EastEnders viewers will be left shocked next week when evil Dean Wicks makes a sinister plan to stop one resident leaving Albert Square.

Soap fans will recall that Dean recently reconnected with daughter, Jade, who has undergone a life-saving lung transplant surgery amid her cystic fibrosis battle. In upcoming scenes, Jade seizes the opportunity to get some much needed freedom and decides to play matchmaker between her dad and Fern.

However, things take a disastrous turn when Amy Mitchell spots the duo and is disgusted to see Dean on a first date with Fern, where she wastes no time in exposing the rapist's dark past. Things go from bad to worse for Dean when later in the week Jade drops a huge bombshell.

Jade struggles with guilt as she tries to muster up the courage to tell her father that she is moving to Pakistan with her mother Shabnam. Jade ends up finding solace in Jean Slater, where the two have a heart-to-heart about the youngster's predicament.

Together, Jade and Jean head to Beales Eels, where Jade breaks the news to her deflated dad that she is moving to Pakistan with Shabnam. As expected, Dean reacts badly to the news and things take a worrying turn later in the week when he comes up with a sick plan.

Viewers will recall that Dean returned to Albert Square late in 2023 after seven years. Dean's decision to return was driven by his need to be close to the local hospital where his daughter Jade was waiting for a life-saving lung transplant at the time.

Dean, who raped Linda Carter in 2014, was driven out of Walford after being disowned by his family in 2016 and he has made Linda's life hell since returning.
