Dean's future is decided as he prepares for his murder trial in the latest shocking events on EastEnders.

Next week in EastEnders, the highly anticipated trial for Keanu's murder is drawing near and it seems like Dean Wicks will be the one taking the fall for it. It's a tragic turn of events for Dean, who is innocent of the crime. The fans of the BBC One soap will remember the chaotic events that took place after six Walford women were involved in covering up Keanu Taylor's murder. Sharon Watts, Stacey Slater, Linda Carter, Suki Panesar, Kathy Cotton, and Denise Fox are the women in question, and they have been through a tumultuous few months trying to keep their involvement a secret.

On Christmas Day, Linda fatally stabbed Keanu and the other women helped her to bury his body under the burnt-out café. But their efforts to hide the crime were not very well executed, as the floor eventually caved in, revealing Keanu's body. The women were desperate to protect themselves and Linda's daughter, Jade, from Dean, who had been threatening to harm Jade's health by tampering with her medication. They resorted to planting evidence and framing Dean for the murder, making it seem like he was trying to flee the scene.

Despite being behind bars, Dean has been maintaining his innocence and even received a visit from Keanu's mother, Karen, who had doubts about his involvement in her son's death. In the upcoming scenes, Linda is once again struggling to keep the truth hidden as Dean's plea hearing approaches. Sharon tries to offer her reassurance, but it's clear that Linda is not coping well.

Meanwhile, Keanu's sister, Bernie, is disappointed when Jack Branning tells her that he won't be able to attend the trial. However, her focus soon shifts to Linda's odd behavior as she tries to avoid Bernie's questioning. Over at No. 43, Sharon and Linda have a heart-to-heart about Dean's past actions and the upcoming trial. But it seems like even the support of her best friend is not enough to ease Linda's troubled mind.

Amidst all the chaos, Linda's mother, Elaine, gives her a pep talk and later, an empty vodka bottle is found in Linda's possession. Has Linda fallen off the wagon again? And will Dean be found guilty of a crime he didn't commit?
