EastEnders legend makes shock comeback for ex-boyfriend
PATRICK Trueman left Albert Square earlier this year to go on the search for his former wife Yolande.
But after coming back to Walford alone, the EastEnders favourite gets a shock when a she pays him a surprise visit.
BBC One viewers were shocked when Patrick Trueman (portrayed by Rudolph Walker) made the decision to leave the Square and go on the search for his ex-wife Yolande.
The couple have been officially divorced since 2009, after Yolande chose to start afresh in Birmingham and Patrick was initially meant to join her – but he never did.
Yolande still made sporadic comebacks to the Square but she was no longer a series regular.
Actress Angela Wynter makes a long-awaited return to the London-based program next week, six years after her last appearance – is she here to stay?
It all begins when Kim Fox (Tameka Empson) recruits Patrick to dish out love advice in her latest ‘Kimfluencer’ video.
A reluctant Patrick starts dispensing relationship wisdom on camera until he’s interrupted by the arrival of a special visitor who is none other than Yolande.
She quickly reveals that her boyfriend Anton has thrown her out and she wants to stay with him, but a nervous Patrick isn’t sure that’s a good idea.
Bruised following the rejection, Yolande leaves in a huff.
Kim wants to know why Patrick isn’t fighting to win Yolande back.
Meanwhile, Denise Fox (Diane Parish) is trying to convince her to stay.
After a heart-to-heart with Yolande, Denise begs Patrick to take the chance to tell Yolande how much he cares before she leaves forever.
