EastEnders viewers were left feeling "physically sick" after Dean Wicks forced Linda Carter to take back her rape accusation in harrowing scenes in Wednesday's (22 November) episode. <\/p>\n

After winding up in hospital following an altercation with George Knight, Dean set out to get revenge on Linda and her family as he threatened to report George – Linda's mum Elaine's boyfriend – to the police. <\/p>\n

It was revealed that George is currently serving a suspended sentence, prompting Linda and Elaine to try to come up with a plan to cover for him to ensure he doesn't go to prison. <\/p>\n

Dean said he wouldn't report George if Linda would confess to 'lying' about him raping her, as he continued to insist they had consensual sex. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A distraught Linda told Elaine about Dean's demand, with Elaine eventually talking her daughter into doing it so that George could be let off the hook. <\/p>\n

In harrowing scenes at the end of Wednesday's episode, Linda arrived at Beale's Eels to find Dean alone. She told him she would say whatever it takes to ensure he doesn't report George and proceeded to take back her accusation, before saying she "lied" and "wanted to sleep" with Dean. <\/p>\n

Linda was clearly distraught and ran back to the Queen Vic, where she broke down at the bar and became unconsolable. Unbeknown to Linda, Dean had recorded the entire conversation on his mobile phone, meaning he now has evidence of Linda's false confession. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fans of EastEnders were "sickened" by the latest twist in Dean's storyline, with many saying they had to turn the soap over and they felt "sick" watching Linda having to lie about what had happened to her. <\/p>\n

"Had to turn over.. The Dean storyline makes me feel physically sick! Very very bad storyline writers. I have watched this show since the first episode and this is the first time I'll turn off! #EastEnders," one viewer wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. <\/p>\n

A second fan said: "My skin was crawling watching this. How sickening! #EastEnders," alongside a clip of Linda. <\/p>\n

"Sorry #EastEnders wrong call for this storyline making #Linda say she lied. This will be triggering for so many! I actually feel sick @bbceastenders," a third viewer fumed. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Others shared their hopes of Dean being the mystery man who dies in the Queen Vic at Christmas, as the upcoming whodunnit storyline begins to build up. <\/p>\n

"#EastEnders Better be him on the Queen Vic floor Christmas," one said, while a second penned: "Is it Christmas Day yet? Because I want Dean dead. Someone lend him some cufflinks. #EastEnders."<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
