Deano convinced Pat to let him stay with her, after telling her his father had died a few weeks previously in a car accident. (This later turned out to be a lie when Deano's father arrived on the Square.) Deano soon befriended Dawn Swann, who rejected his flirtatious advances, and Gus Smith, whom he helped in his campaign to free his imprisoned dog, Wellard.

Deano wanted Stacey to lighten up as she was in a bad mood, so he spiked her drink with a drug. On her way home from the club, Stacey collapsed on the street. Deano and Bradley found her and Deano went to get some blankets to keep her warm. When Bradley picked Stacey up and put her on a bench, she woke up and hit him because she thought he was attacking her. After Bradley was arrested for attempted rape, Deano felt gulity that it was all his fault and admitted to Stacey he spiked her drink. She then flew into a rage and slapped him. Deano went to the police and confessed he had spiked Stacey's drink. He begged the police not to put him in jail, as he only wanted to cheer Stacey up. Bradley was finally released and Deano asked him to forgive him and be friends again.

During a conversation with Pat, Kevin revealed that he'd had another son, James (or Jimbo) Wicks. Lively Jimbo had died of cystic fibrosis, and quiet Dean had promised to do all the things Jimbo never got to. Dean became Deano overnight, after Jimbo's death, as Jimbo was his best friend as well as his brother.

In late 2006, Kevin took his children, along with Denise and her family, and Patrick and Yolande Trueman on holiday to Dorset. Deano's mother and Kevin's ex-wife Shirley was tipped off that they were there by Kevin's old friend Dylan. Shirley broke into Kevin's minivan, discovering where Kevin, Deano and Carly were now living. She deliberately bumped into her children and pretended to be a stranger, as they had not seen her since they were children. She later came to the holiday house and Kevin was surprised to see her. He told her to leave him, Deano and Carly alone. Patrick Neville Loftus Alfonso Trueman is a fictional character in the popular British BBC soap opera EastEnders. ...

On 1 January 2007, Shirley came to Walford to see Carly and Deano. She walked into Kevin, and he dragged her into the men's public toilets, where he made her beg to see the children. Carly saw them fighting outside and worked out that Shirley was her mother. Carly deliberately bumped into Shirley, pretending she didn't know who she was, and invited her back to their home. Kevin and Denise returned home, and while Shirley took a bath, Carly forced Kevin to admit that Shirley was their mother. When Shirley returned downstairs, she asked Carly and Deano if they had a hug for their mother. Carly threw her out, and she later gave her address to Denise, who later passed it on to a depressed Deano.

Shirley decided to leave her family again, but when Deano told Kevin that he thought Shirley had left seventeen years previously because of him, Kevin made Shirley stay to put things right with Deano. She then got a job and a flat locally, saying she was staying around. She bribed Kevin with a secret that he was keeping from Deano and Carly. Shirly later told the secret to Pat Evans, and when Carly was suspicious, she and Deano forced Kevin to tell them the truth — that he was not their real father. Shirley revealed that both Carly and Deano had been the products of one-night stands, and that she could not even remember the name of Deano's real father. Deano was devastated by this news and after shouting at Kevin, he stormed out of the house. He was found by Martin Fowler at the allotments drinking and afterwards he went to the car lot and splashed petrol all over the portakabin. He pulled out a lighter ready to commit suicide but was found by Kevin before he did it. Deano still threatened to torch the car lot but after Kevin explained that he had always loved him and cared for him as if he were his real son, Deano broke down crying and into Kevin's arms. Carly's forgiveness of Kevin did not match up to Deano's however and while Carly was helping Kevin prepare a meal for Jimbo's birthday on 1 February, the two got into a blazing row. Carly smashed up the dishes and raged that Kevin was nothing but a fake and told him to leave as he had always wanted to. Deeply hurt by Carly's rejection, Kevin drove away from Walford. Deano was distraught by his dad's disappearance and always supsected that Carly had more of a role in Kevin's departure than she was letting on. He also expressed anger when Denise made insensitive comments about Kevin and when Carly threw all his clothes out onto the street. Kevin eventually returned to Walford and Carly was the first to see him but yet again he faced rejection from her and she didn't inform her family of his return. The next morning, after Kevin had ended up in bed with Shirley, Kevin set out to re-build his family and sent a text to Deano from Shirley's phone, telling him to go to the allotments. Deano was delighted to see him and convinced him to go and find Carly, unaware of the confrontation between the two the previous night. Deano hid away ready to take a photo of Carly's reaction when she saw Kevin but was stunned to see Carly reject him and mention seeing him the night before. Deano worked out that Carly was responsible for Kevin's exit and raged at her, but Kevin managed to settle him. Deano later joined Kevin and Pat for a drink closely followed by Carly, and the family agreed to be together again.

Kevin got engaged to Denise but Deano was upset and angry when Denise chose 27 April as the wedding date, the anniversary of his deceased brother Jimbo's death. Deano defiantly refused to attend the wedding, feeling it was betraying his brother's memory, and he stayed with Shirley to get away from everyone else. After Kevin showed Deano a family video of Jimbo as a youngster, he stormed out even more upset but Shirley followed and comforted him, after which he announced he was moving in with her permanently. Deano eventually relented and attended Kevin's stag night with Patrick where he told Kevin he would come to the wedding after all.

After writing about their relationships with Sean for the police, they left only to see Sean being taken to a cell by police, meaning Sean knew that Chelsea and Deano were the witnesses.
