Dean comes across as a character that I cannot relate to or feel is genuine. He comes across as a poor actor and a creep. I fully understand it's a part of his character but he is poor in fitting in with the show and I do not like to watch his scenes as it makes me cringe.

I understand that his role is a creepy rejected kid, but his aura just makes me feel confused and cannot relate to the character at all.

He feels so fake, as if he is in the wrong job.

Yeah I'm having big trouble trying to get into his character. Usually I love the bad boys like Trevor, Sean etc but with Dean its all so not real. I can't believe it and I'm not interested in his story. Mainly because I never rated Matt in the first place.

He's defiantly a creep, but then that's how his characters supposed to be, so he's doing a pretty good job.

We are cringing at his bad, play school acting. Matt hasn't got the range to play psycho. Smirking at the camera! what is this!? He is too amateur and its becoming more and more obvious he is out of his depth.

No he's a right sleazoid, the way he keeps harassing Linda is really quite uncomfortable.

why did they bring him back anyway, his character now is even worse than his first stint.

I think he's doing a good job as well

Fully agree with you.

To me the grin was perfectly clear. He thinks she likes a bit of rough & tumble. This will form part of his sexual fantasies & will move him into dangerous territory of thinking she will putup a bit of resistance during sex.
Sorry- isn't this obvious??

I do understand it but I don't believe Dean as this character or Matt as an actor.

Martin Kemp, Alex Ferns, Robert Kazinsky, Larry Lamb, Steve John Stepherd. They did it right.

He keeps wiping at his nose with his hand. I think he's on drugs, and I think he was on the bus with Lucy. Drugs would also explain his creepy ass behavior.

I believe he will rape her. That must be what Matt was unhappy with.

I noticed that too - in his first ep back in the Vic he did it. I thought that was just what Matt did but it could definitely be in the script.

I've never liked the character, and he's returned even creepier than before.

Yes. A huge creep.
Still, that doesn't stop the naive girls of Walford going crazy over him. Whitney already looks ready to drop her knickers for him . That scene in the pub with Whitney, Abi, Lola and Lauren was like something from a teen drama.

Really creepy. I was very surprised to see Linda bending over right in front of him like that, he's already squeezed her bum once and she didn't like it.

The weird grin at the end was clearly stage direction. I dont get why people struggle to understand Deans behaviour. If Steve John Shepherd had played that scene in the same way no-one would be complaining about an inappropriate grin.

When he was in it before, he was just a poor actor, this time around he's a sleaze and a poor actor. He wasn't so bad in Hustle, perhaps he's not suited to working in soaps.

Yep. He's a creep. Dean is being made to look really bad so Mick and more importantly Shirley look good.

Dean = Bad
Shirley/Mick = Good

It's a lazy way to write off Shirley's bad parenting. No doubt Mick will be her knight in shining armour when Dirty Dean shows his true colours leading to an emotional reunion for mother and son while weirdo pervy freak Dean is sent packing.

I hope they don't go down the storyline of rape, it would be too predictable.
I want it to remain an obsession from a confused, mixed up and emotionally stunted young man.

Can't stand him, not a great actor either, never did get the fuss about him unless its cos he's considered fit.
