If there\u2019s one character who\u2019s weaved himself a complex web this year, it\u2019s EastEnders<\/a>\u2018 Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara).<\/p>\n

He showed a more genuine side when he fell in love with Chelsea Fox (Zaraah Abrahams), and it\u2019s clear he loves his son Davinder \u201cNugget\u201d Gulati (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury). But Ravi is a ruthless killer, and it\u2019s only a matter of time before his crimes catch up with him.<\/p>\n

So, given that the BBC soap is set to kill off one male character<\/a> during the festive season, naturally, our thoughts keep going to Ravi. The hints about him read like a list of his crimes, after all!<\/p>\n

Looking for all the clues as to why, listed together in one place? RadioTimes.com<\/a> has everything you need below\u2026<\/p>

Is Ravi Gulati the dead body in EastEnders at Christmas? All the clues and theories<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Framed Suki Panesar for murder<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We spent quite some time wondering whether Ravi\u2019s stepmother Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal) would only find out about this secret on Christmas Day itself. But thanks to the suspicions of Denise Fox (Diane Parish), Suki is now aware that Ravi killed his adoptive Ranveer (Anil Goutam), not her!<\/p>\n

While Suki has already begun a revenge plan<\/a>, her hopes of getting Ravi locked up, and therefore freeing her son Kheerat (Jaz Deol) who took the blame for her, have been dashed so far.<\/p>\n

She has, however, left Ravi\u2019s son Nugget terrified by telling him the truth, leading Nugget to run away. Might the biggest showdown between Ravi and Suki be left until the festive season?<\/p>\n

Blackmailed Denise Fox holds the potential murder weapon<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Denise shared a few kisses with Ravi before he went on to date her daughter Chelsea. When Denise then stopped their liaison, Ravi blackmailed her, saying he would tell her husband Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) if she didn\u2019t get him the evidence that copper Jack was compiling against Ravi for his dodgy dealings.<\/p>\n

Denise ended up confessing to Jack, but now she\u2019s back in Ravi\u2019s orbit after watching his murderous footage<\/a> and using it to break up Ravi and Chelsea. Denise is full of hatred for Ravi but is wary of getting in too deep with Suki\u2019s plotting.<\/p>\n

But with Denise in possession of a broken bottle of champagne during the flashforward scene, is she forced to strike against Ravi in self-defence, killing him?<\/p>\n

Kheerat was in a relationship with Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) before he chose to leave her, confessing to Ranveer\u2019s murder back when Suki believed she was the culprit. But when Stace inevitably learns that Ravi is the murderer, might she want to help Suki and Denise get even with Ravi?<\/p>\n

She seemed to get the measure of Ravi when he made a pass at her while she was with Kheerat. So could Stacey, who has killed before, take a stand against injustice, leading to Ravi\u2019s demise?<\/p>\n

He crossed Sharon Watts<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Although Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) is no longer engaged to Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters), we can\u2019t dismiss that there is bad blood between her and Ravi, after the latter attacked Keanu earlier this year. Sharon reported Ravi to the police, and it was Keanu who got Ravi out of trouble.<\/p>\n

But if Sharon has further reason to go after Ravi \u2013 whether it\u2019s hearing about the above crimes, or through another misdemeanour \u2013 she might just be prepared to stand by her friends\u2019 sides against him. Has Ravi crossed too many Walford women to escape with his life?<\/p>\n

Well, there is the small issue that EastEnders is about to introduce Ravi\u2019s ex, Priya<\/a>, and the daughter he knew nothing about. But that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean Ravi is safe!<\/p>\n
