EastEnders is again making headlines. One of its darkest storylines will be the focus of a brand new BBC Three documentary. It will show more closely the misogynistic attitudes which young men show. And how these online platforms fuel the problem.
The document also features contributions from the BBC soap cast. It will go live later this year on BBC Three and iPlayer. It’s time clashes with the TV drama Netflix’s Adolescence, which is already showing youth culture and violence. The show highlights similar issues through Joel Marshall’s disturbing behaviour.

EastEnders’ Joel Marshall’s Disturbing Behaviour
Joel arrived in Walford earlier this year. And he was full of controversy from the beginning. He visited with his dad, Ross, from Australia. They came in disgrace because Joel had previously upskirted a teenager in his class. His father paid the girl’s family a large sum of money to keep the matter quiet. But Joel thinks he is unaccountable for his actions.
Joel is not ashamed of his behaviour and creates chaos in Albert Square. He manipulates Tommy Moon. Joel shows his harmful online videos from sexist influencers. He spreads toxic views about women. He even insulted his mother. And calls her degrading names and blames her for his childhood. He also impregnated Avani Nandra-Hart. The teenager also sexually assaulted a woman on the London Underground. And even other crimes were quickly covered by Vicki Fowler.
Joel did not stop here. His actions got worse day by day. He accessed Stacey Slater’s SecretCam and leaked her private content online. When he was questioned, he denied involvement. However, his behaviour and comments towards her meant he was responsible. Stacey tried to confront him, but was shocked by his behaviour. He said she deserves a slap. His behaviour has shocked the fans. His actions are very awful to watch.
BBC Three Steps In With A Documentary
Joel’s story is set to escalate further. The soap bosses have teamed up with BBC Three. They want to explore the real-world issues it reflects. Some insiders reveal that the executives wanted to highlight the seriousness of this problem. They wished to use both the soap’s fictional storyline and real stories.
The documentary will include cast members from EastEnders. It will discuss the rapid growth of online communities spreading misogyny to young men. The producers hope this documentary will highlight the seriousness of the issue and teach people about it. They also want to showcase that shows like theirs can influence modern issues.
The timing of the documentary matches the upcoming episodes of the soap. Joel’s storyline will take an even darker turn. The show has already been praised for handling social issues in the past. This collaboration is expected to shine. And leave an impact on the young people. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
