A user with the handle @tamlizann25 hedged their bets offering several options: \u201cDavid Wicks? Cindy Jnr? Gina her sister? #Eastenders,\u201d they wrote. (sic)<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, @Only1Chambers threw a spanner in the works suggesting \u201cSimon Wicks\u201d. Simon, who was played by Nick Berry, was David’s brother.<\/p>\n
David Wicks, played by Michael French, first appeared on EastEnders as the son of Pat Wicks (Pam St Clement) from December 1993 to November 1996.<\/p>\n
He then returned to the show in January 2012 but only stayed a fortnight departing later that month.<\/p>\n
Since then, Michael has gone on to appear in both Holby City and Casualty as clinical lead Nick Jordan.<\/p>\n

More info<\/p>\n David\u2019s relationship with Cindy is complicated as he had an affair with her while she was married to Ian and is the father of her first child Stephen. Although she left Ian for him, she later returned and Ian raised Stephen as his own.<\/p>\n With that all behind them now, Cindy is keen to put down proper roots in Walford and reunite with her daughters Anna (Molly Rainford) and Gina Knight ( Francesca Henry )and as such she is desperate to start her own business.<\/p>\n Having convinced Ian to buy the empty pawnshop and turn it into a pie-and-mash shop they have struggled to raise the finance to secure the premises.<\/p>\n When they hear there is another interested buyer, Cindy suggests meeting them to try and make a deal much to Ian\u2019s chagrin.<\/p>\n With her so reticent to reveal the identity of the buyer, there is every possibility it is someone she has a romantic history with making David a prime candidate.<\/p>\n EastEnders is on BBC One Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
