EastEnders spoilers have revealed there’s more to come for teen Joel Marshall next week, as he’s set to ‘target’ Stacey yet again – but it looks like Vicki’s finally had enough

Joel shows his true colours when he overhears a conversation between Stacey and Kat Slater  

Joel Marshall shocked EastEnders fans during Thursday night’s episode when he issued his darkest threat yet to his stepmother, Vicki Fowler.

After learning that Avani had a termination, Joel stormed over to her on the Square, throwing vile insults such as accusing the teen of being a “murderer”.

In shock scenes, Joel raised his hands towards Avani, but his stepmother, Vicki, was there to catch his hands and stop him. After telling Avani to go home, Vicki and Joel got into a tense interaction back home, leading to Joel telling Vicki that “a proper slapping would do you the world of good”. It comes after an EastEnders legend was rushed to hospital after a deadly attack by a familiar face.

The moment came just days after the teen had gotten away with releasing Stacey’s SecretCam footage online. Stacey suspected Joel straight away – storming over to confront him and Ross. However, Joel denied the accusations to Ross, who shockingly believed him.

Ross and Vicki then told Stacey and Jean that they’d be taking no further action – leading to an argument in the Square. Stacey reported Joel to the police but was left raging when they said they were taking no further action.

The SecretCam footage spread like wildfire, with Stacey’s daughter Lily deciding not to return home because of it.

Now, new spoilers for next week reveal that Joel is set to deliberately goad Stacey, but once again, Vicki is there to catch him. She warns him that she won’t stand for any more of his behaviour – but will her warnings finally work?

Elsewhere next week, it looks like the Panesar/Gulati family drama has brought Priya and Ravi closer, as an argument takes an unexpected turn.

It all starts when Ravi promises to take Priya and the kids shopping, but gets waylaid when Okie reports that the police have raided their base. Priya later confronts Ravi about letting Avani down, but things later turn passionate between the pair.

Things escalate even further when Ravi promises Priya that he’ll find a way to get back on his feet, and they agree to give their relationship another go.

Are Ravi and Priya back together for good? And has Joel been stopped once and for all?
