back again EastEnders fan-favourite making explosive return three months after disappearing – as Max and Priya’s affair heats up

Fans will be excited to learn that Ravi Gulati will be making a comeback after disappearing earlier this year.

The killer, played by actor Aaron Thiara, disappeared from the Square in May but The Sun can reveal he will be back on screen later this month – and straight back into the drama.

Ravi suffered a breakdown after his drugs ordeal pushed him to breaking point and entered a rehab facility.

But after hurting his own son Nugget, Ravi decided to cut ties with Walford and flee.

However just three months later he is set to make a shock comeback.

A source said: “Ravi left destruction in his wake when he left, and his family have moved on.

“He’s about to walk into girlfriend Priya’s affair with Max Branning that’s set to run until the New Year and the flashforward.

“It puts Ravi at the centre of a huge storyline that will run for months.”

The Sun has contacted EastEnders for comment.

Fans will last remember seeing Ravi on-screen when he slept with his ex Priya – one month after they called off their relationship.

But after they briefly reunited, she was left stunned to see him packing a bag as he prepared to walk out on her amid his mental health struggles.

He explained that he was leaving Walford, and that he had written this in a letter that Priya had never opened.

Ravi explained that he needed to set her free so that he could continue healing on his own after his time in the mental health unit.

He then told a heartbroken Priya that he thought she knew his return was just to say goodbye and asked her not to make things harder.

Since then, fans know that Priya has also found herself entangled with Max Branning – and is set to find herself central to the major New Year plot involving him.
