EastEnders spoilers follow.
Priya Nandra-Hart and Ravi Gulati have been reunited in today’s EastEnders, but things might be a little more complicated than they first appeared. Last month, viewers saw Ravi and Priya end their relationship whilst he was in a mental health unit receiving treatment for complex PTSD.
Today, Priya was preparing for Vicki and Ross’s wedding when she posed for a group picture with her and Ravi’s kids, Avani and Nugget.

When Avani said she’d send it to Ravi, Priya looked visibly uncomfortable, saying: “Look, babe, it’s a really nice photo. I just don’t think he’s gonna want one of me.”
Avani told her she’d already sent it, leaving Priya rattled — though she failed to notice a letter addressed to her, from Ravi, sitting nearby.
Ravi was then seen receiving the photo as he continued to work with his therapist. The therapist told him that the time had come to discuss his discharge, but questioned him over the fact he hasn’t spoken to Priya since their relationship ended.
Later, Priya was drinking a glass of wine when Ravi walked in the door. He told her he had “done a lot work” to understand himself and wanted to apologise to her, while talking her through his experience in narrative therapy as the two reconnected. Ravi admitted he had “never really showed you the respect you deserve”, and they soon fell into bed together.

As they lay in bed afterwards, Priya was clearly pleased with the progress Ravi had made. But as she left for Vicki and Ross’s reception, Ravi clearly had uncertainty etched on his face.
Does he have reservations about reuniting with his ex? And what did he write in the letter that she has yet to read?
Elsewhere on the soap, the episode ended with a devastating twist over at the wedding, as Ross grew increasingly suspicious about Zack.
As the ceremony got under way, the groom finally put the pieces together and confronted Vicki, asking her if Zack was the man she had previously slept with. Though she didn’t verbally respond, her face told him everything he needed to know.
