EastEnders<\/a> spoilers follow for Wednesday\u2019s episode (15 October), which is available to watch now on streaming service BBC iPlayer and hasn\u2019t yet aired on TV.<\/p>\n

EastEnders has returned to a harrowing storyline involving Avani Nandra-Hart and Joel Marshall. As the community continues to come to terms with Joel\u2019s harrowing attack on Vicki Fowler<\/a>, another of his crimes is finally exposed.<\/p>\n

Viewers will remember that Avani and Joel slept together back in May, but Joel secretly recorded them having sex<\/a> without Avani\u2019s knowledge or permission.<\/p>\n

Since then, Joel\u2019s misogynistic behaviour and attitudes have continued to spiral out of control and came to a climax with his vile attack on Vicki that left her in hospital.<\/p>\n

When Ross accessed his son\u2019s laptop in the wake of the incident, he found a folder of videos that he handed over to the police<\/a>, including footage of Joel injuring Vicki.<\/p>\n

Another of these videos was of Avani, and in today\u2019s episode<\/a> social services and the police arrived in Walford to talk to the teenager about the recording.<\/p>\n

Avani was distraught to learn that not only had Joel secretly filmed her, but that he put the video online and the authorities hadn\u2019t yet been able to take it down.<\/p>\n

She ran away from the house in tears, and parents Ravi and Priya later found their daughter sobbing in the allotment.<\/p>\n

Avani said that Joel and the video had ruined her life, but she was supported by her mum and dad \u2013 and Ravi later suggested that they go away on a family holiday for a well-deserved break.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Ross visited Vicki in hospital<\/a> and broke the news that Joel had made a recording of her attack that he gave to the police.<\/p>\n

This led to Ross having to admit that he knew his son was making these illicit recordings \u2013 including the video of Avani \u2013 months ago and didn\u2019t step in before things escalated further.<\/p>\n

Ross was desperate for him and Vicki to stick together after Joel\u2019s appearance in court, but she was clear that their relationship was over.<\/p>\n

There was another major blow for Ross<\/a> when he returned home to find that Zack had thrown all his possessions into some bin bags.<\/p>\n

He discovered that Sharon had been filled in on the situation and she wanted him out of the house for good before Vicki returned home from hospital.<\/p>\n

With heartbroken Ross having lost both his partner and a place to stay, is there anything left for him in Walford?<\/p>\n
