no way back for dean

When reading Lizanns post-I was struck
by an horrendous thought!!

Up til now had assumed Mick & Dean
ended in water during eg a fight?
But what if Mick had accident and fell in
and Dean "rescued" him!! Is it possible
the PTB could think that would redeem
him?!!
It wouldnt -for all reasons stated many
times by posters ( mainly connected to
Linda and acknowledgement of her
telling truth).

Also Mick can swim now-per Dazzles post)!!
It goes against what Danny Dyer said in the
interview and tho some actors do use these
occasions to big themselves up-I felt he was
sincere!

I think it only struck me - because storylines
are becoming more unbelievable almost
on a daily basis.** Im sure though they think
viewers will believe nearly any thing-
but wouldnt go that far!!
**in all soaps?

I hope the PTB wouldn't think Dean rescuing Mick would redeem him for the rape, but, as you say, with stories becoming ever more unbelievable it's hard not to question the judgement of some producers (naming no names).

I've given it some thought in the past and, in my opinion, the the only way Dean could be redeemed would be for him to admit his guilt, be sincerely remorseful, serve a decent prison sentence and successfully complete intensive counselling whilst in prison. Perhaps then he could return in a few years' time a changed man. Some such men even go on to being counsellors themselves and help rehabilitate other sex offenders - which I think could be interesting route to take his character.

However, I can't really see anything like this being possible given he apparently feels no guilt over the rape.

Mick and Shirley Carter find themselves in a difficult position on EastEnders later this month after an incident with Carmel Kazemi's cat threatens to expose their secret.

The pair have recently started rebuilding their fractured relationship, but Mick (Danny Dyer) has been keen to stop his struggling partner Linda from finding out.

Upcoming scenes will see Mick make plans to meet a delighted Shirley (Linda Henry) with his baby son Ollie, but he is forced to cancel on her at the last minute.

Frustrated, Shirley tells Mick that she is fed up with having to hide their growing bond. However, when they meet up later in the park, an unexpected situation threatens to expose their secret for them.

When Carmel's cat - named Craig Revel Horwood - gets stuck up a tree, Shirley is forced to climb up to help him as Carmel is afraid of heights.

Following the drama, Mick later has a heart-to-heart with Shirley and explains why he wants to keep things quiet for now, but he eventually promises to tell Linda.

When Mick returns to The Vic, it's not long before Linda's mum Elaine cottons on to what he's been up to after Carmel thanks him for his earlier help.

Livid, Elaine demands an explanation from Mick, but what will he say? And how will Linda react if she finds out as well?

EastEnders airs these scenes on Tuesday, November 10 at 7.30pm on BBC One.

When did Mick invite Buster and Shirley to his wedding, he really should have discussed that with Linda

Danny Dyer was in Plebs last night on ITV. It was quite funny.


I don't know - he's clearly determined to have his mum and dad at his wedding.

Poor Linda can't even count on Mick to be on her side any more. It doesn't make sense after he supported her so staunchly for all those months - especially given she confided in him on Halloween about how strongly the rape still affects her.

I agree. Was it different scriptwriters in
the 2 episodes?
When theres a gap between actions that
should follow on-often dont make sense!?
