EastEnders has been hinting that Ravi Gulati and Denise Fox might be getting closer over coming weeks.

The pair have been battling chemistry while Denise and husband Jack have been battling... each other. So, it looks like things might deepen between the pair.

Aaron Thiara, who plays Ravi, has given an insight into what we might be able to expect in the near future, and it sounds like things are going to get pretty intense in the love triangle.

Of the new romance, Aaron shared "From Ravi’s point of view, I think he feels seen by Denise. Internally, I think there is that magnetic attraction, and that’s playing on his mind and is why he wants to pursue Denise at whatever cost."

He also added that Ravi's interest might not be 100% wholesome: "There’s also the thrill of the chase that he really enjoys, he also really enjoys treading on eggshells and stepping into dangerous waters with Denise being a detective’s wife. I think that riles him, I think he really likes that."

In general, though, it seems like the connection is genuine, with the actor explaining "Internally, Ravi feels like he and Denise really get one another. As the weeks go on we start to see even more of how he opens himself up to Denise, but how she takes that is to be seen.”

So, Ravi is definitely into Denise, and it seems like she might just be into him. What happens next?

“It’s going to go up a few notches. Their relationship also has rollercoasters within it, it’s very dangerous. Ravi is seeing how far he can go until he crosses the line, that’s where we’re currently at with it.”

Sounds ominous.

EastEnders airs on Mondays - Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer.
