BBC EastEnders Dean Wicks star teases more than one Christmas death in shock twist
Dean Wicks star Matt di Angelo has teased that there could be more than one death this Christmas in a shocking twist - as he confirmed the plans for more cufflinks on the Square
Matt di Angelo has teased there could be more than one Christmas death – as multiple cufflinks arrive in EastEnders.
Dean Wicks star Matt made a shock return to Walford this October, giving Linda Carter the surprise of her life. She has struggled since his return, but her family and friends have rallied around her, supporting her.
He has become one of the possibilities for the dead body this Christmas, given that he has angered Linda and the others with his return, but other theories include Keanu Taylor, Rocky Cotton and Nish Panesar.
Speaking about the last couple of months, Matt revealed: “Dean is very much back in the Square now trying to make his business work and take care of his sick daughter. He’s trying his hardest to integrate into the community and make his business work.

“Dean very much thinks he’s innocent – he truly believes that so he is surprised that people who did believe him before, now don’t. So he’s having to deal with that, and he is finding that the people of Walford are standing behind Linda so he wants to change their mind. He doesn’t have a choice, he needs his life in Walford to work.”
He is really looking forward to Christmas Day on EastEnders, describing it as an “institution”.
“As a child, EastEnders was part of Christmas Day. It was part of the festivities just as much as the Queen’s speech. The day was as much about turkey as it was the EastEnders Christmas episode and EastEnders itself isn’t just a TV show, it’s an institution I’m always very proud to be a part of that,” he shared of the soap’s synonymy with Christmas.
However, this Christmas won’t be a happy one for one resident of Walford – or maybe for even more.
Speaking about the big Christmas storyline, Matt teased: “If anyone deserves to wear the cufflinks, its Dean, but I think the more people that have those cufflinks in the lead up to Christmas, the better…”
Chris Clenshaw – the soap’s executive producer – previously teased there could be more pairs of cufflinks.
Speaking to Inside Soap magazine, soap boss Chris Clenshaw teased: “You’re going to be guessing right up until the very last moment. As we build through the autumn, stories come into play for each of The Six, building toward a big crescendo. And, while Phil currently has the cufflinks, keep your eyes peeled as they may not be the only pair come Christmas…”
