EastEnders spoilers – Exit storyline confirmed for vile 𝕣apist Dean but will he pay the price at last?
Could Dean be on his way out?
EastEnders have teased a potential exit storyline for Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo) as he looks to flee the country with daughter Jade Masood (Elizabeth Green).
The relationship between Dean and Jade has been fraught ever since she returned to Walford at the end of last year.
Having been conceived as a result of a one night stand, her mum Shabnam (Rakhee Thakrar) put her up for adoption though Dean’s mum Shirley Carter (Linda Henry) later gained custody of his daughter.
After he was arrested for the attempted rape of Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons), Shirley handed her back over to her mum.
Could Dean be on his way out?
Arriving back in Albert Square ahead of life-saving lung transplant surgery, cystic fibrosis sufferer Jade was keen to make amends with her estranged dad but became concerned when he became too over protective.
Warning her from spending time with her new mates, his actions became a source of embarrassment for the teen.
When Shabnam reached out wanting her to move to Pakistan, Dean couldn’t bare to lose his daughter again and began a sinister plot to make her stay.
Fiddling with her medication, he didn’t realise the consequences of his actions until she was hospitalised.
Becoming suspicious, Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) egged him on to come clean – but he passed the blame onto Jade, saying she was responsible for messing up her pills.
In upcoming scenes, Jean’s boyfriend Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman) bribes Lily Slater (Lillia Turner) into inviting Jade over to No. 31 so that he can keep an eye on her.
When Dean reacts badly to her being at the Slater house, Harvey becomes more suspicious and is furious to see that he’s posted a slanderous message about him across social media.
When Chelsea Fox (Zaraah Abrahams) gives him some home truths, she forces him to remove the post about Harvey.
As the net closes in, Dean decides to sell his share of Beale’s Eels to Ian and Cindy Beale (Adam Woodyatt and Michelle Collins) and tells Jade that he’s booked them both a trip to New York.
Will his plan to do a moonlight flit be rumbled in time?
