EastEnders airs disturbing threat from Joel Marshall in BBC iPlayer release
**Warning: Contains major spoilers for the Thursday 14th August 2025 BBC iPlayer episode of EastEnders.**
Joel Marshall (Max Murray) issued a menacing threat towards stepmum Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) in Thursday’s (14th August 2025) EastEnders.
Having escaped the consequences for his vile illegal footage of women, and for leaking Stacey Slater’s (Lacey Turner) private pictures and videos, Joel continued to do whatever he liked.
The teen was furious when, earlier this week, he learned that Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James) had been pregnant with his baby, but had just had a termination, all without his knowledge.
Despite his dad Ross (Alex Walkinshaw) urging him not to speak to Avani, Joel headed over to her father Ravi Gulati’s (Aaron Thiara) flat to see her.
When Joel nastily threw his weight around about Avani’s abortion, her mum Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy) held Ravi back from attacking Joel and ordered the lad away.
Ross told Joel that it wasn’t so long ago men had no choice but to marry a woman he had got pregnant, but times had changed, adding that Joel had better use protection in the future.
