Aaron Thiara set to leave EastEnders after four years on the soap
Aaron Thiara is reportedly preparing to leave EastEnders after four years playing Ravi Gulati, though he is expected to remain on set until the end of the year for upcoming storylines. Ravi has been central to major plots involving family secrets, murder, drug dealing, trauma and PTSD, with Thiara asking viewers to see the character as a person in crisis rather than only as a villain. EastEnders declined to comment. The article also notes that Michelle Ryan is pursuing vocal work after her departure from the soap.
