MORE than a year has passed since Chelsea Fox waved goodbye to her husband Gray Atkins, arrested and charged with murder.
But next week in EastEnders, she's due to make another risky decision over another kind of criminal, Ravi Gulati.
The gangster played by Aaron Thiara tried to catch Denise Fox's attention for weeks but she brutally rejected him.
However, the hairdresser played by Diane Parish surely didn't expect Ravi to turn to her daughter Chelsea (Zaraah Abrahams) for company.
Next week on BBC One, the pair even grow closer as Chelsea decides to trust Ravi.
Coming up, Ravi's son Nugget is pulled in to babysit Chelsea's baby Jordan while they go on a date.
