Kevin Wicks was a charismatic family man who arrives in Walford in pursuit of his son Deano Wicks. He was a good-hearted father but now that his children have grown up, he felt it was time to have a life of his own. However, just as he was about to set off on an adventure, family problems brought his plans crashing down and sent him to Albert Square instead. He consoled Carly Wicks on her broken marriage, and tried to keep son Deano in line. His sometimes annoying spouting of folk wisdom is more than compensated for by his humour and good sense.

He unsuccessfully fought a growing attraction to Denise Fox, and he then had to cope with running the car lot and dealing wit
