How can they do this to deans character. Hes only character who's came back and is remotely intrested. His complicated relationship with his mother and how it progresses. After all that progress I can't believe DTC is making him a rapist. Just. Why. Oh. My. Days.
Please.
Don't.
Words can express how against I am, on this decision. No wonder Matt had rows with his boss.

I know, it's disappointing. I don't want him to leave the show either.

Yeah I feel Dean is a really great character now and they have made it so that he basically cannot stay. Which is a shame.

But, it is the way it is, and it'll be a very good storyline I'm sure.

I'm trying to see a positive - Matt will show a lot of people how good an actor he is (and the rest already know )

I hate the storyline purely because Dean is the perpetrator. I know Kellie will be amazing though. I'm still hoping that Dean won't leave and they will focus on his mental health. Although I know this time next year he will most likely be gone

Dean has so much potential - that was seen in tonight's episode especially. His time in prison needs to be explored.

That's what makes it all the more tragic. We're supposed to start to like him.

I wish he could stay too, especially after tonight's episode, but I think that's what makes the rape story a deep, raw one rather than a superficial, static one.

I don't like him but if you're a dean fan then I can well understand your angst....I doubt any character can come back from Rape....

Was EE on tonight???

Wednesday ? No.....

I posted my comment in the early hours of this morning so I was talking about last night's episode but it was still technically 'tonight'.
