There’s a saying that things have to get bad before they get better – and this week, that saying is in full force in Walford. No matter what has been done and said, Ross Marshall has been on the fence about his son Joel‘s misogynistic behaviour, but as you’re about to see on Thursday, it’s about to get even worse!

After this Thursday’s assault, Vicki flees from the scene and Ross hasn’t witnessed anything. So he’s only got Joel’s word to go on. But when he gets a call from the hospital to say that Vicki has been taken in, he’s horrified that the person he loves is in need – and his son may be responsible!

Soon the hunt for Joel is on – with everyone but Tommy Moon aware of where he’s gone! Will Ross find out the truth from Vicki, or will Joel get away again?

Elsewhere this week, there’s more terror for Harry as his plan to expose Ravi is rumbled! Teddy is worried – but is relieved when Harry calls home. But he’s unaware that Ravi and Okie have Harry held hostage! Will anyone find Harry before things go too far?

And finally, recent drone footage has been seen online that appears to show a familiar face returning soon… an unannounced one at that! It’s being reported by multiple sources, so there may be some truth in it… but the rumour is that Kim Medcalf may soon be heading home as Sam Mitchell!

Also, keep an eye on Nigel and Oscar this week – they make quite the pair!

And finally, there’s an EastEnders Investigates: The Manosphere special right after Thursday’s episode on BBC Three, with some insight into Joel’s current storyline.

Enjoy and be safe. Regards,

The Curator
