Phil's heart attack, Corrie scheming, E'dale row

This is the moment that Walford hardman Phil Mitchell suffers a heart attack in a dramatic episode of EastEnders due to air later this month.

The latest Albert Square drama kicks off when a scheming Phil demands £5,000 from Ian in return for keeping quiet about his affair with Glenda - warning that Jane will find out everything if he doesn't pay up.

At first, Ian thinks he can get out of the mess by begging Shirley for help, but she insists that he deserves everything he gets. Feeling helpless, Ian soon realises that he'll have to give into Phil's demands.

However, when he heads over to R&R to pay his arch-rival, Ian is shocked to find Phil and Glenda in a passionate clinch. Just as a huge confrontation seems inevitable, there's another twist in store as Phil collapses to the ground clutching his heart.

As Glenda rushes off to get help, Ian is left alone with his nemesis, who's in a desperate state. Will Ian help Phil or leave him for dead?

As Janice was heading off for a holiday at the time of the incident, the police question her about the cab firm that she used to get to the airport. When she confirms that it was Streetcars, it's not long before the finger of suspicion is pointing at Lloyd and he ends up being taken away for questioning.

Will Lloyd get the blame for a crime he didn't commit? And will he realise that he's being set up by Chris?
