EastEnders viewers 'work out' missing Nugget's whereabouts after family twist

viewers think they know exactly where Nugget has fled to, after the teenager appeared to run away during Thursday's episode.

Nugget had just found out his father Ravi Gulati was a killer and had murdered the man Nugget knew as his grandfather. Refusing to go home he hid from his dad and refused to hear him out, in turmoil over his actions. As Thursday's episode came to an end, Nugget was seen packing his bags and walking out of the house, before heading off into the distance.

Next week, his worried family will realise he is missing and search for him. His disappearance is raised with the police, but it seems he doesn't return in the coming days. Now, viewers believe they know where he might be and where he might have headed to after an announcement by the BBC soap.

On Thursday night it was announced , and they share a link to villain Ravi. His ex-girlfriend Priya comes back into his life and he learns that he’s the father to a secret daughter he never knew existed. This October, Priya and daughter Avani will arrive and soon we learn more about the couple's past, and what led to Ravi taking Nugget away and keeping him from his mother.

Now, viewers think that Nugget might already know about his mum, and that he might be fleeing to live with her. Taking to social media, one viewer theorised: "Didn’t even connect that it would be Nuggets Mum. So that must have been where Nugget was headed when we saw him last?" Another said: "We know that Nugget has run away but I wonder if he ran away to his mum Priya and that is how she comes into the show alongside Ravi's daughter Avani."

Speaking about their arrival, Executive Producer Chris Clenshaw said: “We’re excited to introduce Priya and Avani, two women guaranteed to cause big drama in Albert Square. Little is known about Ravi and Priya’s doomed romance, but she’s a big missing piece in his past. The revelation that he’s got another child will floor Ravi, and he is set to face a big challenge in his life when he is forced to cope with such a big shock to the system. We’re delighted to welcome Sophie and Aaliyah to the EastEnders family.”
