As Joel's mum left when he was an infant , would he recognise her when she rocks up to the Square ?
Joel has the roving eye or the misogynistic insult for anyone female with a pulses . If he made advances or a nasty comment to his own mother then would that be the kick up the arse he needs ?

As this is Eastenders though his next victim could be Priya ( I bet Joel is secretly attracted and repulsed at the same time as Priya is everything his internet hero rants about )
The Ravi can kill him

Ravi killing off Joel wouid be revenge for his daughter.
I like this idea but it would be silly for him to end up back in jail because of him.

the80sweregreat · 09/08/2025 10:08

Im not sure where they are going with the Joel story really. I’m sad that Tommy is involved as he is being nice lately and turned a corner

Southeastdweller · 09/08/2025 10:19

I think Tommy was feeling very lonely before Joel came along and is still vulnerable which is why he hasn’t binned Joel off after hearing Joel call his mum a slag.

Ravi can make this happen with no witnesses
He could arrange for Joel to go off on a nice holiday (October half term maybe ) and not come back . Send a text to Ross you don't love me or understand me . I'm out of here , going to live with Mum in -insert random country-don't try and find me. By Christmas we'll be "Joel who?"
I'm sure Ravi knows people , he wouldn't get his own hands dirty .
Even dippy Reiss managed to keep gobby Bianca imprisoned for six weeks !
Ranveer hasn't re surfaced from his suitcase of doom

I agree it was odd that Stacey's account was still accessible. I would have thought she would delete it, otherwise she'd keep getting 'enquiries'.

Oddly enough I don't want Joel to die. As he's so young I cling to the hope he can be rehabilitated. (I have no idea if that is realistic - probably not.)

As Joel has done more or less everything else (upskirting, videoing Avani, sexually assaulting a stranger) the next step does seem to be a more serious sexual assault. I agree Priya could be an obvious target, but I would have thought he would find her intimidating so he'd pick on someone his own age.

JessyCarr · 09/08/2025 12:04

I think after Eve helps Avani get a termination, Joel will find out (about the pregnancy and the abortion) and hit the roof thinking he should have been consulted.

Edit: so suggests the Radio Times!

the80sweregreat · 09/08/2025 12:41

Yes, maybe Ravi could see Joel off as ‘ disappeared’ surely Ross wouid be worried ? Especially if he finds out about the baby. Although I agree that he needs to be dealt with !

InALonelyWorld · 09/08/2025 12:51

Ravi isn't a genuine murderer though is he? I know he was the one who killed Ranvir in the end but didn't he go all weird when Nish ordered him to bump off Eve?

the80sweregreat · 09/08/2025 12:59

No, Ravi will probably get someone else to do Joel in if it comes to it!

Shellingbynight · 09/08/2025 13:09

Agreed re Ravi, he refused to kill Eve and let her go. He had no particular reason to harm Eve - it wasn't his idea! But he did kill Ranveer and dispose of his body (and let Kheerat take the blame) so I can see him in the heat of the moment killing Joel because of what he did to Avani.

I hope it doesn't go that way though.

the80sweregreat · 09/08/2025 09:25

EE feels different since the new producer took over.
Characters acting out of character etc, but I did like the montage they did once of the market and he has culled a few people.
I hope that Joel doesn’t kill anyone or they don’t try to do an Adolescent type storyline with him ( the Netflix drama that was on a few months ago) but he could carry it off to be fair to the actor, but it’s just a grim story and more deaths :(

Ugh god, I cant deal with an 'adolescent' type storyline 😔 - even worse than the avani baby storyline

Agree hes a good actor

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 10/08/2025 20:50

Oh Sad yes I read this , Ray Brooks had one the the most iconic attractive male voices .
At the moment we're ( DH, DD and I) are re watching "Endeavour" , I really like the voice of Roger Allum who plats Fred Thursday .
DD is watching it for Sean Evans but he's doing a very naice accent for his Oxford role , not his own Liverpudlian one ( which is far nicer IMO)

OpalescentFruit · 10/08/2025 20:52

Ray Brooks was the voice of the iconic Mr Benn!
❤️

InALonelyWorld · 11/08/2025 07:22

Just watched today's episode, I'm glad Barney and Eve have helped Avani be honest about what she actually wants. They are likely going to get the wrath of Suki now though when she finds out.

Ross was as irritating as ever. The slaters can see right through him. Vicky is also getting on my nerves, I don't understand why she's just standing back and sticking up for them both. I do wonder if Stacey or Freddie is going to end up posting something about Joel online and it leads to all the other women coming forward about what he's done. Maybe this could tie in with Fred's exit storyline as he did hit Theo to save Stacey that time.

Southeastdweller · 11/08/2025 08:45

Ross is worse than useless. I enjoyed the moment in today’s episode where Stacey called him a “deadbeat dad”.

OP posts:
the80sweregreat · 11/08/2025 09:31

It comes to something when Stacey slater calls you ‘ deadbeat’ ! ( I like Stacey, but her background and her history isn’t that great either)

OpalescentFruit · 11/08/2025 10:36

Ross is an absolute twat. Sadly his character is very true to life.

Fantasea · 11/08/2025 14:22

Ross is very believable as the useless dad trying to be friends with his appalling son.

I did laugh when Suki and Eve went to find Avani at the party and Suki had her handbag on her arm, she was only going over the road with the intention of coming straight back home so why did she need that massive bag 🤣.

Optimist1 · 11/08/2025 15:16

she was only going over the road with the intention of coming straight back home so why did she need that massive bag

@Fantasea the thought process goes like this ...

I'll need my keys and my phone. (No bag needed)

  • Might need my purse in case we want a coffee or something whilst out.
  • If I need to read anything while I'm out, I'll need my glasses.
  • This hayfever is making me very snotty - would be good to have tissues. = massive bag needed. You're welcome 😁
the80sweregreat · 11/08/2025 17:37

Vicki didn’t even want to look at his new laptop to see if Joel did share the posts about Stacey. She didn’t even mention that it was new.

OpalescentFruit · 11/08/2025 18:41

Vicky is an arse. She and Joel are parasites living off Sharon's good nature. I wonder how many repayments Ross has made for the 25k loan, considering they were nearly kicked out for not even paying rent - which would have been paid by benefits they didn't even bother to apply for 🙄

the80sweregreat · 11/08/2025 18:57

Could Ross apply for benefits? He lived in Oz for years and not sure of the rules around this and claiming , but maybe they could?

Anyonecanfallinlove · 11/08/2025 19:53

Well I've tried and tried, I really didn't want to give up on Eastender but the current storylines are just not for me. There's not one I care about, the writers are really scrapping the barrel if this is the best they could come up with
