Patrick Trueman makes emotional promise to Yolande as she fears their marriage will end in EastEnders

Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker) finally found out the truth about Yolande Trueman’s (Angela Wynter) ordeal at the hands of Pastor Clayton (Howard Saddler) in recent EastEnders scenes, and made an emotional promise.

Pastor Clayton sexually assaulted Yolande several weeks ago, and she has since been suffering in silence.

However, Patrick could tell that something wasn’t right and was desperate to get to the bottom of her unusual behaviour.

When Yolande herself was unable to find the words to tell Patrick what had happened to her, she asked Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe) to break it to him over the phone.

Patrick made Yolande an emotional promise

After the initial shock of the revelation, Patrick swore to get revenge, but was soon stopped by Yolande who wanted to keep her business private.

Unfortunately, Patrick soon began to question Yolande’s behaviour towards the Pastor prior to the attack, though brave Yolande gave an empowering speech as she explained that she hadn’t been to blame for what had happened to her.

Once it was clear that Patrick understood, Yolande expressed her concerns that she may not be able to be intimate with him again, and worried how that would affect their relationship.

However, Patrick promised her that she was the only woman for him, and whether they were intimate or not had no bearing on his love for her.

He even went as far as to insist that he would even turn down Halle Berry for Yolande – high praise indeed.

Determined to help Yolande through her ordeal, Patrick even suggested that they move away from Albert Square, though Yolande insisted that Walford was their home.

She went on to reveal that, although she didn’t want to go to the police about her ordeal, she felt that she needed to speak out against the Pastor, and explained her plan to speak to someone at the church.

Will Pastor Clayton be brought to justice?
