The launderette worker - portrayed by June Brown - feels the need to intervene when she discovers the hunk (Jack Derges) has come up with a vindictive plan to take down the blonde bombshell (Samantha Womack) after she rummages through his pocket and finds a note while washing his clothes.

However, little does she know she may have just put Ronnie in even more danger as the mother-of-one rushes home to confront the pretend builder, who she has allowed to stay in her house after learning he's been kicked out of his flat, about why he's been sending her anonymous death threats.

A source told Inside Soap magazine: "Andy is still convinced he can cover his tracks, and he intends to keep lying till Ronnie believes him. It's just the two of them and Ronnie has no solid proof of anything in Andy's mind. One thing's for sure - Andy is simply not going to let Ronnie walk away from this situation and he will see his plan through."

Andy burst onto the scene last month when he managed to persuade Ronnie's boyfriend Jack Branning (Scott Maslen) to hire him as his property developer on his new home.

However, little did the businessman know that Andy is actually the adopted brother of Ronnie's dead daughter Danielle, who was run over and killed in 2009, and he's now on a mission to get revenge on the blonde beauty.
