Eagle-eyed EastEnders fan spots HUGE clue that Dean was hiding in the Vic during Christmas Day murder – did you spot it?

EASTENDERS fans believe they have worked out that Dean Wicks was a witness to Keanu’s murder on Christmas day after analysing a shocking clue.

Soap fans believe Dean Wicks was in the Vic the whole time and witnessed the sinister events unfold. 

Dean (Matt Di Angelo) enters the Vic earlier in the episode to drop off a present for Gina Knight (Francesca Henry) but her dad George (Colin Salmon) kicks him out — or so he thinks. 

He actually remains in the pub even after George leaves and is seen lurking around upstairs and watching Linda (Kellie Bright) during a private moment where she thinks about Mick (Danny Dyer). He also witnesses her drinking alcohol.

But Linda senses his presence and runs downstairs where she sees the backdoor is ajar. 

The scene is meant to suggest that Dean exited the pub, but it’s possible he only pretended to leave and he was watching on from the side lines as the shocking events in the Vic unfolded. 

Instead, viewers think Linda actually shut Dean in when she closed the door and that he’s actually the one who tipped off the police. 

Voicing their theory on reddit, one viewer said: “Gina tells Dean that she found the present he left for her until the Christmas tree in the Vic.

“Dean didn’t leave the present under the tree. He left it on the table, and Linda also left it on the table and then went downstairs. We never saw it being put under the tree.

“Isn’t that a massive clue that Dean was who placed the present under the tree, and that he didn’t leave the pub? Meaning he knows about Keanu’s murder?”

Impressed with that theory, another soap fan added: “Also, in one of the official The Six posters, there is the silhouette of a man upstairs in the Vic window.

“Surely that is also a massive hint that there is a man upstairs during the murder?”

Another joked: “Guess he snuck into that suit of armour.”

EastEnders airs weeknights at 7:30pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
