EastEnders
In a dramatic turn on EastEnders, Nugget Gulati (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury) will soon make a disconcerting choice to take anabolic steroids, following the lead of his best friend Denzel Danes (Jaden Ladega).
This worrying decision stems from many rejections and painful social situations that have pushed him into a corner.
Denzel was recently embroiled in an attack on Edward Road, where he was bullied and filmed by classmates.
His friend Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James) stood by, watching helplessly as family friend Yolande Trueman (Angela Wynter) attempted to intervene but fell, injuring herself.
Instead of offering support, Nugget and Avani mocked Denzel the next day, sharing the embarrassing footage on social media.
Realizing the damage inflicted by the incident, family friend Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) invited the boys to the Boxing Den to redirect their frustrations positively.
However, Denzel, now obsessed with improving his physique to ward off future attacks, manipulated Yolande into funding a “school trip,” using the money to purchase steroids instead.
The drugs’ harmful effects became apparent this week when fitness influencer Ebony (Annika Whiston) invited Denzel to collaborate on a workout video, much to his excitement.
However, his girlfriend, Amy Mitchell (Ellie Dadd), felt increasingly alienated as she tried to regain his attention.
Amy turns to Penny Branning (Kitty Castledine) in the upcoming scenes for advice about being intimate with Denzel.
However, when she asks for alone time with him at a party, it becomes painfully obvious that Denzel’s steroid use is impairing his ability to be intimate.
Despite Amy’s efforts to console him, she feels rejected and hurt.
Nugget Gulati’s dangerous decision to follow Denzel’s path into anabolic steroids underscores the growing pressure that young people face around body image and social acceptance.
As these gripping EastEnders episodes unfold, viewers will see how the show tackles the stark reality of steroid abuse and its toll on relationships and mental health.
