A dramatic resolution is to be expected as Linda’s rape storyline enters its final stages, and producer Dominic Treadwell insists viewers will be satisfied with the conclusion. 

‘We're not The Bill. That show was about the police solving things. I don't have main characters who are police officers,’ he said.

‘We have tried very hard to create police characters who are interesting and who have their own stories. And there are more police twists coming up. But that's not who my viewers are tuning in to see.

Face to face: Dean Wicks, played by Matt D'Anglelo, talks to duty solicitor Katie McCoy, played by Linda Armstrong 

‘They want to see Linda and Mick. They're the people they care about and not the police. So the police solving it is not satisfying for the viewer.’

Fans of the show recently saw furious Mick Carter, played by Danny Dyer, take matters into his own hands and storms over to his brother’s hair salon, Blades.

Although, the family have got the police involved, the soap's executive producer revealed that Dean won't be facing justice through the courts.

'In real life, a lot of people don't get their comeuppance. There will have to be a satisfying ending to the story, but it won't be what you expect,' he said back in October.

Quiet reflection: Dean looks panic stricken after being left alone with his thoughts in the episode, which airs on January 30th 

'The easy and wrong way to tell the story would be to have Dean arrested and taken off to prison. I'd loved to have done a big trial, but there won't be one.'

Meanwhile Kellie Bright, who plays Linda, admitted she hopes her character will have a direct confrontation with rapist Dean.

‘Recently, I've been feeling very strongly that Linda should have a face to face with Dean,’ she said.

‘There are a lot of people fighting for Linda and I personally want to see Linda fight for herself.’
