The most recent return of Dean Wick to EastEnders, has raised many eyebrows. Especially from those that know his long and brutal history in Walford. He claims to have returned to town to stay close to his daughter, who is currently hospitalized. Dean’s arrival has not just triggered the viewers, but also ruffled feathers for many Walford residents. Especially, once the news of his business partnership with Cindy and Ian spread through the town.
But what is so evil about Dean that no one really wants him there on EastEnders? Actor Matt Di Angelo revealed in a recent media interaction that let alone others, Dean himself does not want to be in Walford. He is there only for his daughter. Jade is suffering from a cystic fibrosis and needs a transplant. Hence, he needs to be as close as possible, just in case a transplant option comes through. Matt admits that there are repercussions to his return and he knows it.
However, despite that, he needs to be there because come what may, he has to support his daughter on EastEnders. Dean has been on the BBC One soap, on and off, since 2006. Which means he has a long and messy history in Walford. However, the worst of it is connected to Linda. Thus, it comes as no surprise that the two of them have been constantly facing off with each other, ever since his arrival. In a recent episode, Dean accused Linda of writing “rapist” on the window of his and the Beale’s new venture.
Dean and Linda’s Twisted History on EastEnders
