Did You See That

Deano Wickes got out of prison last night on Eastenders, and he seemed to have a right cob on. Ok, so he’s been in prison, he’s had “everything” done to him in there, his Dad has died and his sister has gone off travelling around the world, so he’s entitled to be a bit moody but this was a completely different Deano. It wasn’t that long ago he was out for Kevin’s funeral and he didn’t seem quite as messed up as last night, so he either had a very bad last month inside, or Eastenders writers were indulging in their favourite trick of completely changing a character’s personality - remember when Minty was an evil landlord offering to take sex as payment from Janine?

So as I was saying, Deano wasn’t best pleased. He went rount to Shirley’s and had her pay for a prostitute, sorry, “escort”. Then he went over to the Vic and headbutted Sean Slater (hang on, wasn’t Sean the victim of Deano’s crime - how’s that for victim support?) and then gave Shirley a bit of a roughing up before making his way into the night and out of the Square for good.

I’d have to say, observations about his personality transplant aside, Matt Di Angelo did a good job acting the part (finally) and was more believable as a hard-nut than Sean who just seems a bit gormless these days.  No wonder Sean is leaving too - they’ll have him clowning around with Minty and Garry if he stays too much longer.
