In EastEnders, Johnny Carter's comeback tells a story of payback and second chances. Played by Charlie Suff, Johnny's return to Walford throws him into a whirlwind of family and personal drama.

Everyone is surprised by Johnny's entrance because, being Linda Carter's son, he must cope with the fallout from his mother's relapse into alcoholism. Johnny is committed to learning the truth about Linda, and he's concentrating on Dean Wicks, the man at the root of all her issues.

Fueled by a mix of sadness and anger, Suff's character is on a mission to make things right. This leads him straight to a showdown with Dean, although it's a mess that could ruin everything for the Carter family. The big showdown will likely decide Johnny's fate and shake up Walford.

However, when he eventually finds out that Gina used to date Dean, it pisses him off completely. Johnny teams up with Gina to try and get rid of evidence against Linda so they can take down Dean. But their plan is upended when Dean figures out what they're up to.

Things start to spiral out of hand, and a huge argument breaks out in the Carter family, revealing all their issues. Charlie Suff brings out the inner conflict and determination of Johnny, especially with everything going on with Linda.


Who did Dean Wicks have a baby with on EastEnders?

In EastEnders, Dean Wicks has a daughter named Jade Green with Shabnam Masood. Following a one-night stand back in 2008, Shabnam got pregnant, but she decided to leave Walford soon after. She gives birth to a baby girl and names her Roya. Later on, in 2014, Shabnam returned to the show.

This revelation prompts Dean to discover the truth about their baby. Despite Shabnam's insistence that the baby is dead, Dean begins to harbor doubts. So, Roya is alive and goes by the name Jade Green now.

This news greatly impacts Dean and Shabnam and their relationship changes. When Jade Green appeared in 2015, she brought with her a new level of drama. Dean then began to navigate being a father, while dealing with his complicated past.
