EastEnders is lining up fresh turmoil for Mick Carter as he lands himself in financial trouble following his decision to bail Lee out of his mess.
Last night's episode of the soap saw Mick (Danny Dyer) give a struggling Lee a lifeline by offering to pay off his mounting debt.
However, his kind gesture comes with consequences as Mick soon finds himself in a similar position as he subsequently struggles to financially support his wife Linda and her seriously ill mum Elaine.
Linda is currently looking after Elaine after she suffered a stroke abroad, but as Elaine didn't have travel insurance, they're now facing a huge bill to get her home.

Scenes airing next week will see Mick desperately search for a way to find money to help the pair, but with his hands tight, he is eventually forced to go to desperate lengths.
You'll have to tune in to find out what exactly Mick does, but he also makes another surprising move when he demands that Lee send back a birthday present.
The events soon lead to a bitter clash between Aunt Babe and Whitney, but the bigger worry really lies with Mick. Will he be able to find a way out of his money problems?
EastEnders airs these scenes next week on BBC One.
