The plot is about to thicken folks, so hold on to your horses as actor and soap icon Michael French heads back to Albert Square as David Wicks. The fan favourite is making his iconic return after a decade and will reprise his role for a short stint later this year. Let’s dive straight into the details!
Michael French Is Making A Bombshell RETURN
EastEnders has always had arguably the most talented star cast. With soap gearing up for its 40th anniversary, they are pulling all the racks and bringing the legendary characters back to take drama up a notch. Viewers saw Jane Beale making her iconic comeback this week, and now another Beale relative is all set to return for a short stint.
As per reports, Ian Beale’s half-brother David Wicks will definitely create havoc in Walford. Even though the exact details of his arrival remain hidden, it’s been teased that David will come face-to-face with former flame Cindy for the first time in decades.
Long time viewers know that David and Ian spent years as sworn enemies and fought over Cindy’s love. It will be shocking to see David and Cindy meeting since the last time he was in Square she was still thought to be dead.
Amid a series of major returns on the BBC soap, EastEnders spoilers confirm that the son of Pat Butcher and Pete Beale will create issues for Ian and Cindy soon. While discussing his character’s return, Michael French said, “I feel honoured to be asked to reprise the role of David Wicks once again. It may only be a brief visit, but we know from his past that David never fails to create a lot of drama in a very short time.”
As honoured as French might be, EastEnders boss Chris Clenshaw is also thrilled to welcome him back. He said, “David Wicks is undoubtedly one of EastEnders’ most beloved rogues, and we are thrilled to welcome the talented Michael French back to the legendary role as we lead up to the show’s 40th anniversary. David’s character was never shy of drama during his previous stints, and I can assure you this return will be no different.” David left Walford after his relationship with Carol broke down in 2014. We can be assured to have our heads spinning with chaos after this iconic return.
It seems like Clenshaw has several other bombshell returns planned up his sleeves in advance of next February’s EastEnders 40th anniversary. We will soon see Tracy-Ann Oberman reprising her role as Chrissie Watts on the soap opera. We are going crazy by just thinking about so many familiar faces making their comebacks one after the other.
So many new storylines! So many new revelations! We just have to wait and watch. So, stay glued to Soap Opera Daily for more EastEnders spoilers & updates! Also, tell us in the comments who you would like to see making a comeback on the show!
