All the latest updates and news down Walford way!
EDITORIAL, Sunday 29th September 2024
He’s back, and it’s about time!
For the first time since he walked out on Carol in 2014, David Wicks is back next week (w/c 7th October, note-takers!) in time to help daughter Bianca out a scrap or two! Can he get to the bottom of her erratic behaviour and help get Sonia out of nick? Or should the question be just how long David will stick around for? He does have a habit of disappearing and this is only a brief return…
There’s also the question of how old flame Cindy Beale will react to his presence? They haven’t seen each other since he left her to board the EuroStar to France, all those years ago in 1996 when she snatched Peter and Steven! Long time fans may also recall that due to some loose maths done in the 1980s David is also Ian’s half brother!
For more on David you can read his bio right here on A Walk Through Walford, where out Past Residents page is growing every day with more biographies than the Vic has served one of Aunt Babe’s trifles!
