EastEnders spoilers follow.

EastEnders will be airing twice tonight (January 11) as Aaron Monroe's story takes another sinister turn.

Fans missed out on their usual Monday visit to Walford on Monday (January 10), as there was no episode due to the football.

The live FA Cup match between Manchester United and Aston Villa aired on BBC One instead, but don't worry, as tonight's double instalment will make up for it.

EastEnders will broadcast back to back episodes at 7.30pm and then again at 8pm. Holby City will air at the later time of 8.20pm.

Tonight's trip to Albert Square will see Aaron have a sinister confrontation with far right group leader Neil.

Neil returns and throws Aaron against a wall, accusing him of being a grass.

When Aaron's dad Harvey orders him to leave, Neil gets nastier and threatens to hurt Dana.

Terrified for his sister, Aaron makes a plan to approach the rest of the group and convince them that Neil has lost his mind.

Despite Harvey's reservations, Aaron goes ahead with this and later reports back that he was successful with his plan, but now needs to take Neil's place by running the operation in Manchester.

The second episode will see Harvey desperately try to dissuade his son from taking the job, but Aaron insists that it's the only way to keep his family safe.

Later, Bobby spots something that worries him at the club and shares his fears with Dana.

Although Dana confronts her brother, Aaron turns the tables and accuses Bobby of manipulating her. He then suggests that Dana should join him in Manchester, but what will she do?

EastEnders airs these scenes tonight from 7.30pm on BBC One.
