EastEnders reintroduces Dean Wicks and Shabnam Masood's daughter Jade later this month.

Elizabeth Green has been cast in the role of Jade, who was portrayed by Amaya Edward in her previous appearances on the show in 2015 and 2016.

In scenes airing later this month, Jade returns to Albert Square and befriends Gina Knight at the Queen Vic.

When Dean arrives, Jade decides to visit the grave of Shabnam's son Zaair. She then reflects on her own prognosis, following the recent revelation on screen that she's unwell and needs a life-saving lung transplant.

Jade initially rejects Dean's attempts to comfort her, but when she chats to Gina on the topic of absent parents, she decides that it's time to give her father a chance.

Later in the week, Dean continues to cruelly torment Linda Carter by sending her a photo which shows him posing with her young son Ollie. He crosses paths with the schoolboy when Ollie visits a newly-launched Christmas grotto at Beale's Eels.

Linda is appalled to see the picture and heads over to the grotto to confront Dean.

Having been pushed to breaking point by Dean's vile behaviour, Linda speaks her mind and is backed up by Keanu Taylor, who tells Jade that her father is a dangerous sexual predator.

Jade is disgusted by the revelation and chooses to leave the Square again, seemingly wanting nothing to do with Dean.

Later, Dean returns to The Vic and interrupts a community choir event as he confronts Linda. What does he have planned?

EastEnders airs these scenes in the week commencing Monday, December 11.
