David Wicks first appeared on EastEnders to reunite with his estranged mum, Pat Butcher, and attend the funeral of his dad, Pete Beale.

Later, their romance was thrown under the bus when Carol Jackson spilled that Bianca was his daughter. The drama didn’t stop there!
The iconic EastEnders character got into an affair with Cindy Beale. Moreover, the woman was so in love with David that she hired a hitman to murder her husband, Ian Beale, so they could be together. Surprisingly, Ian dodged the bullet, and David had to flee the town, feeling alienated from his loved ones. Fast forward to sixteen years, David returned to be by his dying mother’s side. However, his relationship with his ex-Carol grew more troublesome for him to handle.
Subsequently, he left for America, leaving Carol devastated. Ever since his departure, the character has been mentioned multiple times. Is the show hinting at his mega return?
