I would think, whatever happens, the whole point of the stunt will be around the fact that Mick hates the water and can't swim very well.Quote:

Our exclusive first-look photos give fans a peek at the scenes that will rock Albert Square.
Evil Dean, played by Matt Di Angelo, appears to drown in a lake in a dramatic episode on New Year’s Day.
In a surprise twist his brother Mick Carter will attempt to save him after dragging his body out of the water.
The Queen Vic landlord, played by Danny Dyer, steps in despite knowing Dean raped his other half Linda.
As our snaps show, dad Buster Briggs then tries and apparently fails to revive Dean.
The cast shot the scenes on location in St Albans.
An onlooker said: “It was gripping stuff. Viewers are in for a real treat.”
It emerged last week Dean will attempt to rape Roxy Mitchell in the run-up to Christmas.
He will end up in the lake on the day of Mick and Linda’s wedding, which will be screened on January 1.
Kellie Bright, who plays Linda, took time out from Strictly to shoot the scenes.
Shirley and Tina Carter were also involved in filming the scenes.
Why give so much of the plot away? Presumably this was sanctioned by the EE team. http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smile...sed-630530.gif
I can't say I'm sorry to see an apparently lifeless Dean though...
I like the idea of Mick being the better man saving Dean who then faces prison and outcast by everyoneQuote:

Why show so much-??
1) Dean.isnt lifeless .No one there is
medically trained.?? He is revived and
the story continues-hopefully to a legal
conclusion- but we have had a twist and
been shocked.
2) He is dead. They are worried that the
story has gone for so long with so
many "false" promises about justice - that
a sizeable% of audience are disinterested/
disbelieving that they may not watch-unless
shown that there will be a conclusion.
Sorry to sound cynical( have thought of
worse twists there could be!!) but
just hope it is as it seems-tho any surprise
gone!!
I hate her predictable the show has become with no shocks or surprises
That report from the dailystar doesn't actually say for certain that Dean dies. It uses words like, "Evil Dean, played by Matt Di Angelo, appears to drown in a lake" and "Buster Briggs then tries and apparently fails to revive Dean". With these words, they could be true, but there's still a chance that Dean may not die after all. Either way, his time on EE is up, because even if he lives he'll spend the next several years in prison.
EE has used this trick before. When Barbara Windsor was leaving EE, the stories leading up to her finale indicated that Peggy Mitchell was gonna die in the big fire at the Vic, but in the end she survived and merely walked out of the show.
I don't think any of us assumed Dean definitely dies. My comment about giving so much of the plot away was referring to giving away what happens during the water stunt (ie that Mick rescues Dean).Quote:

Having had to contend with storylines such as Dean raping his sister-in-law Linda Carter and the death of Dean's grandfather, Di Angelo has said that he often struggles to switch off his emotions after filming.
"When I'm acting I tap into what's happening in my life," he told the Daily Mail's Femail magazine. "For example, when Dean's grandfather Stan died, my own grandad had recently passed away and I went to that place.
"Once I got there I was genuinely sobbing. Then when they say 'Cut' you don't stop crying; you're really bawling and short of breath. I sometimes go to my dressing room and cry."
Di Angelo added that he often becomes physically exhausted from having to portray so many difficult scenes.
"I'm in a bad way afterwards because I'm physically drained from the emotion I have to pour out," he said.
"In the same way toddlers cry themselves to sleep, it's exhausting. I've been crying all day – I'm not going to go home and be happy."
The actor said that while he has relished the challenges that come with playing such a dark character, he would struggle to play the role for too long.
"Actors do whatever we are asked and it's awesome to get these roles," he said. "It was more the extended time I was going to have to play it for that made me nervous."
And although Dean will soon be departing the Square in an exit storyline that's been kept under wraps, the actor has joked that there is every chance he could return again one day.
"It's a soap. Every door and every window is always open!" he said. Sure is in EastEnders :p
I thought Matt was leaving soon?
I thought DEan was amazing in his row with Shirley, he was so real, best bit of acting on EE for agesssssssssss do you hear Vincent?????
Btw, would someone remind me... When Shirley's daughter Carley made a brief reappearance, back when Shirley was struggling with Heather's murder and everything, she said Dean was in Australia working as a barman with a girlfriend. Was that true? Did he ever go to Australia, or did Carley make it all up, or was it never addressed when he came back? Because I'm curious about why he would return to Britain, and whatever happened to that girlfriend of his?
That is what Carley said but I don´t think it has ever been referred to again .. don´t remember an explanation as to why he returned to Walford ...
thought dean was with stan for a good while maybe since leaving square
Eastenders ruined Dean, it would of been good to see his relationship with Mick and the rest of his family. He was originally an irritating idiot, he came back and showed potential to be a bad boy/villain then they turn him into a rapist.

