Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo) was caught out by daughter Jade Masood (Elizabeth Green) in tonight\u2019s EastEnders<\/a> (18th March 2024), as she discovered he had been ignoring calls from her mother, Shabnam Masood (Rakhee Thakrar).<\/p>\n

For the past few weeks, Dean has been administering Jade\u2019s antibiotics after she fell ill with a chest infection, but little does she know he\u2019s been emptying the tablets before he gives them to her<\/a> in order to keep her in Walford!<\/p>\n

Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) has been keeping an eye on Jade, concerned out of loyalty to her dear friend, Jade\u2019s grandmother Shirley Carter (Linda Henry). With Jade too ill to work on her charity fundraiser for cystic fibrosis, Jean offered to help.<\/p>\n

Jean had run out of potential venues to approach, and she asked Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) if they could use The Vic. Co-owner Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) agreed, on the condition that her rapist Dean was barred from attending.<\/p>

Meanwhile, at Dean\u2019s flat, Jade was still coughing in bed, wondering why she was still so unwell despite taking the antibiotics. Jean then arrived to announce Linda\u2019s kind gesture, but Dean ran out, leaving Jean alone with Jade.<\/p>\n

Worrying over Jade\u2019s deteriorating condition, Jean told partner Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman) that she had called a doctor, who was heading over to do a home visit.<\/p>\n

When Dean returned, explaining that he had wanted to speak to Linda, but had talked himself out it, he was horrified to find out that the doctor was on his way.<\/span><\/p>\n

The doctor expressed surprise that Jade hadn\u2019t improved on the medication, and when he was out of the room, Jade pleaded with Dean not to allow her to be sent back to hospital. Dean urged her to pretend she was feeling better, and Jade looked uneasy, but ultimately agreed.<\/p>\n

Dean attempted to get rid of Jean, but Jade then interrupted, presenting Dean\u2019s phone and confronting him for ignoring Shabnam\u2019s calls! How will Dean wriggle out of this?<\/p>\n
