Dean Wicks will cause further problems for the Carter family on EastEnders when he defiantly turns up at the Queen Vic once again.
After Linda (Kellie Bright) reports her rape ordeal to the police, the whole Carter family attempt business as usual at The Vic by hosting a karaoke night, despite their worries that justice won't be served.
Dean (Matt Di Angelo) also attempts to ignore the gossip about him and Linda by returning to Blades, but the reality hits home when Stacey Branning refuses to let him anywhere near her daughter Lily.
As a result, Dean's defiance re-emerges and he decides to join Shirley, Patrick, Kim and Denise for the festivities at the pub.
An angry Mick (Danny Dyer) immediately tells Dean to leave, but Dean insists on staying despite Shirley's pleas for him to go outside. How will Mick react? And why is Shirley so desperate to get him out of the pub?
