EastEnders viewers were left questioning the identity of mysterious “Holly” after a scene with David Wicks during a recent episode of the BBC One soap.
There was also a mention of a character linked to David and his daughter Bianca Jackson called Joe, who is actually a former character on the show.
David was trying to help Bianca as she continued to spiral with her friend Kat Slater urging David to get her help. As David made a deal with Reiss Colwell to leave Walford for a bit, amid Bianca trying to prove he killed his wife Debbie, he ended up pushing Bianca away further.
Having been absent for a while, she slammed him for not being there for her during tough times recently. David claimed he was here for her now and wanted to help her, clearly worried for her mental health amid Freddie Slater suggesting she may have ADHD.

But as David spoke to Bianca, he brought up his son and her sibling Joe Wicks. There was someone else mentioned in the episode though that fans didn’t know, and they were soon left speculating their true identity.
Holly is the name of a mystery character linked to David with him seemingly avoiding her. He ignored a call from her on his phone on Monday (October 7), leaving fans all asking the same thing.
One viewer said: “WHO is Holly?” as another asked: “WHO IS HOLLY?” Some viewers think they know who it could be, with one suggesting: “Is she a new character?”

Another theory suggested it’s either his new partner or maybe someone linked to Joe. A fan said: “Probably a ex/current girlfriend or wife, that or she’s the wife of Joe Wicks (David’s son/Bianca’s brother) as he’s been mentioned.”
As mentioned above, Joe Wicks is the son of David and brother of Bianca. He used to be on the show years ago, and was played by actor Paul Nicholls.
David spoke of Joe not being able to let things go in the latest episode, leading to Bianca calling him out. She screamed: “Why are you talking about Joe? Do you think I’m schizophrenic?”

Bianca was referencing a huge storyline for the former character as he battled with his mental health after the death of his sister Karen. After exhibiting strange behaviour he was diagnosed with the condition, and sadly he attempted to take his own life.
Joe left Walford back in 1997 a year on from his debut, moving away with his mum Lorraine. He was mentioned by David back in 2012, when David came back to say goodbye to his dying mother Pat Butcher.
There was mention of Joe having a girlfriend with two children while it was later revealed David had lost contact with his son. Years on it’s not clear whether he and Joe are back on talking terms. Given the mention of him, fans can’t help but wonder if a return is on the cards.
EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer
