EastEnders: Danny Dyer ‘fitted with a wetsuit’ for plot to finish off rapist Dean in the New Year

After what Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo) did to Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons) in last Friday’s episode, we were starting to think that Ronnie Mitchell (Samantha Womack) would kill again to save her sister…

Burning with anger and jealousy because he thought Roxy wanted Charlie Cotton (Declan Bennett), Dean purposely burned Roxy’s neck with curling tongs while he was styling her hair.

Dean said it was an accident - but then he said he didn’t rape Linda Carter (Kellie Bright), too…

He’s definitely going to his dark side again and Roxy is definitely in danger.

But, at a recent TV festival, EastEnders’ boss Dominic Treadwell-Collins and Danny Dyer hinted heavily that justice will be served by Mick Carter (Danny’s character), not the Mitchells…

Danny said that he hates the character of Dean “with a passion” and revealed the story is going to come to a conclusion. “The geezer’s going to get it,” Danny said. “Don’t worry. He’s going to get it.

Dominic added: “There are a lot of big resolutions coming in the New Year. Danny has been fitted for a wetsuit and he’s going into water.”

Will Mick and Dean have some kind of furious water fight, where it becomes a desperate “sink or swim” battle for survival?

The thing is, Mick’s not much of a swimmer, having had to overcome a fear of water after his mum tried to drown him in the bath when he was a baby.

So we hope he has more than a wetsuit to help him defeat Dean…

EastEnders continues on BBC1, Monday, September 28, 8.00pm.
