EastEnders’ bad boy Dean Wicks has made his return to Walford tonight, and actor Matt Di Angelo is already teasing his involvement in the upcoming Christmas murder. Fans will recall that Dean left the Square in 2016 after his family disowned him after finding out that he raped Linda Carter. However, he is back and ready to cause some drama, as he is the Beales’ new business partner, investing in Ian and Cindy Beale’s pie and mash business.
Dean’s return aired on Monday, 30 October, in some dramatic scenes – but 36 year old Matt has said that Dean “doesn’t want” to be back in Walford. Speaking about what fans can expect, Matt said: “In all honesty, he doesn’t want to come back to Walford. “He’s sort of forced back there because his daughter, Jade, is very ill.
She has cystic fibrosis and needs a transplant, which has to be done at the hospital nearby. Dean has to live there so he’s on call for her appointments and in case the transplant comes through, and they need to move fast. “He’s reluctant because he knows the repercussions of returning, but ultimately, he has to help his family.
Dean also needs to make a living whilst he’s there, so he’s invested in a new business, which will be revealed as Cindy and Ian’s new pie and mash shop, Beale’s Eels.” Many fans have been speculating that Dean could be the body that is on the floor of the Queen Vic on Christmas Day. Fans will remember that the soap aired a special flash forward episode earlier this year from Christmas Day which saw Linda Carter, Sharon Watts, Denise Fox, Stacey Slater, Kathy Cotton and Suki Panesar standing over a dead body. Since then, viewers have been speculating about who the body could be and Dean has been one of the characters who has been mentioned