Like Mick said last episode it could of been so different, giving Dean a proper family would of been a much better storyline. They just used him to make the public love Mick and Linda imo.Quote:

http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/east...t-of-dean-yet/
Let's hope the scenes will be of him pleading guilty and being locked up.
That's probably the best end his character could have. If they are planning on ever bringing him back the start of his repentance.Quote:

Emotions will run high on EastEnders next week as the residents wait to hear the outcome of Dean Wicks's trial.
Dean (Matt Di Angelo) is standing trial for attempting to rape Roxy Mitchell at the end of last year, but she will make a shocking discovery in the days leading up to the court case.
With the trial fast approaching, Roxy (Rita Simons) is fuming to discover that Ronnie has written to Dean asking him to plead guilty.
As reality hits home for Roxy, supportive Jack and Ronnie both help her prepare for what's ahead. Despite this, as Roxy prepares to give evidence, she tells her sister that she wants to face it on her own.

Dean's mother Shirley (Linda Henry) will also prepare to give evidence and will turn to Denise Fox and her love rival Kathy Beale for support. However, Shirley admits to Mick later that it didn't go well at the trial and she blames herself for being a bad mother.
After everyone has done their bit in court, the Albert Square residents face an anxious night after learning the verdict will be revealed as soon as the following day.

There's a big fuss in the papers today about Dean Wicks's attempted rape trial taking place off screen in EastEnders - so what's the truth behind the tabloid tales?
Next week's episodes see the Carters and the Mitchells desperately hoping that justice will be served when Dean faces trial for his attack on Roxy, but we don't see the events in the courtroom for ourselves.
Instead, the focus is firmly on those affected by Dean's crimes as we see how the likes of Roxy, Ronnie, Linda and Shirley cope with the events of the emotional week.
That all sounds fair enough to us, but one newspaper report today (August 11) has suggested that the lack of courtroom scenes is actually down to EastEnders budget cuts - with bosses wanting to save on the costs of courtroom scenes and extras.
Hmm, but aren't there just as many extras in a packed-out Queen Vic or market scene? Suspecting there's more to it, we went to our own EastEnders sources for the inside scoop.
A Walford insider told Digital Spy: "The decision not to show Dean's trial on screen has nothing to do with budgets. There's a regular courtroom set at the studios which can be used in episodes at any time.
"Instead the decision was purely a storytelling one, as this is a survivors' story. Rather than telling the story from the perspective of the attacker, the episodes focus on the impact on Linda, Roxy, Ronnie, Shirley and their families.
"Friday's episode is particularly affecting as the women on the Square all wait for the verdict and support each other as they reveal their feelings about what happened.
"Kathy Beale also opens up over her own traumatic past when she tries to support Dean's dad Buster."
An EastEnders spokesperson also told us: "There were never any plans to show Dean's trial on screen. This has nothing to do with budgets but as viewers will see, the focus of the story is about the survivors of rape."

This would explain why we don´t see anyone at the trial!
I thought Angelo would have filmed some scenes for his trial before he left perhaps finally admitting his guilt and saying sorry to both Linda and Roxy
I was hoping we would see it. Feel a bit cheated
innocent so much for dtc fitting ending and justice being served, liar
is he returning with shirley?
I hope not, I didn't like the direction the charter was going.
