Dean Wicks

Didn't feel dramatic enough and you know how EE goes for dramaticness it a stand off like that.

Very very true

so did mick move the body of dean

Yes.

Well that's what we're being led to believe anyway. He could rise from the dead one day as Kathy's done. Never say never.

Mick's mood was certainly very serious so I'd say he thinks he's killed him at the very least.

Edit: I don't know what to think about Dean's "death" now after a couple hours' thinking time. We weren't shown any proof he's dead and Mick's dark mood could be down to any number of things.

is he dead?

I'm not convinced he is.

EastEnders star Matt Di Angelo has kept tight-lipped over whether fans will see his character Dean Wicks again.

Thursday night's hour-long 30th anniversary special saw a lifeless Dean left alone in the Queen Vic's barrel store after he was knocked unconscious by his brother Mick (Danny Dyer) in another violent row.

While it seemed that Dean may have been killed off, there was no sign of him in the barrel store by the end of Friday's 30-minute full live episode - leaving viewers to wonder whether he regained consciousness or whether Mick disposed of his body.

Speaking about pretending to be 'unconscious' for the scenes, Di Angelo told EastEnders: Backstage Live: "It took a lot of rehearsal! I held my breath for quite a while!"

However, asked to confirm whether Dean is really dead, he told show host Joe Swash: "I can't say. You never know. I can't say anything!"

Upcoming EastEnders episodes will see Mick's daughter Nancy (Maddy Hill) in turmoil as she believes that her father is now a killer. She ultimately shares her fears with her mum Linda (Kellie Bright), who was raped by Dean last year.

However, further footage shown on EastEnders: Backstage Live revealed that the Carters are soon rocked further when they hear that a body matching Dean's description has been found in a burnt-out car - which will no doubt fuel Nancy's suspicions that he is gone for good.



I don't think he is dead, the body won't be Dean's

Its seems to go against spoliers /interviews if
Deano is dead-not that I will mind if he is!

Odd bits I remember-
Both Actors playing Shabnam & Deano
said they had discussed acting their roles
together-in some detail in separate
interviews.

Thought Matt had had new contract recently
and he quoted a discussion he had had
with director - which hinted that tho no
legal solution the character would be around
for quite a while-still causing probs.

I know none of above absolutely definite
and expect a bit of "misdirection/red herrings"
etc. Especially with Lucy story/anniversary!
But I did expect more before the end of story!!

Silly idea prob-perhaps Dean will go into
hiding abd blackmail Mick or cause trouble
from afar!!
