Hard to tell between in denial and not believing it. I don't think he genuinely thought it was a rape at the time. Maybe the truth will finally hit him and that's how we'll be expected to 'forgive' his character. Has ruined him for life in my opinion.
It's up to the viewers to make their own interpretation but I've always thought he was delusional and doesn't think he raped her though he obviously did.
No, he does not. And there's nothing ambiguous about that on screen. Di Angelo is doing an excellent job with this and his portrayal is that of the manipulative sociopath.
According to certain soap interviews they state that Dean believes the sex was consensual. That is all I am willing to say on this matter as it appears if you express anymore of an opinion it creates hell on earth!

I'm not sure. I think he was in complete denial to start with but more recently there have been indications that he is aware and covering his tracks. The only way I can see this one playing out now, given that it is his word against Linda's, is a second attack and Dean getting caught, leaving no doubt in anyone's mind that he did rape Linda. How that leads to an exit without criminal justice I don't know. I just wish they'd hurry up with it. Unlike some of you, I think Matt Di Angelo is totally out of his depth with all this as he is such a limited actor.
Sorry to all the people who wish he could be redeemed because he's hot, but he told Shirley that Linda never said "no", when she clearly did, loudly and numerous times.
He's lying, he knows he's lying, and therefore he knows he's guilty.

Exactly this. If he didn't realise he'd done something wrong then he wouldn't be lying about it.

Yes. I just want to see an end to this storyline and to see him get his comeuppance and disappear with any luck.

That's why the questioning is going to be so interesting, as we'll find out a lot more about him by the way he acts with the pólice.

I completely agree.
Unless he has selective hearing, he heard Linda saying no and yet he told his mum that she didn't say anything.

If you bothered to read any of the other multiple threads on the subject, you'd already know what people think.
