The news has spread like wildfire – Dean Wicks has officially left EastEnders. But before we start shedding tears and saying our goodbyes, there's a glimmer of hope that we might see him again. In a recent interview, EastEnders boss Chris Clensaw hinted that Dean's departure may not be permanent, despite the character being sentenced to nine years in jail.
Dean's return to the BBC soap last year caused quite a stir. The Six had framed him for the murder of Keanu Taylor, seeking revenge for his past actions of raping Linda Carter during his previous stint on the show. The drama has been building since then, and last week's episodes saw Dean's murder trial take a dramatic turn. He finally confessed to raping Linda, casting doubt on her previous testimony that she had seen him dragging Keanu's body into the café on Christmas night.
As if that wasn't enough, EastEnders' official Instagram account confirmed that Dean's final scenes have now aired. The post paid tribute to the talented actor Matt Di Angelo, who portrayed the devious Dean Wicks. A video accompanied the post, showing the cast and crew bidding farewell to Matt on his last day of filming. But amidst the emotional goodbyes, executive producer Chris Clenshaw's speech hinted at Dean's future.
Chris praised Matt for bringing one of the most vile and hated characters on British TV to life. And while he acknowledged that Dean may have finally gotten what he deserved, he couldn't help but tease that this may not be the last we see of him. Could this mean that Dean will return for a retrial? Or will he eventually be acquitted of Keanu's murder?
In the latest episode, Linda finally confessed to killing Keanu, but her confession was met with disbelief from the police. The horror of the other women's involvement in covering up the murder was revealed to Keanu's sister, Bernie Taylor. And instead of turning them into the authorities, she fled to Germany, seemingly letting The Six off the hook. But for how long?
With all this suspense and unanswered questions, it's no wonder that fans are already speculating about the future of Dean Wicks. But for now, we can only wait and see what happens next on EastEnders. Don't forget to tune in Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One (or catch up on iPlayer) for all the latest drama.
