EastEnders 'reveals' Joel's next victim after horrific Vicki attack – and it's not Avani

BBC EastEnders fans believe the soap has dropped a 'huge hint' on Joel Marshall's next victim after tonight's episode. Once again, Joel was seen losing his temper at his stepmother Vicki, as he ordered her to 'do her job' and clean up after him.

After a scolding from his father Ross, Joel stormed out of the house to sulk on a park bench, as Amy Mitchell, Davinder "Nugget" Gulati and Avani Nadra-Hart walked past on their way back from school.

As fans will know, Joel and Avani slept together earlier this year, resulting in Avani getting pregnant. Not only that, he filmed the act without her consent and leaked it online, as well as verbally abusing her when he found out she had a termination.

Taking to Reddit, one penned: "The look Joel gave Amy made me scared for her," as another wrote: "That ending with Joel seems eerie, I'm feeling worried for Amy.
