EastEnders' Joel Marshall returned to Albert Square tonight (28 July) following the vicious attack that left him unconscious in the park. Last week Joel was invited to the teens' end-of-term party as he tried to make amends for his crimes and show he had changed. Tonight, Lily confessed to her grandmother Jean that the group had tied up Joel and poured beer on him. At the hospital, Ross and Vicki told Joel he was being discharged and could come live with them. Later Amy, Ricky, and Lily discussed the video, with Amy and Ricky assuring Lily that Jack wouldn't show the police.
