The star warned that Joel’s behaviour will only get worse
EastEnders actor and Vicki Fowler star Alice Haig has warned that Joel Marshall’s story will get a lot ‘darker’ before it gets any better. The soap has revealed Joel to be a disturbed soul since his arrival in Walford earlier this year, between his troubling views about women and (hushed-up) criminal past.
Joel’s behaviour came to a head (again) this week, after a terrible outburst in the café. After feeling insulted by Amy and Lily, Joel dashed a chair across the room, all while ranting and raving like a lunatic.
Amy promptly told Ross and Vicki what had happened. This resulted in another heated confrontation between father and son. As Ross pinned his son up against the wall, Vicki intervened, blaming Ross’s poor example for Joel’s behaviour.
But is worse to come?
“Obviously I can’t give away any details, but safe to say it is dark. It does get darker and there’s a lot of drama ahead,” she said.
She continued: “A lot of important topics are being discussed and explored. I know it’s a hard watch, but stick in there because it’s worthwhile and it’s a story we need to tell.”
But how much worse will Joel‘s behaviour get?
EastEnders to air spin-off documentary based on Joel’s story
The Sun reported earlier this week that the BBC are planning a special documentary based on Joel’s story. It will explore the rise of misogyny in young men, and the toxic influence of Andrew Tate and Drake Zagan-types.
Sharing news of the broadcaster’s plans, a source told the tabloid: “Executives felt it was a good point to what’s happening on EastEnders, to open up discussion on this incredibly important topic.
“It will feature cast members from the soap and its airing will coincide with a linked storyline that will be seen on the main show later this year.”
