EastEnders' Michael Moon will get a chance to mend the rift between him and his brothers in an upcoming storyline, it has emerged today.

Michael has been snubbed by Tyler (Tony Discipline) and Anthony (Matt Lapinskas) since his twisted revenge scheme was exposed in the summer, but the duo need his help in early February as they find themselves in trouble with Derek Branning.

As seen in the official spoilers for forthcoming episodes, Derek will soon threaten Anthony and Tyler for the money they owe him - sending the pair into a panic.

When the siblings don't have enough cash to pay Derek back, Albert Square's newest villain insists that they carry out a dodgy job for him instead - otherwise he'll break their legs.

While Tyler decides to go ahead with working for Derek, Anthony isn't keen and decides that it's time to ask Michael (Steve John Shepherd) for assistance.

However, reports in All About Soap and Soaplife have revealed that Michael deals with the request in a surprising fashion - locking Anthony in the boxing gym while he calls the police to report Derek!

Later, Tyler, Anthony and Michael are all at the scene of the dodgy job to see Derek's van surrounded by police officers. Will Michael end up regretting shopping in Derek? And will relations between him and his brothers get back on track?

EastEnders airs these scenes on Thursday, February 2 at 7.30pm on BBC One.

Andrew proposes to Heather

Over on EastEnders, Andrew Cotton shows off a hidden talent as he attends an exercise class in an upcoming episode.

Kim (Tameka Empson) organises a 'Kimba!' class at the community centre later this month after boasting to newcomer Ray about her love of fitness - but it turns out that her dancing isn't up to scratch.

While Kim disappoints, Andrew (Ricky Grover) surprises everyone by displaying some epic dance moves - impressing his girlfriend Heather.

Heather (Cheryl Fergison) later asks Andrew whether he can teach young George the same moves when he's older. Is Heather ready to settle down with Andrew?

EastEnders' Shirley Carter faces turbulent times next week as she tries desperately to get the Mitchell family back on track.

Ben's decision to report Phil (Steve McFadden) to the police with a false allegation recently caused shockwaves for his loved ones, but upcoming episodes see the Albert Square clan rally round the troubled teen in the hope that he will see sense.

When Shirley (Linda Henry) calls a Mitchell meeting to discuss the situation, she decides that the best option will be to kill Ben with kindness - believing that he'll then get back on side and help Phil to get out of his mess.

However, scheming Ben (Joshua Pascoe) can't be won round so easily and makes it clear to his family that it'll take more than a nice chat to change things.

Things get worse for the Mitchells when villainous Derek (Jamie Foreman) starts to interfere, telling Ben privately that he should visit his father in prison to have some 'fun' with him.

Taking the advice on board, Ben - now staying with Ian - finally tells Shirley that he's ready to see his father at the jail.

When Ben does come face-to-face with Phil, he instantly rejects his dad's attempts to bury the hatchet - making it clear that he wants him to stay in prison for a long time.

Ben's twisted outburst continues as he declares that he'll dance on his father's grave once he dies.

Phil and Shirley are left horrified by Ben's words and the realisation that he won't be changing his story over Stella anytime soon. Has Phil's best hope of a release been lost?

EastEnders airs these scenes on Thursday, February 2 and Friday, February 3 on BBC One.

Monday

nthony enjoys a breakfast date with Amira and promises her a surprise gift when she complains about life as a single mum. However, Anthony soon has more than romance on his mind when Derek turns up at the emporium to demand the money that he's owed. Anthony manages to earn a day's grace from Derek with the excuse that the bank won't be open until tomorrow, but he privately admits to Tyler that they don't have the full £4,000 to pay Derek back. The brothers decide to sort out the situation by selling an expensive necklace that a customer was interested in and asking Patrick for rent. However, when Amira pays a visit and compliments the necklace, a smitten Anthony declares that it's her surprise and hands it over for free.


Realising that they may not have the £4,000 by tomorrow, Anthony makes an ill-advised attempt to impose terms on Derek - suggesting a weekly repayment plan. However, Derek insists that he expects £4,000 by 9am tomorrow or there'll be trouble. Things go wrong even further when Patrick can't come up with the rent money and Anthony ends up losing money by desperately gambling on a horse. Now further away from the full amount than they were before, are the Moon brothers about to face Derek's wrath?


Meanwhile, Tyler steps in to give Whitney a driving lesson when Fat Boy can't do so as he originally planned. Later, at a house party, Lucy winds up Whitney about her feelings for Tyler - before taking her mischief a step further by dancing raunchily with Fat Boy. Whitney then loses it with Lucy and launches herself at her. Soon afterwards, Whitney and Tyler have a brief heart-to-heart in the bathroom, but then accidentally lock themselves in. When Fat Boy finds the pair together, he assumes that Whitney has cheated on him and ends their relationship.

