EastEnders star warns of ‘dark’ times ahead for Joel

In an interview withDigital Spy, Alice, who plays Vicki Fowler, shared her take on where the story is headed.

“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 revealed.

“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.”
