I don't understand how Linda is like it's ok leave Dean be, when he strolls into the pub like he's done nothing - I actually think it's his twisted way of taunting Linda.

Fair enough Linda is the victim and is dealing with it in her own way. But if I was mick (or one of the kids) I wouldn't care if she said leave him, I'd chuck the slime out. I wouldn't have him standing in our home in front of my partner. It's so frustrating!!!

Realistically, that would be the right thing to do.

However, I'm beyond bored of Mick throwing Dean out of The Vic now, as it's happened so many times. Either way, you can't win. I suppose we'll have to wait and see how Ronnie deals with him.

It's difficult to stop him, especially when he has connections with those who are frequently in the pub e.g. Denise, Roxy etc. I doubt Mick or the others want to waste their time and energy booting him out all the time. Also in EastEnders when has being barred ever stopped anyone? i.e.

Peggy: I thought you were barred
Archie: Bradley invited me. What was I supposed to do? Say no?

Every time the snake stepped foot in the door I'd through him back out. It would show people how unhinged he was with not getting the message.

That Peggy LOVED barring people so much it became her catchphrase, no one took her seriously She wouldn't have stood for this lol.

Dean is unhinged all right, I think we can all agree on that.

I think it's a bit sad they went down this route with the character. I feel a bit bad for the actor because he didn't want this story.

I agree. An erotomanic stalker storyline would have been better or if they had chosen the Dean/Linda rape route they should have explored Dean's mentality more - developed the storyline of him being delusional, maybe have him break down and be sectioned or show guilt and remorse and hand himself in, and forget this abusing Roxy and trying to set fire to the pub nonsense.

I agree. Can't believe Buster takes him in there in the first place either!

It's just contrived storytelling so that Mick will be annoyed enough to go along with Ronnie's plan. He hasn't been in there for months.

By Alfie and Phil and he was back in all within the next few episodes.

As for Dean, he should of been removed, I just don't think no one wouldn't of not said anything, it's just bizarre how they all saw him and just allowed him to remain.

I think people might be missing the point here in that Dean may still be thinking he did nothing wrong to warrant being thrown out of the Vic....hence why he still has the front to step in there occasionally!

Spot on contrived. Dean hasn't been near Vic for months. It's setting up this awful storyline of murder to get rid of a rapist. Folks on here will seriously be cheering on a murderer.

Even so, he should still have the sense to keep away, knowing that he's not welcome there. He's riling up tensions with Mick and his family and he knows it.

Agreed.
Dean knows what he did, anyway. Well this being EE they'll probably now decide that he doesn't, but it's been heavily implied more than once that he does.

They should have stuck to Dean not knowing what he did imo - that would have been much more interesting.

They could have refused to serve him.

Kind of my point in a way, the way he carries on perhaps portrays this in a way at times but I suppose his knowing smirk and his "I'm not scared of you" front when confronted by his haters as such shows that he isn't totally absolved from 'not knowing what he was doing' re his Linda rape....

I think it's pretty unrealistic that he would go in there. I don't like the way some people are making excuses for him suggesting he "had a breakdown" that made him rape! Linda and Mick are the ones needing support plus Nancy and Lee. Dean is scum and needs punishing not mollycoddling. I would be fine if Ronnie and Mick kill him. Yes that would make them murderers but Dean is a rapist! What would you do if someone raped your wife or mother? Suggest he gets help? Would you feel sorry for him and his "having a breakdown" or want him dead and gone?

oh hallelujah and thank you! that is the WHOLE point - Dean is adament he did nothing wrong, he has been found not guilty by the police, the case was thrown out (or something like that) he sees no reason why he shouldnt go into his local

If Mick and Linda want to make a point they could refuse to serve him - that would be far more effective than throwing him out

Roxy and Denise or Buster would just buy him a drink. I don't think Dean is delusional. I think he enjoys making Linda's skin crawl and he enjoys goading Mick. I think he knows exactly what he did and enjoys getting away with it. I have a feeling he'll do it again and that will be his downfall and finally his comeuppance.

I know. It's like what!? Especially since Buster has his 'suspicions'. Doesn't make any sense.

Even if he believed he didn't rape Linda, he still slept with his brother's wife. Any reasonable person would see the unreasonableness in drinking where he lived.