Elsewhere, Andrew shows a hidden talent for dancing when Kim arranges a 'Kimba' class at the community centre, while Patrick is downbeat about his financial difficulties.

Tuesday

Anthony and Tyler arrive for work at the antiques emporium to find Derek waiting there for them. As they don't have the full £4,000 to pay him, Derek decides to offer them an alternative - suggesting that they could do a dangerous job for him instead. He explains that it's a choice between the money, the job or broken legs and he wants an answer by 3pm. Panicking, Anthony wants to ask Michael for help - but Tyler won't hear of it, and with no other option, they're forced to tell Derek that they'll do the job for him that night. Patrick feels guilty over his part in the brothers' problems, so he agrees to help out by being the driver for the night.


Later, Anthony decides to ignore Tyler's wishes and seeks help from Michael. Michael refuses to hand over any cash, but still wants to keep the boys out of trouble - so he locks Anthony in the boxing gym's office! However, Anthony soon breaks out - not wanting to leave Tyler to face the job on his own. A three-way chase then develops with Tyler rushing to make it to the job, Anthony hurrying to join Tyler at the scene, and Michael following. By the time all three Moon brothers have arrived at the scene, Derek's van is surrounded by police following a tip-off from Michael. Furious, Derek vows that Tyler and Anthony are dead men walking…

Meanwhile, Dot tries to convince Fat Boy that he's wrong about Whitney cheating on him. Fat Boy then goes to find Whitney and they agree to meet at The Vic later to sort things out. At the same time, Whitney is also concerned at playgroup after noticing that Amy has misbehaved by pinching George. Whitney brings up the situation with Jack and Roxy, but Sophie suggests that she should just leave it.

Elsewhere, Heather is shocked as Andrew proposes to her and she delightedly accepts.


Thursday

Patrick and Derek haven't been charged by the police as they couldn't prove intent. However, a furious Derek still confronts the Moon brothers at the R&R - complaining that the old bill are now watching him like hawks and he'll lose out on money from dodgy activities as a result. Patrick then defends Anthony and Tyler and claims that he was the one who called the police. Derek doesn't believe this claim, but when Patrick pushes the bad boy too far, Tyler steps in - only to be on the receiving end of Derek's superior strength. Derek eventually demands an inflated payment of £8,000 from the Moons as a punishment - announcing that he's already taken the emporium as collateral.


Over at the boxing gym, Michael wants to escape the heat by leaving Walford for a few days. However, Anthony and Tyler soon enter - having figured out that he was the grass. Janine offers to fix everything by paying the debt herself, but Michael isn't keen on the idea - telling Anthony and Tyler that he's happy to be their brother if they want one, but he's not going to be a meal ticket. Later, though, his conscience is pricked when he sees how desperate the pair really are. What will happen when Michael then pays Derek a visit?


Meanwhile, Shirley gathers the Mitchells to discuss how they can get Ben back on their side. The family try their best to kill Ben with kindness and include him again, but he's not receptive to their efforts - insisting that it won't be so easy to get him to return home and visit Phil. Later, Heather shares the news of her engagement at The Vic, but her thunder is stolen when Ian and Mandy announce their own plans for a lavish ceremony at the pub. However, Shirley is delighted by Heather's news and joins the locals in celebrating her best friend's happiness.

Elsewhere, when Whitney spots Roxy and Jack arguing, she reprimands them over Amy's bullying at playgroup - suggesting that family troubles could be causing her behaviour. A livid Roxy then calls Sophie to complain about Whitney.



Friday

Shirley pays a visit to the Beale house to see Ben, telling him that Phil misses him. However, Ben is reluctant to be taken in by her claims - knowing that she just wants him to change his police statement. Later, Ben speaks to Derek about the situation and the Square's bad boy advises him to visit Phil at the prison - but only to have some 'fun' with him. Taking the advice on board, Ben tells Shirley that he's changed his mind and is finally ready to see Phil.

As Phil comes face-to-face with Ben at the jail, he tries to convince his son that they can put everything behind them if he sees sense and puts a stop to this. However, vengeful Ben insists that he wants Phil to be in prison for a long time - adding that he'll dance on his grave when he dies. Is all hope lost for Phil?

Meanwhile, Whitney is sent home from work when Sophie tells her that she shouldn't have interfered with the Roxy and Jack situation. An upset Whitney then breaks the news to Bianca that she's in danger of losing her job at the playgroup. Bianca later heads over to see Roxy and Jack, who have called a truce for Amy's sake. When Bianca explains that Whitney is now in trouble thanks to Roxy, Jack steps in to resolve the situation - ensuring that Whitney keeps her job.

Elsewhere, Lucy deliberately interrupts a passionate moment between Ian and Mandy as the two blondes in Ian's life continue to compete for his attention.
