EastEnders finally revealed Joel’s huge secret in tonight’s episode, as his stepmother Vicki Fowler also learnt the truth Ross’ debts, which Sharon paid off, for the first time.
Joel and Ross were introduced to EastEnders fans earlier this year when they came to Walford with Vicki Fowler for Martin’s funeral. The residents were stunned to learn that Vicki was no longer with Spencer Moon, and was in a new relationship with Ross, who came with son, Joel.Upon their arrival, fans were aware Ross owed £50,000 and it became evident quite quickly that the money had something to do with Joel. Tonight, Ross revealed all to Vicki, telling her how Joel took a picture up a girls skirt, and proceeded to send it to all his friends.

To Vicki’s disgust, Ross revealed he had to pay the family off, as he “couldn’t risk getting the police involved.” However, Ross is still yet to tell Vicki that he discovered Joel had secretly recorded his intimate moment with Avani.
Upon learning about the reason behind Ross’ debt, Vicki went storming into the living room to express her disgust with her stepson.
“First things first, I’m moving you to a boys’ school,” she told Joel who tried to object, telling Vicki he liked Walford High, and had friends there.
“The girls don’t want some pervet in their class!” a fuming Vicki responded. “You’ll find new mates and hopefully learn to respect women.”

Could the move mean Joel will be leaving Walford for good? Fans already think Joel will be in trouble when Avani’s dad Ravi gets his hands on him.
“Bring it on for when ravi finds out what Joel has done to avani he will be on the train tracks!! #EastEnders,” tweeted one fan, while another predicted: “He will get dangled off a bridge, and also dropped from it,” referencing his famous scene with Barney Mitchell.
“It’ll be brutal, I know,” said a third. “But I bet he’ll be restrained by someone before he unleashes 100% of that brutality on Joel’s head.”
Spoilers for next week reveal a showdown between Ravi and Ross after he learns Avani and Joel have slept together but could things get much worse for Joel now his secret is out?
