EastEnders spoilers: Yolande shattered by event as upsetting rumours grow

Yolande Trueman (Angela Wynter) is to be left devastated when rumours fly about her relationship with Pastor Clayton (Howard Saddler) next week in EastEnders.

Comments had already been made about the pair’s friendship when Denzel Danes (Jaden Ladega) was helping them out at the community centre.

Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James) made a joke about there being more than meets they eye with the two, with Denzel leaping to their defence.

After spending more time around the two, Denzel admitted to Yolande that he thought the Pastor had somewhat of an admiration for her.

Denzel has noticed Pastor Clayton’s affections for Yolande

Worried about the effect it might have after recently reconciling with ex-husband Patrick (Rudolph Walker), she brushed off the claims.

In upcoming scenes, Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) agrees to help out Jade Masood (Elizabeth Green) with a charity auction she’s arranged but is planning to cancel due to the amount of preparation it requires.

Realising there is a huge lack of donations, she asks Yolande and the Pastor to step in and aid the teen, who is currently stuck between a rock and a hard place as she debates moving to Pakistan, thousands of miles away from her controlling dad Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo).

At the prayer group, Yolande’s appeal for help is met with a great response when the donations fly in.

However, when church-goer Agatha suggests that fellow parishioners have been gossiping about her relationship with Pastor Clayton, she’s mortified.

Following an upsetting incident, he forces her to come clean about what’s been said and promises her that they won’t let the gossips get the better of their close friendship.

Could an affair be on the cards for the pair, or will Patrick get the wrong idea when he returns to Walford?
