EastEnders spoilers: Evil Dean Wicks kicks off sinister plot – against his own ill daughter
Jade has some news for her dad. But what will evil Dean have up his sleeve, and will Jade be safe?
Things are set to worsen for ill Jade Masood (Elizabeth Green) in EastEnders next week as her controlling dad Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo) does whatever it takes to force her to stay with him.
Viewers have seen Dean grow more protective of his daughter in recent weeks following her life-saving lung transplant surgery.
Cystic fibrosis sufferer Jade had been living with mum Shabnam (Rakee Thakrar) for several years after Dean lost custody when he was arrested for the attempted rape of Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons).
Her relationship with Shabnam has always been tense as she was placed up for adoption as a baby after she was conceived following a one night stand.
Jade has some news for her dad
This week, Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) encourages Walford teens Nugget Gulati (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury) and Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James) to befriend Jade as she’s spending most days trapped indoors, recovering from her operation.
But when she begins to hang around the square in the cold with her new mates, Dean fumes at her and orders her to go home.
In upcoming scenes, embarrassed by the way her dad has treated her in front of Nugget and Avani, Jade makes the bold decision to emigrate to Pakistan with her mum.
Following a heart-to-heart, Jean agrees to accompany Jade to Beale’s Eels to come clean to her dad about the situation – and he doesn’t take it well.
After contacting a solicitor to see where he stands in a custody battle with Shabnam, Dean is put out to learn there’s nothing he can do and devises a plot to ensure she’ll have to stay.
But what will evil Dean have up his sleeve, and will Jade be safe?
