EastEnders viewers think they know what will bring David Wicks back to Walford later this year. Michael French is reprising his role on the BBC soap, while details around his return have yet to be confirmed. What is known is that it will air later this year, and form part of the lead up to the show's 40th anniversary celebrations.
Now, fans think they have worked out what might be behind the return, and it's linked to a storyline that aired on the show earlier this year. A recent return saw residents concerned for a character before she made another sudden exit. David's onscreen daughter Bianca Jackson made her own comeback earlier this year, heading to Walford as part of daughter Whitney Dean's departure from the show.
