Brain Donor Jaime Foreman, can play psychos & gangsters, well, because he grew up around these people & I can say, that his version of Derek Branning is scary & even Micheal French ( The David Wicks actor) was scared of him for real,for a few seconds-as Jaime probably added a few unscripted actions, like more physical violence, etc. Jaime might be a one-dimensional, crap actor, but he’s nailed playing villains well & they cast him, in Eastenders,for this reason.
Jamie Foreman’s performance in this scene is absolutely amazing. One of the best acting performances I’ve seen on a soap. Shame he was killed off, they could have done a lot more with Jamie Foreman’s talent.
@@evanallaire2829 Lol what? Maybe Derek wasn’t a full on villain but he was not a good person, he was a piece of shit and a bullying control freak, especially when Jamie Foreman took over the role
ZaynJavaddMaalikxo they should have made it a running joke with max to go round everytime a death occurs.. What's the problem 'ere then Maxey boi? Ah well you see young squire he's dead *eastenders theme* Would have also made the death with peggy more comical "She's dead.. Oh and also she's saying something along the lines of... Yes..

@@hollyandrews1516 Prob thought he was faking it for attention. Nothing any of them could have done either way, he was done for once it started, he was dead as soon as he hit the floor
Jake Wood is an incredible actor, steals the scene in every scene he’s in. Only people who’ve acted will appreciate this guy, incredibly good actor, too good for a soap opera tbh.
He’s not bad but he wasn’t too good for Eastenders, no way. He’s a tv actor so being in that was good for his career, sometimes his acting was laughable but he made that role his own, he is Max. They couldn’t get anyone else to play him now, be too weird. Can’t all be like Ben Mitchell lol
@@PBL187 watch his emotions and how believe they are compared most of the other soap actors, best crier, played angry very well, could Nick a bird too good for him and make it realistic etc, very good actor, very rarely seen him have a stinker of a scene, was usually the best actor in the episode when i watched it, and I only really watched it from an acting stand point Hence why I can’t bare to watch it anymore🤣
They can be, other times they can be quite silent and not really be any more uncomfortable than having mild indigestion. Severe chest pain is typically more common in male heart attack victims than females.
Great acting from Jamie a Foreman as always but they killed Derek off far too soon they could have don't so much more with him. Danm you Eastenders your to trigger happy!
Marmiteman8767 I saw him in my estate once mistook his car for someone else he wasn't too appy so method darling seriously he wasn't a good actor just snorted like a grunting pig half the time !😣
I liked Dereks character, but I felt like they never really went far enough with him. His feud with Phil showed potential, but was ultimately disappointing. Would have liked to see him stick around for a few more years.
Yeah same. Underneath the family man persona he had a genuinely intimidating and menacing presence. You knew he wasn’t a bloke to be messed with. That’s why I love characters like Derek, they showcase the darker and grittier side of the show, rather than the constant Whitney love stories we’ve had shoved down our throats for years.
They didn't know he was having a heart attack, I think Max and Jack thought he was just playing for sympathy and attention, it's only until he really started collapsing and wasn't responding they knew he was having a heart attack.
@@pauljohnson6019 True. Besides, if even if they helped or called 999; it wouldn’t done anything. The heart attack was extremely massive that once it started, it was game over for Derek
Explosive scene, extremely well acted. Jake wood, playing Max, is a great cirier - one of the best in the show. I was not watching the show at this time, so I love to take sneak peeks at things I have missed. I just started watching again after missing about 15 years. Sometimes it's so hard to find in the US that I just gave up for quite a while (I live in Queens, NY.) Now I'm back! God bless TH-cam! Thanks so much for uploading these.
Jamie Foreman was never a gangster irl. That was his dad Freddy, and I’m certain I read somewhere that Freddy didn’t want Jamie to be like him, but I could be mistaken about that
In about 2008 when the Brannings were a central family I heard theyhad another brother called Derek and always thought he'd be an interesting character to bring back but when they did bring him back he was wasted.
Christmas Day in 2012, few months after my Grandmother passed away. Derek Branning was shouting at his brothers about the night of her coffin (Funeral) and their Girlfriend (Relationship). Then, he has Kat and his brothers grabed him and throw him outside. And, he suffered a massive heart attack, he pounced dead.
I remember I was so disappointed in this scene because I heard Derek was going to die on Christmas and was expecting him to be killed off, but instead he just randomly dies.
This was actually an accident on set. Derek was supposed to fall down the stairs but he got to scared to but the camera man was low on battery so he kept filming and then Derek had a real heart attack because he hated Joey so much he couldn't stand to live in the same universe as him and so he died in real life but the directors just couldn't be bothered to go over and help him because he's so ugly they wanted him dead and instead of using more battery on the camera they decided to just go with this.
I think joey doesn’t like what his dad is like but deep down still love his dad I think he hate how he treat him as a child but didn’t want this happen to him
At 2:56 is that an ambulance i hear in the background lol only in a soap who calls an ambulance that quickly i might b wrong might b police instead the sirens sound for police and ambulance is same right?
It's so sad because even though Joey hated Derek, he still calls him dad at the end, and you could see that he really wanted to help him :(
Like a cross between Billy and Barry
"I AM DEWWIK BWANNING!"
lol

Typical Eastenders always killing off the entertaining characters.
Entertaining?
Well if you call hitting and threatening women and girls, forcing Lucy to hand over takings from the chippy, entertaining...
aah, those were the days.
Daniel Phillips This was like 5 yrs ago,fucking get over it.
Derek Branning died of a heart attack on 25 December 2012
And always at Christmas. If I lived in Walford I'd board up my windows and doors at Christmas, Valentines Day, My Birthday, New Years Eve etc.
This Derek was way tougher than the original Derek
Arse Robinson I know the original Derek was a wimp but doing time changed him
ook!😀i didnt see that one
Arse Robinson He’s the son of a real gangster, Freddie Foreman, so thats probably why he’s so authentic.

