EASTENDERS fans have slated an 'unbearable scumbag' character – and have 'launched a petition' to bosses to make a big change. <\/p>\n
The BBC soap has been dealing with the return of Dean Wicks – Linda Carter's rapist – in recent weeks. <\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
In this week's episodes, Dean said he wouldn't go to the police<\/span> about George Knight hitting him and causing him to fall down the stairs at the Vic if Linda admitted she had lied about him raping her in 2014. <\/p>\n A distraught Linda spoke to her family and mum Elaine, who told her daughter they were "only words", so she went ahead and did what Dean asked. <\/p>\n Linda didn't realise Dean was recording what she said, and in last night's episode, the toll of what she had to do almost made her turn to drink again. <\/p>\n Thankfully Elaine's partner George caught her in time and the pair had a heart to heart, but it left some EastEnders viewers blaming Elaine for not considering her daughter's needs enough. <\/p>\n Taking to X – formerly Twitter – one wrote: "Elaine to Linda, 'Omg I didn't know what this would do to you :'(' . Dumbest character of the week goes to\u2026.. #EastEnders."<\/p>\n Another added: "Elaine is unbearable, which is a shame because Harriet Thorpe is a lot of fun to watch (apart from this weeks scenes)."<\/p>\n A third tweeted: "At least Elaine acted vaguely human towards Linda today \u2026 Still needs to be b**** slapped."<\/p>\n Meanwhile a fourth shared: "Can we start an official petition or a go fund me for the costume department at #Eastenders to buy Elaine some actual clothes so she doesn\u2019t have to keep wearing lingerie under a blazer all the time?"<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n A fellow viewer tweeted: "Elaine is a scumbag couldn\u2019t care less about her daughter and only cares about George!"<\/p>\n Thankfully Elaine came to her senses and encouraged her daughter to "take her power<\/span> back", prompting Linda to go round to Beale's Eels and put Dean in his place. <\/p>\n EastEnders airs on BBC One<\/span> and is available on BBC iPlayer.<\/strong><\/p>\nRead More on EastEnders<\/h2>\n
