EASTENDERS villain Dean Wicks has sunk to a new low attacking his own daughter Jade in tonight’s episode.
The rapist - who is played by actor Matt Di Angelo in the BBC soap - is determined to keep Jade from moving back in with her mum to Pakistan and has taken vile actions to do it.
Viewers know Jade has cystic fibrosis and has recently undergone a lung transplant to save her life.
But with her developing an infection, Dean decided to sabotage her pills so they wouldn’t be effective in the hopes she would remain sick and stay with him.
Despite this Jade has battled on, unaware of her dad’s sick manipulations, and she’s tried to host a charity fundraiser before returning to Pakistan.
Jean Slater helped her and planned to hold the fundraiser in the Vic, with the Carters agreeing as long as Dean was nowhere to be seen.