So they just stand there and watch him have a heart attack? Pretty brutal even for East Enders.
Are you kidding me? If they had walked away and shut the door, that would have been 100 times better.
Streatham Soprano I know
and then they walk out in the morning time and find him lying there and they are totally gobsmacked
Glad they did deserved every second of it
@@dannyjason7895 Exactly ! Happy they just let him die and how he was treated

Jamie foreman is a incredible as a bad guy, such a under rated actor. I wish he had stayed a lot longer
He's a bloody good actor x x

nah, i'm glad he was killed off
Yeah he defo should have been in it for longer #Overruled 💯

Its 3am in the morning and I dont even watch eastenders but yet here I am watching this.
When Jack and Joey were trying to throw Derek out, for some reason I couldn't stop laughing. 😂😂
just me who noticed joey called Derek dad for the first time!!! I think?!
Keeva Fitzgerald ik I noticed that to
When I first watched this, I remember being scared shitless. Derek’s actor made a heart attack look sooo painful... I hope I never have one...

Jamie Foreman was & always will be, by far the best actor this soap will ever have

This was an awful decision to kill Derek off. He was a brilliant character.
10ronaldinho11drogba I agree
I cheered when he died. Absolutely diabolical caricature of a character. 2012 was the show's worst year ever IMO
Derek was such a great character. Would of loved him to of stayed and still be there now. Could you imagine him and Max now.
mystery no one called ambulance but one is on its way well done EastEnders
It was probably for someone else. Sirens are always background sound in EE.
Its just the sound of sirens lol not ambulance for him
Anyone watching in the upcoming to Christmas 2019???

welcome to Albert square where drama exists and CPR doesn't
Haha true lol
Literally heart broken...
All the shouting and the stress has got the better on derek branning thanks to the blood pressure going up
Great actor always liked him 👏🏾👏🏾
1:50 that’s the last thing he said before the blood pressure went up and it finished him off

Nah, that's Claude Speed from the GTA 2 short film
Derek was a gangster in real life😂

Derek was right about Tanya being snobby and stuck up. She always thought she was better than everyone else. So does that spoiled brat Abi.
01:23 to 01:27. How you react, when you find out someone has eaten your pringles
Loved Derek in eastenders great actor
R.I.P Derek Branning
GET HIM OUT OF HERE
GET HIM OUT OF HERE
GET HIM OUT OF HERE
Callum Boardman think max might have wanted him out of his house 🤷🏻♂️
When he says “I’ve got my Kat” all I can hear is “I’ve got my CAT…THE FIRST OF MANY MANY CATS!!!”
I have anxiety and panic attacks and flashbacks PTSD because of my past and I have two panic attacks everyday at school and one at home ones
I’m sorry. I hope you’re better now 😢
I miss him
I know he made me laugh.

kickass killer i miss him so much too.
loved derek
I remember I was so disappointed in this scene because I heard Derek was going to die on Christmas and was expecting him to be killed off, but instead he just randomly dies.
Bit harsh how they all just stood there and watched him Die
He’s head of the table
Well he got his wish, it was his final Christmas and he wanted to finish it in peace and quiet...... by keeling over and popping his clogs 🤣😂
And a Happy New Year! Such a cheerful place that Albert Square...
I remeber this when I was 8 years old
Are you mugging me off in front of my mates?
Are u from eastenders?
A tragic end to a popular character
Bring derrick back from the dead !!
I know the feeling derek I know the feeling
Another cheery Christmas in Albert Square.
They should have had Max and Jack kill Derek. Him dying of a heart attack was stupid.
Did anyone realise this was the 10 year anniversary of Jamie Mitchell's death

Put the respek in the family Derek
he deserves to have more friends derek does.
Gotta say it again, Derek looks like an Italian Mafia hshaaa
Joey's reaction is poor acting...
Totally
RsBerzerkaVG The character is just confused weither to help his dad or leave him.
I think they were trying to make joey confused whether he should help Derek or not
I agree, ham acting at it’s very worse, my cats could do better lol
AND WIM YE HED OF DIS FAMILY
When He dies: Not any more
Was laughing when Max started crying.
They need characters like this in the show
At 2:56 is that an ambulance i hear in the background lol only in a soap who calls an ambulance that quickly i might b wrong might b police instead the sirens sound for police and ambulance is same right?
I liked it when he mentioned the undertaker
Alternate ending.
Kat "Leave 'im, Joe. Get up. Derek, get up."
Derek gets up in front of everyone.
_Derek blushes and mutters "Well it was worth a try... F***ing Kat!"_
couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
They stood there while someone was having a heart attack? That's terrible even by today's standards.
They thought he was faking it to get their attention until at the last second when Joey runs down
This is one of those weird memories from my childhood, I would have been around 10 when I first saw this
wow i'm old
Lucky man, wish I could go that quick
I do remember the actor who played Derek branning the actor name is jamie Foreman he was a taxi cabbie in the film called the football factory
I remember I saw this 6 years ago when I was eight I walked into the sitting room and saw him having a heart attack
I AM DEREK BRANNING AND I AM THE HEAD Of This Family
