EASTENDERS fans have raged over 'sickening' Dean Wicks poisoning scenes which have left them no longer wanting to watch.
The villain - played by Matt Di Angelo - returned to Walford in October last year.
Since then, the BBC soap has shown him terrorise Linda Carter - who he had previously raped - go into business with Cindy and Ian Beale, and welcome his daughter Jade to live with him.
Jade had been in hospital when Dean first arrived back in Albert Square as she was having a lung transplant.
Since leaving hospital, she has been on antibiotics to help her recovery, and recently told her dad she wanted to move to Pakistan with her mum, Shabnam Masood, once she is better.
However Dean has hatched a twisted plan to keep his daughter with him, and has started tampering with her medication.

Despite feeling worse not better, Jade has no idea what her dad is up to, and EastEnders fans have been left feeling sickened by his actions.
Taking to X - formerly Twitter - one wrote: "I don’t even wanna watch anymore episodes of Eastenders because of Dean still being on there. Him trying to make Jade ill so she doesn’t go to Pakistan is horrific."
Another added: "Please #Eastenders writers, I only have 1 heart. Having Dean do that wickedness to his daughter is raising my diastolic."
A third tweeted: "I hope Jean ends up finding out about the sick s*** Dean is doing."

Meanwhile a fourth raged: "I'm sorry, but the #EastEnders story line of Dean not giving his daughter her antibiotics so she doesn't get better, just so she doesn't move to Pakistan, is way too far."
A fellow viewer agreed, writing: "OMG Dean stop being a disgusting human + allow your daughter to self administer her meds so she can visit her mom."
EastEnders airs on BBC One and is available on BBC iPlayer.
