EastEnders announces David Wicks return as Michael French reprises role for short stint


EastEnders has just announced the return of iconic character David Wicks for a short stint ahead of the soap's 40th anniversary.

Albeit for a short stint, Michael French is set to reprise his role of legendary character David Wicks. The son of Pat Butcher and Pete Beale will still be a ‘smooth-talking womaniser.’ Last being seen on the Square in 2014, he’ll still be the lovable rogue fans knew before. The soap’s Executive Producer, Chris Clenshaw also added: “David Wicks is undoubtedly one of EastEnders’ most beloved rogues, and we are thrilled to welcome the talented Michael French back to the legendary role as we lead up to the show’s 40 th anniversary.
