Dot Branning will be left in an impossible position on EastEnders later this month when her son Nick pressures her for drugs.

Viewers recently saw Nick's family turn their backs on him after discovering that he was responsible for the car accident on New Year's Day.

Despite this, Dot has struggled to apply the same treatment to her son, and she becomes increasingly worried when she finds him unwell as he continues hiding in the ruins of Number 23.

When Dot later returns from work and sees Nick, she realises that he is withdrawing from drugs and confronts him. A desperate Nick pleads with her to help him get more, but Dot is horrified by the suggestion.

Dot is put in an impossible position.
As Dot struggles with the tough position that Nick has put her in, Fatboy Chubb (Ricky Norwood) starts to grow suspicious of her behaviour.

Later, when he finds a piece of paper from Nick, Fatboy follows Dot and sees her leaving some dodgy flats.

It doesn't take long for the truth to dawn on Fatboy as he realises that she is covering for Nick, but how far has Dot gone to help her son?
