More than three decades after his debut in Albert Square as Pat Butcher's son, David Wicks will make a brief return in the coming months. The specific reasons for his return have not yet been disclosed, but it has been hinted that his presence will bring substantial drama. David will reunite with his former flame, Cindy Beale, for the first time in decades. During his last stint in Walford, Cindy was presumed dead.

A significant plot twist involving witness protection saw Cindy’s return to the show last year, over twenty years after her supposed offscreen demise. David Wicks’ return coincides with a series of notable comebacks on the BBC soap, including Jane Beale's recent reappearance. David Wicks’ return is part of the show's buildup to its 40th anniversary in February next year, though the duration of his stay remains unknown. Ian Beale's half-brother is expected to stir up trouble, just months after his daughter Bianca Jackson did the same before her recent departure.

In anticipation of his return, Michael French expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "I feel honored to be asked to reprise the role of David Wicks once again. It may only be a brief visit, but we know from his past that David never fails to create a lot of drama in a very short time."
