EastEnders' Joel Marshall finally punished for sick acts after shock 'illegal' discovery
Joel Marshall was caught by his father Ross in tonight's episode of EastEnders, as he made a shock discovery on his son's laptop.
Since joining the show earlier this year, fans have been aware of Joel's misogynistic mindset and have witnessed some of his sick acts, including assaulting a stranger on a tube and recording himself being intimate with Avani. It was later revealed that Ross paid off a girls' mother in Australia, after he had up skirted a girl in his class.
Ross later found the video of Avani, but Joel managed to talk himself out of things once again. In tonight's episode however, it appeared Joel's father had finally had enough of his sick acts - as he made a shock discovery. It comes after an EastEnders legend was rushed to hospital after a deadly attack by a familiar face.
Ross and Joel sat down in the living room sharing beers as Joel showed his father a video of influencer Drake Zagan, who he seems to idolise. As Joel walked out the room, Ross was left disgusted when he heard Drake saying feminism was a lie, and that a women's only job is to find a boyfriend.
He was then left raging when he found a number of "100% illegal" up skirting and changing room videos on his teenage son's laptop, as he threw his laptop in the sink with the water running.
"I do not want this filth in my house!", Ross exclaimed. "You are a revolting, arrogant disgusting little pervert!"
Fans were left overjoyed that Ross had finally clocked on to how much of a "creep" his son was.
Taking to Reddit, one fan penned: "Hallelujah Ross has finally wised up to his creepy son," as another penned: "Why has it taken that long for Ross to realise what a creep his son is? At least he's finally doing something about it."
Another fan wrote: "wheyyyy ross finally grew a fkn backbone."
The explosive scenes come just after Joel's mum was mentioned for the first time. Last night, we learnt Joel's mum was called Cleo, and cheated on Ross while in Australia. It came after fans believed his mum was Zoe Slater, in line with her return.
Despite this, fans are still convinced that Zoe is Joel's mum, with many believing Cleo is a "cover up name."
There's more drama for Joel next week, as spoilers reveal he's left reeling when he finds out Avani has had a termination without him even knowing she was pregnant with his baby.
How will the storyline progress - and will we ever meet Joel's mum?

The stamps showcase highlights including the Spanish Inquisition, the Ministry Of Silly Walks, the Lumberjack Song, the Dead Parrot Sketch, Nudge Nudge, and Spam. The Spam sketch is one of the TV favourites celebrated in the stamp set (Royal Mail/PA) Formed in 1969, Monty Python was one of the UK's best-known comedy troupes, made up of comics Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Sir Michael Palin and Terry Gilliam.

Fritzl case led Badenoch to ‘reject God', says Tory leader
The case of Austrian sex offender Josef Fritzl caused Kemi Badenoch to lose her faith in God, the Conservative leader has said. In an interview with the BBC, Mrs Badenoch said she was 'never that religious' while growing up but 'believed there was a God' and 'would have defined myself as a Christian apologist'. But this changed in 2008 when she read reports that Fritzl had imprisoned and repeatedly raped his daughter, Elisabeth, in his basement over 24 years. Mrs Badenoch, whose maternal grandfather was a Methodist minister, said: 'I couldn't stop reading this story. And I read her account, how she prayed every day to be rescued. 'And I thought, I was praying for all sorts of stupid things and I was getting my prayers answered. I was praying to have good grades, my hair should grow longer, and I would pray for the bus to come on time so I wouldn't miss something. 'It's like, why were those prayers answered and not this woman's prayers? And it just, it was like someone blew out a candle.' But she insisted that while she had 'rejected God', she had not rejected Christianity and remained a 'cultural Christian', saying she wanted to 'protect certain things because I think the world that we have in the UK is very much built on many Christian values'. During her interview, which is due to be broadcast on Thursday evening, Mrs Badenoch also said her tenure as Conservative leader was going 'well', adding her job was to 'make sure that people can see that we are the only party on the centre-right'. In an apparent dig at Nigel Farage's Reform UK, she said: 'There are pretenders. We're the only party on the centre-right, and we're the only ones who still believe in values like living within our means, personal responsibility, making sure that the government is not getting involved in everything so it can focus on the things it needs to look at, like securing our borders.' She went on to defend previous comments saying the fact she had worked at McDonald's made her working class, saying: 'I had to work to live. 'That, for me, is what being working class is. It's the lifestyle that you have. You have to work, to survive.' And she argued that parents who were 'worried about their children getting stolen or snatched' had created a younger generation that lacked the 'resilience' to deal with problems in life. Responding to figures suggesting a quarter of people aged 16-24 said they had a mental disorder, Mrs Badenoch said: 'I think they think they have a mental disorder, I don't think they all have a mental disorder.' She added: 'I'm not a medical expert so it is not my expertise on exactly what we need to do to get them into work, but we should be trying to get them into work.'
