EastEnders: Gina was down in the dumps

Last night, George, Gina and Anna all returned from Spain with some good news. Anna was delighted to be returning back to The Vic to see her dog Tyson, but Gina wasn’t in good spirits.

George announced that they’d found a buyer for their bar in Marbella. However, Gina had other things on her mind.

Anna then revealed that Gina had some troubles with her ex boyfriend in Spain. Gina hadn’t wanted to talk about it anymore though and had headed upstairs.

Tonight (Tuesday September 26), she revealed more to her mum, Cindy, about how her boyfriend in Marbella had moved on to another girl.

EastEnders fans ‘workout’ Dean Wicks death link

EastEnders fans have been thinking that Dean Wicks will return to die at Christmas for quite a while but now they’ve found evidence that he could be about to make a comeback.

They reckon that Dean is Gina’s ex boyfriend and that chaos will erupt when Gina learns what Dean did to Linda.

One fan commented: “‘Ex-boyfriend troubles’ – it really is going to be Dean Wicks isn’t it?”

Another fan noted: “Gina has an ex boyfriend in Spain? Interesting how it keeps being brought up. With everyone theorising he could be Dean.”

A third viewer replied: “THAT would be a good twist. Dean Wicks and Gina Knight. Could her ex make his way to Walford?”
