EastEnders tease courtroom drama in new trailer
EastEnders fans are speculating that a beloved character could be heading for jail in a shocking murder plot twist. Following the announcement that a former villain is set to return, one viewer pondered if this could be the catalyst for their comeback.
A recent trailer for upcoming episodes of the BBC soap hinted at Dean Wicks (played by Matt Di Angelo) standing trial during Keanu Taylor's (Danny Walters) murder case.
Eight months after Keanu's death, The Six find themselves back in the spotlight as their secrets risk being exposed. Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) murdered Keanu on Christmas Day to safeguard Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) and the women concealed the crime by burying Keanu's body.
Even after the body was discovered, the women, with the assistance of a few locals who knew the truth, continued to hide their criminal actions.
Dean was subsequently framed for the murder, causing problems for several residents, and has been incarcerated ever since.

In the trailer, Dean can be heard proclaiming his innocence while the guilty women attend court to learn his fate.
As they grapple with their guilt potentially being revealed, it becomes apparent that everything hinges on whether or not Dean will be imprisoned following his departure from the show, reports the Mirror.
However, a new theory suggests that he might be released, and another character could end up behind bars. Viewers speculate that neither Dean nor murderer Linda will be the ones sent to prison, but rather one of The Six may confess.
EastEnders enthusiasts are abuzz with speculation that Sharon Watts could face imprisonment for Keanu's murder, setting the stage for a dramatic encounter with Chrissie Watts (Tracy-Ann Oberman).
The fan theory suggests Sharon might take the fall to protect Linda, leading to a potential reunion with Chrissie behind bars.
One viewer speculated on social media: "What if the twist is Sharon says SHE killed Keanu to save Linda and gets locked up, which causes Kathy to have a breakdown... because she feels like she's broken her promise to Angie?"
Echoing the sentiment, another added: "Omg, what if Sharon goes to jail and Chrissie is there."
Sharing their excitement over the trailer, one fan commented: "I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS."
Someone else tweeted: "Omg I am so excited this is going to be incredible i just know it roll on the drama!!!!!!"
"Finally a reason actually worth watching! The Six are back as the main focus," said another viewer.
