 In February 2012 , Anthony and Tyler get involved with criminal Derek Branning ( Jamie Foreman ) . Of this storyline Lapinksas said , " I loved the challenge . Every time you get a big storyline and lots of scripts , it 's fantastic – there 's lots to sink your teeth into . Myself , Jamie and Tony Discipline sat down and spoke about the scenes beforehand , discussing how we were going to perform them . It 's like taking on a new project , so every time I get a new storyline , I 'm hands @-@ on and ready to go for it . " On the scenes involving Anthony , Tyler and Derek , Lapinskas said , " I think it was definitely a shock for them to see his true colours ! Anthony was really worried as he didn 't want them to get into trouble , so as we saw , he was trying his best to get them out of it . But even though they were scared of Derek , Anthony and Tyler are brothers and they 've got each other 's backs , so it was nice that we saw them standing up to Derek in some of the scenes . "
