Who Plays Joel In Welcome To Eden?
In Season 2 of the Netflix Spanish drama "Welcome to Eden," the young adults stuck on the island with the community of Eden are just as consumed with trying to get off the island and back to their lives. But after the threat to Astrid (Amaia Salamanca), Ibón (Diego Garisa) killing Ulises (Alex Pastrana), and Charly (Tomy Aguilera) escaping the island in Season 1, a change in the guard was not unexpected.
While Charly is initially happy to be fished out of the ocean, he quickly realizes that his rescuers work for Eden. Joel is in command of the security team, and Astrid requests the presence of him and the rest of their security after the recent discontent on the island. Joel has no qualms about killing disobedient Eden members, and seems to relish making decisions to terminate problem people. He blindly does whatever is asked of him, seemingly with glee at every violent act he commits or observes. The actor who portrays the sadistic Joel is the actor Carlos Torres.
