EastEnders fans think they've worked out a death twist involving rapist Dean Wicks on the BBC soap.
The character, played by actor Matt Di Angelo, returned to the show last year after seven years away from Walford. Linda Carter was horrified to see her rapist return and claim he'd done nothing wrong, and he began tormenting her for weeks.
Even though the truth came out about Dean's lies and almost everyone knows what he did to Linda, Dean is still sticking around. He's been told to leave Walford on a number of occasions yet has not left.
Viewers have been questioning Dean's soap future and why he is sticking around, and now some fans have come up with a theory. They think Dean could be killed off in upcoming scenes amid a twist with his daughter Jade.
Jade, who has cystic fibrosis, recently underwent a lung transplant after becoming seriously ill. Recent scenes have shown the teen coughing and seeming poorly in the weeks following her operation, with viewers questioning if she is sick from the transplant.

EastEnders fans think they've worked out a death twist involving rapist Dean Wicks (BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron)Fans are wondering if there is "more" to the storyline, and if Dean's shock death could be on the cards. Taking to social media, one viewer theorised: "I think there’s more to this story line to come."
Another agreed: "I think maybe she will relapse before she goes to Pakistan and Dean will give her a lung and then he dies on the operating table. Just a thought." A third fan posted: "I agree," as a fourth wrote: " hope so i hate dean."

It comes after some fans believed Johnny Carter would frame Dean for the murder of Keanu Taylor, after Johnny learned mum Linda and The Six were to blame. With the murder weapon going missing, some fans questioned if Dean had taken it after he was seen hanging around The Vic just before the death happened.
But some fans think Johnny stole it and will use it to frame Dean for the crime. The soap has yet to confirm who took the weapon and why, with The Six all blaming each other.
