EastEnders reveals first-look images as David Wicks returns for reunion with daughter Bianca

Oh, what a delightful surprise! The return of David Wicks to Albert Square has me all nostalgic, reminiscing about the good old days when soap operas were still bearable without DVRs. As a longtime fan who’s seen Bianca go through more heartaches than the Titanic survivors, I’m eagerly waiting to see how this unexpected encounter unfolds.


Ahead on EastEnders, there’s about to be quite a stir as the BBC soap is set to introduce another captivating familiar face to Albert Square.

This time around, Michael French as David Wicks makes a reappearance, last spotted in 2014.

It couldn’t come at a better time for his daughter in Walford, Bianca (Patsy Palmer), who has been struggling with her health – but also with Sonia (Natalie Cassidy) currently in prison for a crime she didn’t commit.

Is she eager to find an audience for her beliefs that Jonny Freeman is behind the crime – could it be her father who lends his ear?

In some first-look pictures from the moment of their reunion, it’s not quite a normal meeting.

In the midst of the Save Our Sonia movement, Bianca unfortunately stumbles and lands in a heap of garbage sacks.

Emerging from the trash bags with her head held high, she’s taken aback and bewildered when she encounters her long-lost father staring back at her instead.

David swiftly understands that his daughter requires him now more than before – yet, what brings him back under these circumstances?

EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday at 7:30pm on BBC One and from 6am on BBC iPlayer.
