Eastenders Spoilers 23 June - 26 June

[Perdita]

Dean Wicks will come face-to-face with his daughter Jade on EastEnders next week after he has a change of heart about wanting to meet her.

After a DNA test reveals that Dean (Matt Di Angelo) is Jade's biological father, he realises that his daughter would be better off without him in her life.

However, Shirley (Linda Henry) is determined to gain custody of her grandchild despite some failed attempts, and a supportive Buster arranges for them to meet Jade's foster father, Jonathan.

When they meet with Jonathan, Shirley and Buster reveal that they want to get custody of Jade together and arrange to meet her later in the week.

Once she arrives back home, Shirley feels overwhelmed with guilt for going behind Dean's back, but is persuaded by Buster not to tell him the truth.

However, as her guilt rises, Shirley decides to come clean to Dean about Jade's visit, but a furious Dean tries to persuade them to cancel it.

Later, Shirley and Dean have a heart-to-heart and she tries to persuade him to step up and be a father figure to Jade.

Shirley's words appear to have had the desired effect when Dean arrives home and tells Shirley and a worried Buster that he has changed his mind and he now wants to meet his daughter.

A nervous Dean later meets his daughter for the first time, but will all go to plan?

Father's Day has arrived on Albert Square and Buster considers telling Dean the results of the DNA test. They discuss being a father and once Buster is satisfied that Dean has good intentions, he shares the news that the test has confirmed him as Jade's dad.

Later, Mick and Linda's homecoming is spoiled when Dean turns up. After Mick gives Dean his marching orders, Buster confronts his son about his temper and warns that social services will bring up his past if he tries to get custody of Jade.

Kush's 30th birthday has arrived, but he remains adamant that he can't celebrate due to Ramadan. Despite this, his friends ignore his wishes by dragging him over to The Vic. Shabnam is disappointed when Tamwar tells her what Kush is up to, but she is relieved when he stays loyal by returning home. In the end, Shabnam gives Kush her blessing to celebrate with his friends after all - but things become awkward when he ends up handcuffed to the Square's railings in his underwear.

At the same time, Martin questions Stacey's frosty behaviour towards him. Rather than open up over her illness, Stacey breaks things off between them. She then rescues Kush from his predicament, but as the sexual tension between them becomes apparent again, they are spotted by Nancy. Stacey tries to speak to Nancy but is left worried when Nancy threatens to tell Shabnam if she doesn't do it herself.
