Dean Wicks plans escape to New York with daughter Jade in EastEnders
Could he push things even further by getting rid of Harvey?
DEAN Wicks reaches a new low to pay for a trip to New York to escape Walford with daughter Jade.
The twisted businessman – played by Matt Di Angelo – has resorted to desperate measures in recent weeks in a bid to keep his sick daughter Jade Green (Amaya Edward) with him in Walford.
Last week, Dean tampered with Jade’s oxygen tank as she attended her charity fundraiser at the Vic, prompting her to collapse on the ground.
Dean then blamed Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) for what had happened to Jade, but Jean and her partner Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman) have become suspicious of Dean’s strange behaviour.
Upcoming scenes with see Harvey set up an Easter hunt for the kids and he bribes Lily to invite Jade over so he can keep an eye on her.
He is reassured that Jade is on the mend, but Dean reacts badly to find her at No.31 which piques Harvey’s suspicions.
Harvey confronts Dean after he posts a slanderous message about him on an online community page.
He receives backing from Honey and Billy who vouch for Harvey’s character, while Harvey vows to get to the bottom of what Dean is doing to Jade’s health.
Dean tells Jade that he wants to go to Pakistan with her, but what lengths will he go to to get the money to go there?
Dean will stoop to new lows and steal money from her fundraising account.
He then suggests a new way for Jade to raise money for charity, and later tells her about a trip he’s booked for them both to New York.
Will Dean leave the country unscathed? Will Jade go with him once she finds out what her dad’s done?
