Fans pay tribute as Max Murray ‘confirmed’ as leaving EastEnders following Vicki attack

An insider has hinted at Joel's future

Max Murray is leaving EastEnders in the wake of toxic teenager Joel Marshall’s attack on Vicki Fowler, a source has revealed. Joel became the name on everyone’s lips this week, as he unleashed a terrible assault upon his stepmum in truly harrowing scenes.

After learning what Joel had done, dad Ross turned Joel’s laptop into the police. This included a video recording of Joel’s attack upon Vicki, as well as footage he’d uploaded to the Internet of himself sleeping with Avani.

Joel was in big trouble, and he did himself no favours during the subsequent interrogation. As Joel railed against his dad for Ross’s betrayal, he only succeeded in making himself look more deranged.
