Dean Wicks

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.

When he reappeared in EE, it was to be with Stan, but I don't think the fact he'd been in Australia was actually referred to.

Absolutely. Exploring the relationship with Mick, Shirley and the rest would have been a much better use of Dean and Matt's talents.

There was quite a complex set of relationships with people to explore for a long time, but the rape storyline made it all irrelevant. Shocking storylines are not good for developing characters.

Got to say Matt's acting cant be faulted in this storyline brilliantly played

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.
