Derek's Exit, David's Return?
If Derek is leaving EastEnders then I think LN really needs to put a lot of effort in poaching Michael French back to the show as David Wicks. The show needs a strong male figure and David would be perfect.

Michael seems happy at Holby. Not that I wouldn't object to seeing David Wicks back on the square.

Love to see David back as a whodunnit suspect, would also like him to stay on, Carol and David can reunite. Also he can apologise for driving off when Carol fell over after running after him
![]() Love to see him beat up Derek, get revenge for driving him out the square he should also punch Jack and Max. |

David is just the type of male character that the show needs right now...

That would be an amazing coup by LN if she managed to get him back full time

Why can't a new strong male figure be introduced instead of the past being dug up AGAIN?

A new character should be introduced and one that can act.

There's loads of potential storylines for David if he returned, his rocky relationship with Bianca - the daughter he never knew existed until she was an adult. Then there's Carol - his first love who he has abandon more than once. His half-brother Ian - there's unresolved issues there over Cindy and Ian's shooting. Max, Jack and Derek - they threatened to kill David when he returned for Pat's funeral he could be out for revenge. Then there's his three grandchildren who he barely knows. Etc etc.

Yes please...
David Wicks brief return was amazing. I normally don't like the Jacksons but all there scenes during the time David returned were amazing. |

It would be strange having David back without Pat though.

I'd love a David Wicks return. As already mentioned, he has so many strong ties to the Square already, there's lots of storyline potential. I'd like to see more of him and the Branning brothers . I think if he does return, there needs to be a long build up to Carol and David getting back together, rather than him being instantly forgiven .
If Vanessa returned at the same time, I'd love to see her set out to seduce David as part of her plan to get revenge on the Brannings . They'd make a dynamite couple . |

I think Davids return was one of the most universally agreed-upon successes on DS as long as I remember. It may be a case of rose-coloured glassed because I was a huge fan, but I genuinely don't remember much or any negativity. Usually on here there's a fairly 'passionate' difference of opinion on most returns / castings / storylines

When David Wicks appeared early this year I found him very wooden, I doubt he would come back any time soon either, I think he only came back to honor the character of Pat. |

I mean it was good, but I'd rather see a character come back that we haven't learnt much about especially when he is linked to one of EE's best characters at the moment. When David returned, although it was nice to see him back for me he didn't have the same spark that he used to, whether that is down to writing or the fact he hasn't played the character in so long, who knows!

The return of David Wicks on the show earlier this year was great.. he fitted back into the show right away and just seemed like he belonged, also it helps that he has history with quite a few characters such as Carol, Bianca, Phil, Ian etc. Personally David has a certain spark and energy that is exciting to watch and I think if I was the Executive Producer then I'd want to be sigining up actor Michael French for a comeback full time.
