Derek's son Joey Branning arrives, punching Derek. Joey tries to get Alice away from Derek but fails, even after goading Derek into becoming extremely angry. Eventually, Joey cons Derek out of money, which he pays to Lucy.
Derek dislikes Alice's relationship with Anthony. The two men play poker, and Anthony bets his business, losing it to Derek. Derek then forces Anthony to leave Walford, leaving Alice upset and angry. She decides to move out but changes her mind when Derek promises to not interfere in her life again.
Derek then becomes business partners with Tyler. Derek gives Alice a mobile phone, and he is unhappy when she gets a makeover.
He upsets her so much that she goes outside, and is mugged. Derek blames Tanya for giving her the makeover. Max backs her up, so Derek threatens to tell Tanya Max's secret. Alice then tells Derek that it was the phone that caused the mugging and forces him to apologise to Tanya.
Derek then guilt-trips Max into making him his best man for his upcoming second wedding to Tanya. Max later tells Derek that Jack is his best man which Derek pretends to take well but is actually hurt. A letter is sent to Carol from David but Derek hides it from her when she returns. Derek continues to remind Max about his secret, telling him that "they" want more money, and saying he will help as long as he throws Joey out, who is living with Max and his family.
Derek discovers that Joey is in a relationship with Lauren, his cousin. Lauren decides she and Joey have to leave Walford, and steal Derek's car. She crashes it into a shop and Derek rescues her and Joey from the building before it explodes.
Derek convinces Joey to take the blame to spare Lauren going to jail as she was drunk. Derek then blackmails Joey, telling him to either break up with Lauren or live with Derek and be a doting son, or he will tell the police the truth. Joey decides he hates Derek more than he loves Lauren so ends the relationship.
Derek also blackmails Tanya, saying he will tell Max she knew about Joey and Lauren's relationship if she does not convince Joey to stay in Walford.
Derek continues to alienate Max and Jack by appointing himself as the new best man for the wedding, and further upsets Jack and his girlfriend Sharon when he discovers Sharon's addiction to painkillers. Derek is beaten up by men involved with Max's secret, and Max gives him money for his honeymoon to pay them off, but Derek does not give it to them.
Derek blackmails Tanya again, this time into making Joey leave Walford. At Max's stag party, it is revealed that Kat Moon has been having an affair with Derek. Kat goes home with him and they talk about what has just happened. Derek tells her he loves her.
Kat finds a message on his phone that she left for him telling him to leave her alone. Derek says he will play it to her husband Alfie but instead he plays a message in which Kat says she wants to see Derek while Alfie is asleep.
Alfie punches Derek, warning him never to return to The Queen Victoria, and hands him his wedding ring. Derek is confronted by Max who tells him that after Christmas Day, he wants nothing to do with him. There has been a mixed reaction from EastEnders fans after Derek Branning was killed off in the Christmas special episode. There had been speculation for months that widely hated Derek would meet his grisly end in the festive edition of the BBC soap, with several other characters being touted as the potential murderer.
But it seems when the truth did finally out, the watered-down histrionics of an archetypal Walford Christmas disappointed, as the EastEnders baddie died of natural causes. Believing Derek would die at the hands of one of his brothers, Max and Jack, or Alfie Moon — whose wife Kat Derek has been having an affair with — viewers began the conjecture early on in the episode.
And believe us, his bark was nothing compared to his bite. It might be hard to imagine Derek in a relationship, but he was a charmer that had an unlikely way with the ladies. When daughter Alice returned to his life, we hoped that we might have seen a new, softer side to Derek… but apart from a heroic rescue of son Joey and niece Lauren from a burning building, it was been business as usual for dastardly Derek. Judgment Day came for Derek on Christmas Day, when brothers Max and Jack disowned him and threw him out of the house, causing a worked up Derek to die of a heart attack.
His brothers, son and ex-lover watched on as he died, not going to his aid until it was too late Can they live with this on their consciences? Only time will tell. Main content. Derek Branning Derek was old school, proper East End. Fact title Fact data First appearance: 29th April For most, finding yourself in the rain tearfully stuffing chips into your gob as you watch your sister and your ex bask in the glory of their love might inspire a flash of self-reflection.
Most, but not Eva Price. Instead, after watching Nick and Leanne together she resolved simply to break the pair up and clutch Nick once again to her breast, whether he was willing or otherwise. He's not quite the second division footballer she's always dreamed of, but he's got a shiny car, a shinier kitchen, and a girl's got to take what she can get. She needn't have bothered, though, as Peter Barlow turned up and sent Leanne's heart aflutter once more.
Peter's off the bottle and emitting a glow that could be either a Californian tan or the gleaming smugness of sobriety. Leanne was powerless to resist and, soon enough, could be found in her wedding dress begging to return to her old life of endless scowls above the bookies.
Thankfully, although not entirely fathomably, where Peter goes Carla follows, and at the sight of her, Leanne very wisely scarpered. You wouldn't guess it from her face, which bore more than a passing semblance to a smacked derriere, but Santa himself couldn't have delivered a better gift to Eva, who dutifully spewed details of the morning's events to the assemblage, and especially the groom.
Tears were cried, the wedding was abandoned.
