Yolande begs angry Patrick to stop as he squares up to abuser Pastor Clayton in EastEnders

Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker) sees red in EastEnders next week and charges towards Pastor Clayton (Howard Saddler) after learning he sexually assaulted his partner Yolande (Angela Wynter).

The shocking revelation will be exposed when Yolande asks close friend Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) to tell Patrick, as she can’t find the words to say it herself.

Patrick’s concerns continue to grow when Sonia Jackson (Natalie Cassidy) accidentally reveals that Yolande missed a doctors appointment that he didn’t know about.

Meanwhile, at the launch of the charity food van, Denise Fox (Diane Parish) takes note that she is absent and queries it.

Following her advice to speak with the Pastor about Yolande’s behaviour, Patrick is shocked when he implies that she could be unwell and later confronts her about it, leaving her understandably furious.

Realising that she’ll never be able to bring herself to admit the truth, she contacts Elaine and asks her to do it for her.

Over the phone, she gently explains what happened and Patrick can’t process the news, and when he tries to speak with Yolande she locks herself away in the bathroom.

Fuelled with anger and hatred, he decides to charge towards Pastor Clayton, but she quickly stops him and the two discuss her ordeal and she agrees to report him to the church officials.

She tells Levi (Mark Akintimehin) about the sexual assault and he commends her bravery, promising to take action, but when Patrick hears his meeting with the church superiors isn’t until the following week, he decides to take the matter into his own hands.

At the community centre, he comes face to face with the abuser, and Yolande begins him to stop.

Will Patrick regret his actions?
