Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) has issued her final warning to sick Joel Marshall (Max Murray) in EastEnders.
It’s about time that somebody shuts down his disgusting behaviour once and for all – but with Ross (Alex Walkinshaw) reluctant to turn his back on his son, he’s pretty much been given free reign to do whatever he wants.
In tonight’s episode, however, Vicki swore to put a stop to that.
She can see that her partner is effectively enabling Joel’s vile ways, and won’t stand for it any longer.
What has Joel done in EastEnders?
Soon after his arrival, we discovered that Joel had upskirted a pupil in his class, and her family had ordered him to leave Australia in exchange for their silence. They’d also accepted a hefty $50,000 sum.
The teen showed no signs of changing – recording himself sleeping with Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James), and introducing Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall) to pornography.
He then showed his new mate videos from an influencer, who spoke about women in a derogatory manner.
The lads skived off school to take a trip into The City. On their journey home, Joel demanded Tommy whip out his phone and record something shocking.
He stumbled through the carriage, falling onto a girl and touching her inappropriately.
Later, Vicki met up with the victim and handed her £2,000 in exchange for her silence.
In the aftermath, despite promising to do better, Joel has tore strips off Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) and Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), before seemingly leaking the latter’s SecretCam content online.
This came just days after Ross snapped branded his son a ‘disgusting little pervert.’
With the police reluctant to investigate, this couldn’t be proved – but Stace’ is adamant that he’s responsible.
Joel spiralled further after learning that Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James) had aborted their unborn child, and attempted to slap her. A furious Vicki charged in his way, and dragged him home.
He reeled off a number of sick ideologies, including his belief that reproduction is the purpose of womanhood.
She begged him to open his eyes and wondered if he looked at her any different having not had any children herself.
In a truly horrifying move, he asserted that if she pushes him further, she’d find out that a ‘proper slapping would do [her] the world of good.’
Vicki lays down the law
In tonight’s episode, Joel goaded Stacey, spelling it out to her that he was responsible for leaking her content and didn’t care about the consequences for her.
She asserted that he was nothing more than a ‘dirty, disgusting little perv’ and while he may have fooled the others, he hadn’t fooled her.

Meanwhile, Vicky attempted to corner Ross and fill him in on last week’s events – but he quickly shut her down.
Realising that her family’s trauma would only continue for as long as Ross brushed off her concerns, she then caught Joel outside, calling him ‘tragic’.
He laughed in her face, but the smirk was soon wiped off when she told him in future she wouldn’t hesitate to call the police.
Will Joel finally learn a lesson?
