EastEnders Joel Marshall star has broken his silence on the teenager character’s Vicki Fowler attack as he provided an \u2018awareness\u2019 message.<\/p>\n
Played by Max Murray, Joel has been causing issues across Walford since being introduced to the BBC<\/a> soap earlier in the year.<\/p>\n To date, Joel has sexually assaulted a stranger on a train while getting his friend Tommy Moon to film it, recorded himself having intimate relations with schoolgirl Avani Nandra-Hart without her permission, and leaked adult footage of Stacey Slater<\/a> online.<\/p>\n It was also revealed that Joel, who arrived in Walford with his dad Ross Marshall and his girlfriend Vicki Fowler, could not return to Australia because he \u2018up-skirted\u2019 a girl, and Ross paid off the family to avoid going to the police.<\/p>\n Things escalated further in scenes aired on Thursday (October 9) as Joel got in trouble for showing his classmates an explicit video in school and later hitting Amy Mitchell<\/a>, who called him out.<\/p>\n After receiving a telling off from home by his dad Ross Marshall, Vicki Fowler<\/a> proceeded to give out to him for his actions in recent months.<\/p>\n \u201cYou get off in making women feel small. That\u2019s why you told me I needed a good slap. That\u2019s not wrong? That\u2019s not disgusting? Do you know how pathetic that is? How weak that makes you?<\/p>\n \u201cYou are just a scared little boy who throws a tantrum when he doesn\u2019t get his own way and it doesn\u2019t matter what you hear on your stupid little videos because my eyes are open and I can see the truth.<\/p>\n \u201cYou will never be a real man because you don\u2019t even know what it means. You\u2019re a pathetic little beta male, a silly little twerp. And you should feel embarrassed, you should feel humiliated because I am so much stronger than you,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Furious at Vicki for speaking to him like that, Joel proceeded to punch her and film her as she struggled to get up from the floor.<\/p>\n With Vicki\u2019s fate to be revealed next week, Joel actor Max was seen immediately after the episode in a documentary titled EastEnders<\/a> Investigates: The Manosphere.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1_LDBR_MEN_091025_Joel.jpg\")
