Last night’s episode of EastEnders saw Walford legend David Wicks return to the Square. As daughter Bianca struggled with her mental health, David returned – just in time to find her

drunk and floundering in the rubbish.

This came as Bianca continued to unravel with sister Sonia still in prison for Debbie’s murder. Determined to clear Sonia’s name, Bianca’s mental health has continued to suffer, her

unpredictable behaviour and explosive temper doing Sonia’s case no favours.

David returned just in time to find Bianca at the end of another bender, having being thrown out of The Vic after mouthing off at poor Kojo. As she lay collapsed in a pile of rubbish and binbags, an unexpected face suddenly appeared… her dad.

But what’s next for David?

EastEnders spoilers for next week: David Wicks returns to Walford

Next week’s episodes will see the fallout of David’s return to Albert Square. First things first, David attempts to get to the bottom of Bianca’s recent struggles, including the news of Sonia’s imprisonment.

And, as he attempts to tend to Bianca, David pays a visit to faces new and old.

This includes Reiss, who David is determined to get answers from. However, he is left reeling at the arrival of Cindy, learning that his ex is very much alive… and standing right in front of him.

As David catches up with Cindy, Ian is horrified to learn that his former love rival is back in town. What does David’s sudden return mean for Cindy and Ian’s marriage?

And, amid recent events, David and Bianca share a series of deep conversations.

Can David help Bianca out of her rut?
