Bianca Jackson is set to face one of her biggest shocks as her estranged father David Wicks will be returning to Albert Square to help her. The EastEnders favourite portrayed by Patsy Palmer returned to Albert Square this week, after finding out that her sister Sonia Fowler had been thrown in prison for the murder of Debbie Colwell .
