EastEnders spoilers: Jean Slater’s sinister discovery about Dean Wicks leads him to turn nasty on her

Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) makes a sinister discovery in upcoming EastEnders scenes which leads Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo) to turn seriously nasty.

She is left shocked when Jade Masood (Elizabeth Green) returns to Albert Square from hospital sooner than she’d expected, but soon finds herself looking after the ailing teen when Dean agrees to an interview with a reporter from the Walford Gazette.

However, Johnny Carter (Charlie Suff) soon interrupts the interview offering to give a character reference on Dean which, given their history, isn’t likely to be a glowing review.

Meanwhile, Jean questions Jade, and after learning that Dean has been administering her medication, decides to take a closer look.

Viewers will know that Jade was prescribed antibiotics for her chest infection, and had planned to move to Pakistan with her mum as soon as she was well enough.

However, Dean didn’t want Jade to leave him, so decided to take matters into his own hands to keep her close.

He began to tamper with her medication, emptying out the pill cases without Jade noticing.

When Jean called a doctor, he persuaded Jade to lie to him in order to stop her from going to hospital, meaning that his tampering has so far gone unnoticed.

However, in upcoming scenes, Jean realises that Jade’s pill cases are empty and reasons that she must do something.

When Dean returns home, he finds Jean attempting to take Jade to back the Slaters’ house, but he soon thinks on his feet and blames her for everything.

Will Jean be able to expose Dean for what he’s done?
