YOLANDE Trueman has found her mark again in Walford after making a permanent return in August, 2023.
Unfortunately for her, gossip is rife in the Square and the EastEnders legend is shaken when rumours report she’s having an affair.
Actress Angela Wynter reprised the role of Yolande Trueman last year as the character returned to Albert Square during the summer.
Upon her surprise return, Yolande rekindled her marriage with fellow legend Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker) after spending years separated from him.
As diehard viewers of the London-based program will remember, Yolande was married to Patrick Trueman when she decided to leave Walford in 2008 for a new life in Birmingham.
Although he initially planned to join her, Patrick stayed in the Square and they called time on their marriage.
In recent scenes of the BBC One soap, Yolande was the target of a brutal attack with Walford teen Denzel Danes (Jaden Ladega).
Prior to this, Denzel suspected that Yolande may be having an affair with Pastor Clayton (Howard Saddler).
Next week, Yolande is caught up with the same suspicions again as someone from the local church becomes increasingly convinced she’s hiding something.
It all begins when Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) steps in to save the day when Jade Green (Elizabeth Green) is about to cancel her charity auction but there’s an awful lot to do and very little time.
The cleaner struggles with a lack of donations for the auction but, thankfully for her, Pastor Clayton and Yolande approach her and agree to help.
Later on, Yolande addresses the prayer group to ask for donations to the charity auction.
Yolande and Pastor Clayton make an outstanding team and she gives a thrilled Jean tons of great items, becoming elated in doing so.
Unfortunately, Yolande’s joy is cut short and she’s upset to discover from fellow church-goer Agatha that people are whispering about her relationship with Pastor Clayton.
An upsetting incident at the church leaves Yolande feeling worse about the rumours flying around her and Pastor Clayton.
This is until Pastor Clayton himself makes her tell him what’s going on.
Once he finds out, he denounces the gossips, making Yolande promise that it won’t affect their friendship.
But could there be more to their bond?
Is Yolande keeping something from Patrick?
Fans may recall that Pastor Clayton was brought into the EastEnders line-up for a shocking love triangle storyline.
How will it all play out?
EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
