Dean Wicks will turn his attention to taking revenge on Jean Slater next week as his sick actions with daughter Jade are finally exposed
Dean Wicks will take revenge on Jean Slater on EastEnders next week after his sick secret is exposed.
Jean has been helping Jade with her fundraiser but she is actually very ill, with Dean messing with her medication. Whilst viewers know what Dean is doing, the Square is completely unaware and are concerned about Jade struggling with her health.
Next week on the BBC soap, Jean is left shocked when she sees Jade back in the square so soon after going to hospital after she collapsed during the fundraiser at the Queen Vic. Dean leaves Jean in charge of Jade and making sure she’s ok when a reporter from the Walford Gazette requests an interview about all that’s been happening with Jade in the Square.
Johnny steps in and suggests he gives the interviewer a character reference on Dean, which will no doubt ire the businessman. Whilst she’s alone with Jade, Jean presses her about her health and discovers that Dean has been administering her medication.

She finds the empty pill cases and knows she needs to get Jade out of her dad’s house. When Dean arrives home, he is horrified to see Jean trying to take Jade back to the Slaters and in quick thinking, he blames Jean for Jade’s poor health.
Some fans have been speculating that Shabnam Masood could be making a return to the soap. The constant mentions of Shabnam have left some fans convinced she is on her way back to Walford for good, whilst others believe she could return for a brief role and take Jade back with her. This has further lead to speculation that a triple exit could be on the cards as there is no reason for Dean to be in the Square. Could this storyline end with a triple exit for all involved – or what twists and turns are ahead?
Back when he joined the soap, Matt Di Angelo – who plays Dean – teased trouble was ahead. He said: “Dean is back in Walford to help his daughter Jade, but to do that, he needs to make a living and be part of the community. I think the biggest challenge is going to be facing the residents of Walford, as everyone has very strong opinions on Dean, and rightly so.”
Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo) has been tampering with Jade Masood’s (Elizabeth Green) antibiotics in EastEnders, but unbelievably he was prepared to stoop even lower in recent scenes.
Jade recently revealed that she was planning to move to Pakistan with mum Shabnam as soon as she was well enough, which led possessive Dean to take drastic action against his daughter.
After she was diagnosed with a chest infection and given antibiotics, Dean began to empty out the capsules before giving them to her, so that she wouldn’t get better and would have to stay with him for longer.
In Monday night’s (March 18) episode, Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) was left worried when Jade had a serious coughing fit, and she soon managed to get a doctor to come round for an emergency appointment.
When Dean returned home and found out that the doctor was on his way, he instantly panicked about being found out.
In a shocking move, he manipulated Jade into lying to the doctor in a bid to save his own skin.
While the doctor was washing his hands, Dean told Jade he would likely send her back to hospital – somewhere Jade really didn’t want to be.
Dean managed to persuade Jade to lie to the doctor and tell him that she was feeling better in order to avoid a trip to hospital and, surprisingly, it worked.
However, Jean wasn’t very happy with the doctors assessment, and pointed out to Dean that Jade should have been admitted to hospital.
It was clear that Dean was fed up of Jean getting involved, and was soon insisting that she leave.
With the doctor gone, it seemed as though Dean had gotten away with it, until Jade came through holding his phone.
She revealed that he had been ignoring Shabnam’s calls and texts, and demanded answers.
