Okie, however, sharp Gina deduces that there’s something going on, sharing with sister Anna Knight (Molly Rainford) that she’s convinced something has happened with Harry.
In a bid to escape his reality in the face of Okie’s torment, Harry asks Okie for drugs.
Will Gina’s involvement in the poisonous crime ring place her in danger? What impact will Harry’s drug use have on him? Will he escape Ravi and Okie alive?
