EastEnders fans, tonight was heavy. Ross found out what Joel had been up to, and it broke something in him. No father wants to discover that about their child. Keep scrolling to know more.
EastEnders’ Ross Watches Joel Unravel
Ross and Vicki Fowler had already been suspicious. They knew Joel had filmed something on the tube. Vicki warned that something wasn’t right. Tonight, that fear became reality. After Joel and Tommy stole alcohol from the Queen Vic and mocked Kat Slater, Ross dragged Joel home in fury. Vicki told him off for always making excuses and urged him to face the truth.
Ross tried to explain it away, saying Joel was lashing out because his mum was getting married again. But once they were upstairs, Joel’s words took a darker turn. He started going on about how men have lost control, and how he needed to take some back. His words were unsettling. Rather than pushing back, Ross tried to connect with him differently. He asked Joel to show him what he watches.
Joel played a clip from one of his favourite influencers. The man on screen cracked cruel jokes about women. Ross tried to shrug it off, saying it felt like something from an old TV. But when Joel left the room, Ross kept watching. What he saw next left him cold.
The Moment Ross Snaps
The video kept playing, filled with poison about women using men and deserving nothing. Then Ross heard the ping of an email. Joel had been sent footage of a woman being attacked. Ross opened it. There were more, many more.
Joel came back just as Ross turned to him. His voice was quiet but furious. “That man made you think this filth is normal?” he asked. “After everything we’ve done for you, you’re still at it?” Joel admitted he didn’t film all the videos. But Ross wasn’t having it. “You trade them? Are you a stalker?” he asked, shaking with rage.
When Joel said, “Everyone does it,” Ross had enough. He demanded Joel’s phone. Joel refused. Ross didn’t hesitate. He took the laptop, went to the sink, and destroyed it without saying another word. “I do not want this filth in this house,” he shouted. “You are a revolting, arrogant, disgusting little pervert.”
Joel stood stunned. “You think there’s something wrong with me?” Ross got close and looked him dead in the eye. “There’s something seriously wrong here,” Ross said, staring him down. But is it already too late to pull Joel back? For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, follow Soap Opera Daily.
