EastEnders fans having been looking into the past of Dean Wicks, amid speculation he's about to return to the BBC soap.
A recent photograph showed he was back on the show, while it's not known if he will return to Walford.
Dean shares a history with several Walford residents, and he was involved in horrifying scenes with Linda Carter back in 2014.
Now, following the news a character will be murdered at Christmas, and with Linda being a suspect, some viewers are convinced he will be back soon - and that he might be the victim.
But who is Dean, who is he related to and what happened between him and Linda? Here's everything you need to know...
Who is Dean in EastEnders? Who plays him?
Dean, previously known as Deano, joined the BBC soap in 2006 as the son of Kevin Wicks and brother of Carly Wicks.
His mother Shirley Carter later joined the soap, while it also emerged Dean was actually the son of Buster Briggs. He is also the half-brother of Mick Carter.
Dean is played by actor Matt Di Angelo. While Dean initially left in 2008, he returned in 2014 before departing again in 2016.
What did Dean do to Linda?
Dean raped his sister-in-law Linda Carter in horrifying scenes in 2014. The attack tore the family apart, with Dean initially lying about his crime.
Linda kept her ordeal a secret for months while her husband Mick knew that something was wrong, as she continued to struggle with recent events.
While Shirley initially supported her son Dean, she soon learned the horrifying truth which led to a showdown between her, Dean and Mick in 2016.
Dean was arrested for the attempted rape of his partner Roxy Mitchell, and his family cut ties with him. Later that year he was acquitted, but Buster paid him off to leave Walford and never return.
Is Dean returning, and does he die?
It recently emerged that Shirley was in contact with Dean, after she left Walford to visit her daughter Carly following Mick's presumed death.
Linda came across a picture of Shirley, only to spot Dean in the reflection of a mirror. This is the first time viewers have seen Dean since his exit years earlier.
The twist has left many convinced he is returning, and that maybe he is the mystery victim of the upcoming Christmas Day murder.
EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
