EastEnders spoilers: Dean Wicks’ days numbered as ill daughter Jade Masood catches him toying with her meds

Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo) has been taking horrifying action against ill daughter Jade Masood (Elizabeth Green) in recent EastEnders scenes, by emptying her antibiotics.

Jade recently informed Dean that she planned to move with mum Shabnam to Pakistan, leaving him hurt.

After a trip to the doctors confirmed that she was suffering from a chest infection, Jade decided to stay with Dean until she had recovered, which prompted him to do the unthinkable: Empty her antibiotics to ensure she doesn’t get better.

In more recent scenes, Jade walked in on Dean toying with her medication and questioned what he was doing, given that it was too early for her to take them.

Covering, Dean explained that he was just getting them set up, because he knew she hadn’t been feeling well and wanted to stay on top of things.

He then proceeded to say that he hoped the doctors in Pakistan would stay on top of her illness, before insisting that she shouldn’t be worried.

He continued to gaslight her as he revealed that he hated seeing her unwell, despite the fact that it was his fault she wasn’t getting any better.

He went on to tell her how much everyone would miss her when she goes, clearly in an attempt to guilt trip her into staying, adding in the Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) had been working hard to help with her charity auction.

When Dean tells Jade that he loves her and would do anything for her, she insists that she knows, but could that be set to change?

In upcoming scenes Jade has a bad coughing fit and Jean calls the doctor, much to Dean’s horror.

With the doctor on the way and Jade having already seen her dad fiddling with her antibiotics, could she be set to work out what’s really been going on?

Are Dean’s days numbered?
