Actor Matt Di Angelo last appeared as Dean Wicks in 2016. <\/p>
Could Dean Wicks be about to make a shocking comeback to EastEnders<\/a>?<\/p>\n The BBC One soap is amid the epic build-up to its killer Christmas storyline after a flash-forward in February<\/a> confirmed that one man would be lying dead on the floor of the Queen Vic pub surrounded by six leading ladies of the show: Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean), Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth), Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner), Denise Fox (Diane Parish), Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), and Suki Panesar (Balvinder Sopal).<\/p>\n Now it seems that one of the potential suspects to meet his maker is on his way back to Walford in the form of villain Dean Wicks<\/a> (Matt Di Angelo).<\/p>\n A set photo posted by a cast member in a video montage on TikTok has been circulating on social media since Saturday 21st October 2023 and shows the bar of the Queen Vic pub and is mostly centred on the image of the late character Lola Pearce-Brown (Danielle Harold), who passed away in June this year<\/a>.<\/p> Christmas decorations matching those seen in the flash-forward can also be seen and fans have been aware that the soap has been filming what appears to be<\/a> the upcoming Christmas wedding<\/a> between Sharon and her on-off partner Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters).<\/p>\n However, in the background of the image, leaning against the bar appears to be actor Matt Di Angelo back in his role as Dean Wicks.<\/p>\n The BBC declined to comment on the photo when approached by RadioTimes.com<\/a> but that has not stopped those in the EastEnders fanbase from commenting on the development.<\/p>\n Gotta be Dean.
