EastEnders spoilers follow.

EastEnders is lining up a shock collapse for conman Rocky next week, as his lies threaten to unravel.

Viewers know that Rocky (Brian Conley) is posing as Sonia's dad in a bid to scam her out of Dot's inheritance money.

Rocky's niece Dotty is in on the scheme, but their plan will run into problems when her mum Sandy returns to Walford.

Dotty is shocked and relieved when Sandy reappears at Ruby's, weeks after she went missing.

Desperate to help her, Dotty tells her mum she has been saving up for rehab and offers her a place to stay.

As Rocky prepares for his court appearance over Ethan's car's vandalism, he is unsettled when Dotty approaches him with a request.

Dotty explains that her mum is back in the Square and she needs Rocky to scam Peter for more cash to pay for Sandy's rehab.

With Rocky already uncomfortable about his mounting lies, things go from bad to worse when Sandy becomes immediately suspicious of his presence.

This is the final straw for an anxious Rocky, who tells Dotty he's leaving Walford the following day.

Rocky is planning his exit when Kathy interrupts him, wanting him to help her out at Walford East.

Rocky is confused when he turns up to find the restaurant empty but is touched when he realises that he's been thrown a surprise party for his 60th birthday.

Guilt-ridden, Rocky later tells Dotty he's decided to come clean to Kathy and Sonia over everything.

After the party, Rocky writes them a letter, but suddenly grabs at his chest and collapses.

As Rocky lies unconscious, Dotty tells her mum that she has paid a deposit for a spot at rehab – but Sandy is more interested in the money anyway.

Dotty is shocked when she returns to the house to see Rocky being carted off in an ambulance, but will he be okay? And will anyone find the letter now?

EastEnders airs these scenes on Monday, November 22 and Tuesday, November 23 on BBC One.
