Are the Eastenders writers trying to pretend that Dean was never called Deano? The Carters know him as Dean but surely Denise would've called him Deano tonight since that's what he was called the last time she saw him. .
Didn't you watch fridays when shirley was buying the vodka in the shop, she told denise and shabnam that dean was back, shabnam said "deano?" Shirley snapped no i said dean.

Why would she call him Deano? She was married to his dad and his dad always called him Dean.

Because that's what she and everyone called him. Only his parents referred to him as his regular name. Hence Shirley corrected Shabnam in the Minute Mart.

Will point out that Denise has been in regular (well semi regular) contact with Carly over the years as we found out when she came back briefly. So if Carly has also been in contact with Dean then she might have passed on to Denise that he prefers to go by Dean now.

Stan told Shirley that he had dropped the 'O' and in the minute mart, when Shabnam called him 'Deano', Shirley corrected her, Denise was there. Though I think it's more plausible that he sent out an memo before is return. haha

Indeed. It's worth bearing in mind too that not every second of each characters day is shown on screen & after Stan told Shirley about Dean not wanting to be known as Deano anymore it's the kind of conversation that Shirley and Denise may have had 'offscreen' (ie something that they would likely have chatted about but not worth showing in a scene).
But she was never his "parent" and always called him Deano. The same as everyone else bar Kevin and Shirley.
Maybe she acknowledged that he is now a fully grown man and felt embarrassed calling him by a silly childish nickname, so instead chose to address him by his proper name.
But she used to call him Deano. Only Kevin and sometimes Shirley called him Dean.
Carly called him Dean from time to time as well and Denise used to be their step-mother (sort of) so I don't think it's that unrealistic that she would call him Dean. It is his real name after all.

Which has nothing to do with my post, but thanks anyway.

Nice catch.

Everyone called him Deano back then.
^ This.
I didn't
Denise was married to his dad...Yes ?
But she used to call him Deano. Only Kevin and sometimes Shirley called him Dean.
I think the move from Deano to Dean is to make him more grown up and a bad boy but it is all a bit forced.
But failed to pass on to Dean that Pat was dead?

I may well be wrong but I don't recall Dean ever having a one to one with Pat.

If Kevin called him Dean, why would his wife call him anything different?
