Will Ross choose his son or his bride? Keep scrolling to learn more.
Joel’s Release To Disrupt Vicki And Ross’s Life?
Joel Marshall’s shadow is still looming over Walford. Also, it’s threatening to dismantle Vicki and Ross’s wedding before they even reach the altar. As we know the teenager has been sent to a young offenders facility for his brutal attack on Vicki. Despite this, his presence will likely cause differences among the partners. But the question is: For how long will the duo’s happiness last?
After Joel received only six months in juvie, Ross was torn between his son and his love for Vicki. Later, the two were having a tense discussion about the eventual release. That’s when Ross made a shocking comparison between the boy’s behaviour and the affair involving the woman.
Now, it is “painfully clear” that the issue is far from resolved. The groom admits that he cannot cut his own blood out of his life. Now, this deadlock has left the pair heading to their stag and hen parties feeling conflicted.
Vicki Delivers An Ultimatum In EastEnders
The anxiety surrounding the living arrangements has pushed the bride to her breaking point. Alice Haig says that, “The character wants nothing more than to marry Ross, but she can’t see a future that includes Joel.” When she thinks of sharing a home with her attacker, she feels deeply anxious. Next, she also begins to question the entire marriage.
Before the parties begin, she says she cannot go through with the wedding if he chooses the teenager over her. Eventually the groom conceded. He agreed to find the boy a different place to live upon his release. However, we know one clear thing. And it is that the damage to their relationship is already done.
Now Ross has agreed to find Joel a separate home. But will Vicki move past the fact that he initially compared her trauma to an affair? Do you think Ross and Vicki are the endgame? Let us know in the comments section. For more EastEnders spoilers and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
