Found this on YouTube, which gives a very accurate history of David Beale Wicks and what his character is like. The only criticism I have of the piece is that they've neglected to mention that David is actually Pete Beale's son.
Two things to mention, however: around the 15:55 mark, Tina Baker pointedly remarks that David is in no way a pipe and slippers sort of character. Very true, and if EastEnders 2.0 settles him down with Carol, that's a total retcon.
Secondly, harken unto the clip where David takes Cindy and the boys to EuroStar and literally dumps her on the platform. She begs him to come with her, and he refuses, simply giving his reason as It's what I do.
As I said, he said the very thing to Lorraine, when he quit Walford the first time, and he mentioned the same thing in last night's episode.
It's what he does - loves women and leaves them, breaks up marriages and relationships without a backward glance. Let's see what the current crop can do to mess up his character.

He's going to wind up a very sad lonely man. Ok whilst still in his late 30's he could pull it off. It will be interesting to see where they take him.
