3 Iconic David Wick Moments In EastEnders
One of David’s iconic moments in EastEnders was after Carol revealed to him who Bianca was – his daughter in March 1994. Fast forward to 1995, father and daughter were seen in a closed room. A drunken daughter Bianca tries to kiss David after he rescued her from being mugged. Despite his resistance from his daughter’s sexual approach, David was forced to let out the cat that she is his daughter.
A sorry Bianca became hostile towards David over his absence in her life but she eventually had a change of heart and is very interested in bonding with her father. The relationship later got complicated when David confessed in the Samaritans charity that he still feels sexually attracted to his daughter despite the fact he is aware she is his biological daughter.
The second iconic moment shows us how Cindy tried to kill Ian to be with David Wick. She came up with asking David to tow away with her and the kids before she was sent to prison but David turned her down and that was the end of their relationship.
When the duo came face to face for the first time in 20 years, David couldn’t hide his shock when he got wind that Cindy and Ian were back together, whom he told had died in prison. Fans are now convinced the pair could end up back together, amid Cindy’s affair with Junior Knight.
The last iconic moment captured David paying a visit to Albert Square on New Year Eve 2012 to visit his sick mother who unknowingly to him was dying of pancreatic cancer. Despite his effort to work things out between him and his mother, David ended up wanting to leave but was eventually convinced by carol to stay as it could be his last chance to make amend and forgive his mother.
