End of the line for 𝕖vil EastEnders r𝕒pist as enemies get rid of him for good

Evil rapist Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo) has caused a lot of heartache since returning to EastEnders, but now his enemies are determined to get rid of any trace of him.

Dean returned to Albert Square last year in a bid to spend more time with ill daughter Jade Masood (Elizabeth Green), and his sudden appearance sent Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) spiralling.

Dean raped Linda back in 2014, before attempting to rape Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons) months later, though he was found not guilty of the crime and chased out of the Square.

It was also revealed that he had gone into business with Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins), who was unaware of his history, much to the horror of Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt).

There will be no trace of him left

Dean made further enemies when it was revealed that he had been tampering with Jade’s medication in order to stop her moving to Pakistan, before blaming Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) and targeting Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman) in a public smear campaign.

This left Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) furious, and she soon enlisted the help of The Six to frame Dean for Keanu Taylor’s murder.

Linda Carter was moments away from confessing to stabbing Keanu to death on Christmas Day, when the rest of the women stepped in to inform her of their new plan to make Dean pay for everything he’d done.

Sure enough, their plan worked, and Dean has since been charged with Keanu’s murder.

Back on the Square, Peter Beale (Thomas Law) recently revealed the family’s plans to totally reboot Beale’s Eels and blast out the memory of Dean for good – completely erasing any trace of him.

Is Albert Square finally set to be free of Dean for good – or will he find a way to prove his innocence and return for revenge?
