WARNING: This article contains spoilers for today’s episode of EastEnders, which is streaming now on BBC iPlayer, but has not yet aired on BBC One – in which Vicki hears more shocking news about Joel.

Vicki Fowler is the recipient of another bombshell about Joel Marshall in EastEnders today (Wednesday, October 15), as she continues to recover from his attack. With Joel in police custody, Vicki’s on the mend, although she remains deeply affected – both physically and mentally – by his assault.

And Ross doesn’t help matters either, when he shares another revelation about Joel’s actions.

Vicki learns about Joel’s videos in EastEnders early release

As Vicki lies in her hospital bed, Ross admits that he went to see Joel at the police station yesterday. When she accuses him of standing by his son, Ross tells her that he was the one who shopped Joel to the police.

It’s then that Vicki learns about the videos on Joel’s computer – including the footage he took of Avani, while they were being intimate. As if that’s not enough trauma for one day, he also suggests that they reach out to Joel once his court case has taken place.

Needless to say, Vicki’s disgusted.

Ross is out on his ear

Returning home, Ross is shocked to discover that Kathy and Zack have packed his bags and are throwing him out. From the street, he watches as Vicki returns home – seemingly satisfied with Sharon’s decision to eject Ross from the house.

Where will Ross go?

Meanwhile, Avani is horrified to learn that Joel had uploaded footage of them in bed together to the Internet. As Ravi and Priya struggle to support their daughter, she breaks down at Joel’s latest vile act.

Ravi responds by suggesting a holiday for the whole family, taking them all away to Ibiza. Good news for stressed-out Ravi and traumatised Avani – but less so for Harry, who remains Okie’s captive while Ravi jets off on his jollies.
