We’ve known for a while now that Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) is a wrong ‘un, but he sunk to a new low in recent EastEnders scenes as he made a shocking offer to a struggling Gina Knight (Francesca Henry).
We recently learnt that Gina can be some what of a party girl, particularly when things start getting tough.
Following the discovery that mum Rose Knight hadn’t ever existed, Gina headed out to Peggy’s and soon found that old habits die hard after buying a bag of cocaine.
It was soon revealed that Gina had had trouble with drugs in the past, with her behaviour having left George and Anna Knight (Colin Salmon and Molly Rainford) concerned.
In more recent scenes, Gina learnt that sister Anna had hired a private investigator to track down their missing mum, who viewers know to now be living in France under her real identity, Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins).

However, Gina was totally against the idea, terrified of how their dad may react to knowing that Anna was trying to track Rose Knight down.
Desperate to stop her going through with it, Gina gave Anna an ultimatum: Her sister or her mum.
When Anna couldn’t answer, Gina stormed out, heading straight to the Albert to drown her sorrows.
Inside, she found Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) doing a similar thing, following the death of wife Lola Pearce.
As the alcohol continued to flow, Gina advised Jay on how to help Lexi, having grown up without a mum herself.
She urged him to let her talk about Lola, and to assure her that it wasn’t her fault that her mum died.
Things took a turn for the worse when the dealer from her night at Peggy’s approached her, asking if she wanted any gear.
Though she initially turned him down, it wasn’t long before she had organised to meet him outside Walford East.
However, the deal was cut short by an eavesdropping Ravi, who insisted that there would be no drug deals taking place outside his restaurant.
Though we initially thought this was Ravi turning over a new leaf, he soon proved us wrong by offering Gina some cocaine from his own stash instead.
Having received a text from Anna confirming that she was going to go through with the search for their mum, Gina accepted his offer.
Is she heading back down a dark path?
