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.

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...
Neither am I -it would be the best solution
and as Tammy says leaves Mick shown as
the better man and his life not adversely
affected as it would have been if he had
killed Dean and been caught.
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.
Matt Di Angelo - aka EastEnders baddie Dean Wicks - has revealed that he needs a break from the soap because it is so emotionally exhausting for him.
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?
