EastEnders has dropped another huge hint at that legend David Wicks may returnin a recent scene between Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer) And Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins).

The former car lot owner has been mentioned numerous times since the beginning of this year, with his name last popping up in conversation when Bianca and Cindy came face to face for the first time since then. Cindy's return from the dead.

Cindy and David have a complicated history to say the least, with their relationship being the catalyst for Cindy's assassination attempt Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt).

One of his major storylines during his time on the show saw him learn that Bianca was his daughter, after almost starting a romance with her.

Featuring iconic characters such as Cindy, Bianca, Dean, Yolande Trueman (Angela Wynter), Lisa Fowler (Lucy Benjamin), Ryan Malloy (Neil McDermott), Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons), Graham Foster (Alex McSweeney) and Duncan Boyd (David Gillespie ) who have all returned to the soap in the past year alone, a return for the eldest Wicks brother is unlikely.

David still has plenty of Albert Square connections, including half-brother Ian and cousin Martin – not to mention former flame Cindy – so there would be plenty of opportunity for drama if he returns.
