is a
Fictional Character in the popular
BBC Soap Opera ''
EastEnders ''. He is played by
Michael French . He is the son of
Pat Evans and the brother of
Simon Wicks .
David moved away from home at a young age, and his mother didn't see him till he turned up on her doorstep in
1993 . Before this in his teenage years David had unknowingly got
Carol Jackson pregnant with a daughter, who was named
Bianca . David didn't find out until a couple of years living in
Albert Square when Carol moved in with Bianca and a few more kids. David almost went into a relationship with Bianca before he realised that she was his daughter. When he found out eventually he told her after she was coming onto him constantly. Afterwards Bianca was very frosty towards him but eventually they formed a relationship and became quite close.
During the time period of having moved away and his return to Albert Square, he married
Lorraine Wicks and had two children,
Joe and Karen.
Karen died in a car crash shortly after David left after having repetitive affairs and being asked to leave by Lorraine. Joe later turned up in
Walford in
1996 .
Joe's return caused many problems for David, and at first David rejected the idea of having his son back in his life. However, after Joe ran away and turned up at David's again he became more receptive to Joe and having him in his life again. Eventually Joe and Lorraine moved down to
London from
Bolton and Joe moved in with David. Things went OK for a little while but Karen's death had seriously affected Joe. Joe blamed himself for Karen's death because the day that Karen died they had had an argument over who would sit in the front seat in the car. Joe won and Karen was sitting in the back when a
Lorry crashed into the car. Karen was horrificly injured and died whilst Joe walked away with little more then bruises. This lead to Joe developing
Schizophrenia and exhibiting increasingly weird behaviour that got progressively worse. This was too much for David and one of the reasons why he left eventually.
David was a notorious womaniser. He had relations with
Sam Mitchell and an affair with
Cindy Beale , the wife of
Ian Beale . Eventually Cindy became obsessed with the idea of running off with David and hired a hit man to kill Ian. Ian was shot and when David found out, he found it too much and ended the relationship, not before helping her escape with Ian & her two children. Eventually it came out about David's affair and fore knowledge of the attempted murder of Ian, and with the loss of friends and alienation of his family together with Joe's worsening mental condition he decided it was too much and left Albert Square in a torrid of tears one night after telling Joe he was going. He went to
Milan at first and hasn't been heard from since.
