EastEnders has hinted that the Carters could be in danger as Aidan (who is played by Patrick Bergin) continues to take revenge on Mick (Danny Dyer).
In upcoming episodes, Aidan ruthlessly targets the Carters in an attempt to bring Mick to his knees.
Viewers will see the family struggle to tackle a drug problem at the Queen Vic, which they discover is being orchestrated by Aidan.
As Aidan closes in on the family and threatens them, the Carters become fearful of what he could possibly do next.
Later, Aidan delivers Mick another terrifying warning, which could put the future of his family on the line.
Determined to get what he wants, Aidan forces Mick to meet up with him but it only leaves the pub landlord more frightful.
After Linda (Kellie Bright) returns from her short break, she is petrified to learn what has been happening in her absence.
Despite Mick’s efforts to convince her nothing is wrong, Linda can’t shake off the prospect of uncertainty.
Unfortunately, another situation arises, which leaves them both in doubt and fearing they could be in danger.
Eventually, things go from bad to worse when Aidan pressures Mick to accept a large sum of “hush money”.
When a troubled Linda finds out what Mick has done she decides something has to be done and attempts to sort it out.
Alarmed that Linda has involved herself, Mick makes the bold decision to protect his family at all cost.
Will Mick succeed in saving his family? Or will Aidan finally get the revenge he has been hoping for?
Meanwhile, tension grows between Mel Owen (Tamzin Outhwaite) and teenage son Hunter (Charlie Winter) as they try to settle into life in Albert Square.
Hunter will grow to dislike Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) when his mum begins to reject him in favour of working with Jack.
EastEnders airs tonight on BBC One at 7.30pm.
