EastEnders spoilers: Dean Wicks takes vile action against daughter Jade Masood in sinister plot

This article contains spoilers from part two of Friday’s (March 1) EastEnders double bill, which has not yet aired on TV but is available to watch now on BBC iPlayer.

Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo) has once again proven just what a truly evil person he is in recent EastEnders scenes, after taking action against his own sick daughter.

The business owner was left furious this week when daughter Jade Masood (Elizabeth Green) announced that she was moving to Pakistan with mum Shabnam, and begged her not to go.

However, Jade argued that she missed her mum and wanted live with her, but promised to make the most out of the few weeks she had left in Walford.

Dean has taken vile action against Jade

In more recent scenes, Dean called in his solicitor to find out what rights he had over Jade, and was disappointed to learn that it was up to her which parent she chose to live with.

Determined to find some way of keeping her around, he managed to get an emergency doctor’s appointment for her nasty cough, and soon learnt that she was suffering from a chest infection.

While the doctor advised against Jade travelling, he left the final decision up to her, leaving Dean frustrated.

Back at home, he offered to sort out Jade’s antibiotics while she rested, and it soon became clear that he had a sinister plan.

While sorting through the medication, Dean opened up one of the pill capsules and emptied the contents into the sink, rendering it completely useless.

He then put it back into her pill case as though nothing had happened.

When Jade woke up, she revealed that she planned to stay with him until she was completely better, before flying out to join Shabnam in Pakistan.

As Dean gave her the pill he had tampered with, it became clear that he was serious about making her ill in order to keep her with him.

How long is Dean prepared to keep up this vile act? Will someone realise before Jade ends up seriously ill?
