Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo) has caused nothing but trouble since returning to EastEnders.The villain has continued to torment Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) along with other Walford residents, and he's now gone to extreme measures to ensure his daughter Jade Masood (Elizabeth Green) doesn't jet to Pakistan with her mum Shabnam.
