EastEnders has dropped another huge hint that legend David Wicks may be set to return, in a recent scene between Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer) and Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins).
The former car lot owner has been mentioned numerous times since the beginning of this year, with his name most recently popping up in conversation when Bianca and Cindy came face to face for the first time since Cindy’s return from the dead.
Cindy and David have a complicated history to say the least, with their relationship having been the catalyst to Cindy’s assassination attempt against Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt).
One of his major storylines during his time on the show saw him learn that Bianca was his daughter, after almost initiating a romance with her.
David was last mentioned on the show several weeks ago, when Martin Fowler (James Bye) detailed the history of his fruit and veg stall to date Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy).
Prior to that, his name was brought up in conversation when Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) paid Bianca a visit in Milton Keynes.
During a conversation about Zack Hudson (James Farrar), Bianca warned Whitney to never trust the smooth ones, before recalling how David had been quite the womanizer.
Fans have been eager to see David return for quite some time, with some even having speculated that he was Cindy’s secret business partner, before it was revealed to be Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo).

David still has plenty of connections on Albert Square, including half-brother Ian and cousin Martin – not to mention former flame Cindy – so there would be plenty of opportunity for drama should he come back.
