Is he related to David and Simon Wicks?? How is he a Wicks then? Or is it just a coincidence?

Their cousin was Kevin Wicks. He is Kevin's son (though it turned out biologically he was not).

David isn't a biological Wicks either.

He is a Wicks because he took Kevin Wicks's name, as Kevin raised him as his own. When he was introduced, it was thought that Dean was Kevin's biological child, but that turned out not to be the case.

Brian Wicks was David's step father, allegedly Simon's biological father and Kevin Wicks's uncle. Dean and Simon are therefore step first cousin once removed and Dean and David sort of step first cousin once removed, as that relies on two lots of step.

Kevin and Simon are first cousins and Kevin and David step first cousins.

Neither Dean nor David are actually biologically members of the Wicks family despite both having the surname. David's father was Pete Beale he just took the surname of his stepfather Brian Wicks. And Dean grew up believing Kevin Wicks was his father however it turned out that he wasn't as Shirley was sleeping around at the time of his conception. Kevin was the nephew of Brian therefore making Kevin Simons cousin and Dean (if he were Kevin's son) Simons first cousin once removed

I could never understand why Pat took them in, they were nothing to her. She couldn't give a toss about her own children so I could not accept that she would have formed a bond with Kevin. It was just an excuse to give Pat family and to keep the a wicks name.

It's pretty trendy to call yourself Wicks these days despite not actually being one. All the cool kids are doing it.

Yours sincerely,

I agree if they wanted to create more family for Pat they should have introduced one of her blood related nieces or nephews and their family - who are also Mo's children which would have added an extra family dynamic and meant they were also related to the Slaters. I found it hard to believe Pat had such a strong bond with her ex-husband Brian's nephew and his kids considering how miserable her marriage to Brian was and the fact she had never mentioned them in 20 years.

She had another brother didn't she? Or Kevin could have been her first cousin once removed at a push. It made no sense that Dean would go looking for Pat when he had blood relatives he could have gone to like his uncle Micks. Likewise how many times was Pat homeless over the years but she never turned up on Kevin's doorstep

This! It was believable that she would take Ricky and Janine under her wing as she admitted that Frank was the only one she should have married, but not Kevin and Co.

Dean arrived in early 2006 - when Kat had just left and Little Mo was on the way out. It would have been the ideal time to bring in Mo's kids and Pat's niece and nephew, benefitting both Pat and Mo/The Slaters.

Not biologically. David and Simon were adopted by pat's second husband Brian Wicks who was Kevin Wicks cousin or nephew (forget which) who raised Dean but wasn't his biological father as Shirley cheated on him. It turned out that Simon was probably Brians so he is blood related to Kevin but not to Dean and David isn't actually related to any of them.

Hope that helps.

I think it was just that she was at a loose end and had something of 'empty nest' syndrome for Frank's kids. She was lonely so it was easy to take them in and she'd mellowed by then. If it had been at another point in her life, after Bianca turned up with her kids for eample I doubt she'd have been as obliging.
