That would be preferable, but I highly doubt it. Eastenders never has a xmas without some big tragedy happening.

I dont think it likely either ss1-but it shows
how flawed the judgement of those who
make these decisions is!

A tragedy or event portrayed for dramatic effect
(.and ratings) is different to this potential
scenario.

I think its the fact it involves
a child that causes the most concern .
Raising awareness of a serious illness
and portraying it as a form of punishment
are two very different things .
The latter is inexcusable and cruel.

I still have (a very faint) hope that there will
be a rethink.!!

While I'm not against some form of karma for Dean (since it seems unlikely we're going to get any other kind of justice), it needs to be directly related to the rape to be a fitting punishment. Like MM says, if he were found out in some way and ostracised from his family and the community (and from Jade's life), I'd accept that because it would be directly down to what he did to Linda. Also, I know I keep saying it, but the community need to be left in no doubt that he's guilty for Linda's sake.

I've seen speculation elsewhere that Ronnie's cameras might come into play in some way since he's seeing Roxy and spending time at her house. The cameras are still there as far as we know so there's a possibility he could be caught on camera either saying or doing something to implicate himself.

I think this could possibly make me start liking Ronnie again...

I wouldn't put it past her.

I've never stopped liking her but she'd definitely go up even higher in my estimation.

The problem with all these "solutions" to the Dean problem such as Jade dying, Ronnie killing him etc. etc., is that his rape is still not exposed and leaves a doubt that Linda is telling the truth. Any solution MUST include a confession from Dean in one form or another.

I'm hoping Ronnie records him implicating himself on camera and exposes the truth to the community. If she kills him it'll be an added bonus!

Actually I think it would be better if he was exposed as the rapist he is and then had to live with the fact that everyone knows. I'd personally prefer that as a punishment than having him killed off.
