EastEnders confirms major character is returning to Walford for 'unfinished business'

Ex-EastEnders star Angela Wynter will be returning to the BBC One show for Patrick Trueman's homecoming.

Angela will be reprising her role as Patrick's former wife Yolande Trueman this summer, after previously starring in the soap as a regular between 2003 and 2008. Patrick (Rudolph Walker) is set to reappear in Albert Square next week, following his temporary exit in March in hopes of finding Yolande and rekindling their romance.

Taking to social media on Friday, June 30, EastEnders confirmed Yolande's return as the show's executive producer also said he was 'thrilled' at the character's comeback.

Patrick and Yolande Trueman during happier times

Sharing a photo of Patrick and Yolande reunited, EastEnders wrote: "It’s been almost six years since she last stepped foot in Albert Square but Yolande Trueman is on her way back to Walford, as Angela Wynter has reprised her role.

"Yolande’s character remains connected to Walford having first landed on our screens in 2003 as Patrick’s love interest before later becoming his wife. Over her five years in Albert Square, Yolande quickly cemented herself as a fan favourite but her time in Walford, and her marriage to Patrick, was not smooth having feuded with Pat Evans once it was revealed that she and Patrick had an affair.

"However, it was a job offer she couldn’t refuse that led to Yolande leaving but, Patrick changed his mind at the last minute, choosing Albert Square over his wife and the pair later divorced in 2009.

"Having briefly reprised her role in 2017, Yolande is heading back to Walford to reunite with ex-husband Patrick who went searching for her at the start of the year, but viewers will have to wait and see if it’s a happily ever after for the couple…"

On returning to EastEnders, Angela Wynter said: “Yolande is back in The Square! I have been really looking forward to playing her again and have had a beautiful time on set so far. I can’t thank the cast and crew enough for the warm welcome back!”

Chris Clenshaw, Executive Producer added: “I’m thrilled to welcome the immensely talented Angela back to the role of Yolande Trueman. Although we haven’t seen Yolande for some years, her departure from The Square and the breakdown of her marriage to Walford’s living legend, Patrick, left some unfinished business between the pair."

He added: "We, therefore, thought it was important to explore a reunion between the two. We couldn’t be more thrilled to have her back!”

The father of a bullied North London schoolgirl said he is a 'victim of a failing system' following her suicide. Mia Janin, 14, took her own life after receiving a torrent of horrendous messages on social media. The Year 10 pupil at the Jewish Free School (JFS) in Kenton in Harrow, North West London was found dead at her family home in Barnet on March 12, 2021. At an inquest into her death, North London area coroner Tony Murphy concluded that Mia, 14, 'took her life while still a child and while still in the process of maturing into adulthood', at Barnet Coroner's Court on Friday. Mia's father, Mariano Janin, paid tribute to his daughter, saying: "She was fantastic, she was very bubbly, good sense of humour, she was beautiful, she was very kind, very creative." Mr Murphy, whose wife Marisa has since died as well, said Mia was last seen alive at about 10pm on March 11 2021, when she said good night to her parents in their family home. READ MORE...

Furious Sutton SEND parents slam 'disrespect' from council and announce end to 10-year partnership

A forum made up of parents and carers of children with special educational needs and disabilities has cut ties with Sutton Council, accusing the authority of a lack of trust and not working effectively with them. Sutton’s Parents and Carer Forum (SPCF), which has advised the council and helped shape SEND policy for around 10 years, cites ‘disrespect’ shown to them by Sutton Council as one of their reasons for deciding to cease contact with them as of March 3 this year. This decision could leave Sutton Council able to make SEND related decisions without any oversight or input from the parents they impact, however the council says it's looking into finding a new independent group to fill the void. SPCF is an Ofsted and Department for Education recognised body that has represented the borough’s SEND families for the last decade. According to their post, published on X last Friday: “The role of the parent carers on the Steering Group is to lead this work and listen to the views and...
