There looks to be some scary times ahead in EastEnders later this month, as a worrying situation unfolds on Albert Square – but who is at the centre of this intriguing drama and how do things escalate for the characters involved?

Next Thursday, the BBC soap will air a special episode centred around an incident at Walford High which is started by troubled teens Joel Marshall and Tommy Moon.

It’s an event that sparks tense debate around Walford, as Vicki, Ross, Kat and Alfie attempt to put a lid on Joel and Tommy’s scary misogynistic views.

But later, the day takes an even more frightening turn when Joel suddenly turns violent and hits Vicki.

New spoilers released by the BBC reveal that in the very next episode, which will air on Monday, 13 October, a “worrying situation escalates in Albert Square”. Is this related to Joel’s actions or something else entirely?

Regardless, as the week continues, Ross is left shocked by recent events and struggles with the serious consequences of his son’s actions.

Meanwhile, it looks set to be all change for Elaine, as she makes some big plans and shares her scheme with Yolande.
