EastEnders teenager Lucy Beale makes a dangerous enemy this evening (June 12) as she pushes Derek Branning too far.Tonight's episode sees Lucy (Hetti Bywater) continue her feud with Derek (Jamie Foreman), refusing to apologise when he confronts her over Alice's drunken state at the recent party.
Later, Lucy takes things a step further when she spots that Derek's parole officer is in the area. Stirring up trouble, she lets him know that Derek is responsible for all of the dodgy booze which has been doing the rounds in Walford.
Derek soon has to deal with fresh scrutiny surrounding his activities, which means that he can't spend time with Alice as planned. To Derek's dismay, Alice later declares that she wants nothing more to do with him following the latest let-down.
Knowing that Lucy is responsible for his troubles, Derek corners her when she is alone at the café and threatens her. Stealing money from the till, Derek says that Lucy will soon know exactly how much she has cost him…

The moment Derek stepped onto the Square, I thought..."Oh my, this guys looks like the devil without his horns." He just gives me the creeps when I hear his voice.

I wish someone would kill Derek, I can't stand that character. I hope his daughter keeps to her word and never has anything to do with him again. Derek is overdue a meeting with a baseball bat in a very dark alley or better still a shotgun at point blank range. Hopefully the actor himself will have a fatal accident then they'll have to kill off the character.

Sorry but an innocent man? Jamie Foreman has nothing to do with what his character says/does so don't say he should die!!!
