...not sure how that punishes
Dean.
What do.u think would be fitting punishment.
Theyve said it wont be thru legal channels?

Agree about Dean , love to see Linda laying into him for a bit of payback, show him a little peace and goodwill with a good slapping

I'm disappointed that Dean won't go to prison for the rape, but I suppose it is more realistic that way. I don't condone violence one bit but I'd make an exception for Dean. He needs a lot more than a good slapping, Glen!! I'd say Mick'll batter him to within an inch of his life!

Have a emergency box should the grand kids have forgotten to tell Santa to pop them in his sack for grandpa

Love it!

I much rather see Jane with Masood than Ian again ...

Danny Dyer has praised EastEnders' writers for the episodes in which Mick Carter finally learns of his partner Linda's rape ordeal

Dyer's character Mick will feature in his most explosive scenes yet this Christmas, as the truth comes out about Dean Wicks's attack on Linda.

Discussing the harrowing scenes, Dyer believes that Mick's reaction to the discovery is very realistic.

He told All About Soap: "I was excited about these episodes because I knew this was when Mick would find out about Dean raping Linda, but I didn't know how it would happen.

"A lot of Christmas is about Mick, how he discovers the truth and how he deals with it. It's a lot to take on board, but the way he reacts is so well-written and believable. Any human would react in the same way."

Dyer believes that viewers will be very satisfied with the Christmas Day episode, and heaped praise onto Matt Di Angelo and Kellie Bright for their challenging scenes.

He said: "[Viewers] are dying for it to come out because what Dean did to Linda was horrific and he can't get away with it - he deserves to be arrested.

"How dare he walk around and go into the pub knowing what he has done to that poor woman. I think Matt has been playing it right, and it's been a tough job to stretch out for three months.

"Kellie has really shone too and shown what she can do. They are both amazing."

Dean does need to be arrested and eventually convicted imo. He'll get enough good hidings in prison. Although I would love to see Mick paste him, he too could be in serious trouble facing a prison term. Maybe Dean will kick off at Mick then Mick can retaliate and claim self defence. Unfortunately Dean is too much of a coward.

Agreed! I was mad as hell when I read that Dean won't be going to prison for the rape.

This is a very sensitive subject for lots of people. I know rape convictions are incredibly low but it's still heartening for victims and their families to see TV rapists banged up, even if it's not that true to life.

I will enjoy it if Mick wreaks a suitable revenge, but it won't be as satisfying as seeing him convicted for his crime.

Totally agree ,missed opportunity for EE on that one....

EE doesnt do prison. We ave had Beetroot man fretten half the met and get arrested in possesion of a firearm, Gwant has been On The Run for years. Dirty Den was murdered and rose again to boost viewing figures before he had a nasty accident with a webcam. Some of their 'stars' in real life are also above the law so it would seem
