EastEnders spoiler: Joel Marshall finally gets his comeuppance for battering stepmum Vicki Fowler as part of Adolescence-inspired incel storyline as he awaits sentencing in courtroom pics
First look pictures of upcoming scenes from EastEnders see Joel Marshall finally get his comeuppance for battering his stepmum Vicki Fowler.
The school boy, played by Max Murray, first appeared in Walford back in March as Ross Marshall’s son (Alex Walkinshaw).
Shortly after moving to the Square, Joel’s derogatory views about women became clear, with multiple instances to illustrate this.
He called Kat (Jessie Wallace) and Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) vile names in the Queen Vic, filmed having sex with Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James) and also sexually assaulted Isla (Regan-Bailey Walker) on the tube.
Back in October he went on to horrify fans after attacking his stepmother Vicki (Alice Haig), and he will soon be heading to court to hear the verdict.

In the sneak peek snaps, Joel looks angrier than ever walking outside in a black puffer jacket, while in another he can be seen looking out of the window in his school uniform.
A number of other characters will appear in the scenes.

Kat looked glamorous in a tiger print coat, black dress and green fluffy boots.
Meanwhile Avani opted for a long black puffer jacket with frilly socks and a pair of black loafers.
Zack Hudson (James Farrar) was also seen walking around in a cream coat, brown shirt and grey trousers.
In October the teen brutally attacked Vikki Marshall after she tried to get through to him after her played an extreme pornographic video in school.
In scenes inspired by Netflix‘s Adolescence, Joel hacked his teacher’s computer to play the footage and then attacked fellow teen Amy Mitchell.
After informing her dad about the attack, Jack, Denise and Priya all confronted Joel’s dad Ross about his behaviour and he shockingly defended his son.
He then privately told the teen off for his actions before Vikki sent him outside to avoid any violence between the father and son.
‘You know what, you can take your toxic masculinity and go and live with your mum,’ Vicki told Joel.
As the youngster said he hated women like her and his teacher, Vicki pushed him. ‘It is all a power trip and you know it,’ she said.
‘You get off in making women feel small. That’s why you told me I needed a good slap.
‘That’s not wrong? That’s not disgusting?”
She added: ‘Do you know how pathetic that is? How weak that makes you?
‘You are just a scared little boy who throws a tantrum when he doesn’t get his own way and it doesn’t matter what you hear on your stupid little videos because my eyes are open and I can see the truth.
‘You will never be a real man because you don’t even know what it means. You’re a pathetic little beta male, a silly little twerp.
‘And you should feel embarrassed, you should feel humiliated because I am so much stronger than you.’
In response to the telling off, Joel punched Vicki to the floor and proceeded to film her as she lay there bleeding.
Mocking her, the teen brutally continued to beat Vicki before eventually leaving the house – and potentially killing his stepmother.
The shocking world of incel culture was recently brought to the fore of British consciousness earlier this year through Netflix’s hit show Adolescence.

It centres around a teen boy, Jamie, who is accused of murdering one of his female classmates.
Through police interrogation, the horrifying truth of what really happened emerges over four episodes.
It shed a shocking light on the misogynistic world of incel culture and how it can inspire young men to commit acts of heinous violence.
