EastEnders fans ‘work out’ who will save Harry Mitchell amid kidnapping twist

EastEnders fans are saying that they’ve ‘worked out’ who will save Harry Mitchell amid another twist following his kidnapping.

Played by Elijah Holloway, Harry is currently being held hostage by his boss Ravi Gulati and Okie on the BBC soap.

The pair were initially refusing to let the son of Nicola and Teddy Mitchell go unless he revealed where the hidden camera was linked to in Kojo Asare’s flat, where a drug scheme is being run.

Despite giving Ravi and Okie information, Harry was told that they weren’t going to release him, leading him to beg for drugs.

On Wednesday (October 15), , social services and the police arrived to speak to Ravi’s daughter Avani Nandra-Hart after they found the footage of Joel Marshall secretly filming them sleeping together.

Deciding to put his daughter first, suggesting they go on a holiday together, Ravi told Okie he was in charge and to let Harry go.


However, Okie told Harry that he was going to stay put as he was going to attempt to win his girlfriend Gina Knight’s affections after they flirted with each other earlier in the week.

In scenes aired on Thursday (October 16), Okie continued to keep Harry locked up and further angered him when he revealed he was going on a date with Gina.


The pair later shared a drink, but Gina confided her concerns with her sister Anna Knight that something is seriously going wrong with Harry.

Things went from bad to worse for Harry, taking drugs to escape his current reality as Okie continued to toy with his emotions about Gina.

“You never told me how funny Gina is, got pretty wild. She can handle her booze as well. My favourite bit of the date was tracing my finger along her tattoo. She was quivering, I think that’s her sweet spot,” Okie said.

Those watching the episode at home took to the EastEnders Reddit page to share their theory that Gina doesn’t actually like Okie and is using him to find Harry.

@Waganeri said: “I am CONVINCED that Gina is playing 4D chess. Shes deffo using Okie to get close and find Harry/Kojo.Remember this post!” @YurchenkoFull added: “I feel like they made it kinda obvious by having Gina ask Okie the same question and he gave her a different answer as to why he needed Harry’s laptop.”

RaynaLouise wrote: “I’ve literally been saying this since last week! Gina is so much smarter than anyone thinks… and I hope she’s playing Okie so that she can figure out what’s happened to Harry.”

@Bo88797665 commented on X, previously known as Twitter: “Even though Gina went for Drinks, She knows something has happened to Harry & still loves him you can tell that. She knows he’s not a fool and wouldn’t ghost her. #Eastenders.”
