Fans of EastEnders were rocked this week with the departure of evil Dean Wicks, played by the talented Matt Di Angelo. But as we say goodbye to one of the soap's most notorious characters, the question on everyone's mind is: will we see him again?
According to EastEnders boss Chris Clensaw, there's a possibility that this might not be the last we see of Dean. Despite his final scenes airing this week, the character has been at the center of the drama since returning to the BBC soap last year. It all started when The Six framed him for the murder of Keanu Taylor, seeking revenge for his past crime of raping Linda Carter during his previous stint on the show a decade ago.
But this week, Dean's murder trial took a dramatic turn when he finally confessed to raping Linda. This revelation threw her testimony into doubt, as she had previously claimed to have seen him dragging Keanu's body into the café on Christmas night. As a result, the trial fell apart and a mistrial was declared, leaving Dean's fate uncertain.
However, a post on EastEnders' official Instagram account confirmed that we have indeed seen the last of Matt Di Angelo's portrayal of Dean Wicks. The post read, "Farewell to the marvellous Matt Di Angelo AKA devious Dean Wicks. From all the cast and crew at EastEnders... thank you, you'll be missed!" The post was accompanied by a video of Matt's last day of filming, where the cast and crew bid him a fond farewell.
Executive producer Chris Clenshaw also gave a heartfelt speech, thanking Matt for his portrayal of one of the most vile and hated characters on British TV. But his words also sparked speculation about Dean's future, as he hinted that this might not be the last we see of the character or the actor.
Could this mean that Dean will make a comeback for a retrial? Or will the events of Thursday's episode eventually lead to his acquittal for Keanu's murder? The latest installment saw Linda admitting to killing Keanu to his horrified sister Bernie Taylor. However, when Bernie learned the truth about the other women's involvement in covering up the murder, her next move became uncertain. In a later phone call with her mother Karen Taylor, she was unable to reveal the truth about what she had discovered.
As the story unfolds, fans can catch EastEnders on BBC One from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm, or on iPlayer from 6am.
