EastEnders is reportedly making a documentary around themes of misogyny, something which is currently being explored in the BBC One soap.
Teenager Joel Marshall (Max Murray) is at the centre of a toxic masculinity storyline in which he has sexually assaulted a stranger on a train while getting his friend to film it, recorded himself being intimate with Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James) without her permission, and leaked adult footage of Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) online.
It was also revealed that the reason Joel couldn't return to Australia was because he had taken a photo under a girl's skirt, and Ross paid off the family to avoid going to the police.
According to The Sun, the new documentary will feature cast members from the soap, and executives hope it will open up further discussions.
The BBC declined to comment on the report when approached by RadioTimes.com.
However, we understand the documentary is in its early stages and will arrive on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer later this year to coincide with relevant scenes on-screen.
This wouldn't be the first time EastEnders has produced a documentary based on a storyline, with the soap tackling the issue of knife crime in a special episode and follow-up on BBC Three back in 2018.

The limited series tackles the issue of radicalisation through online 'incel' propaganda – something Joel is also embedded in, with viewers following his obsession with a male influencer who spews toxic views, which Joel appears to adhere to.
