EastEnders: Dean trial latest
The day of Dean’s trial finally arrived in EastEnders, with many of ‘The Six’ being called up to the stand. Stacey nailed her cross-examination and managed the pressure well.
Sharon was up next. She faced extreme scrutiny from Dean’s lawyer, who took great pleasure in bringing up her multiple marriages. As she tried to defend herself, Sharon eventually ended up being led out of the court room. She was then held in contempt of court.
Meanwhile, Linda continued to doubt her ability to withstand the cross-examination but she eventually turned up to court after some interference from ‘The Six.’ She took to the stand and stood strong against Dean’s lawyer, sticking to her story while also being open about her alcoholism as she said: “My name is Linda Carter and I’m an alcoholic.”
In a shock moment, Dean then confessed to sexually assaulting Linda after 10 years of her waiting for him to tell the truth. However, it remains to be seen how this will impact the trial going forward.
