Patrick’s EastEnders wedding in jeopardy as deeply worried Yolande issues a serious warning

Yolande Trueman (Angela Wynter) has launched a furious rant at fiancé Patrick (Rudolph Walker) in EastEnders.

The couple were engaged last month and have set the date for their wedding – September 1st.

It comes after a particularly traumatic year, following church-leader Pastor Clayton (Howard Saddler) sexually assaulting Yolande in a store room at the community centre.Yolande and Patrick have a tense conversation in the pub in EastEnders

She bravely spoke up about her ordeal to friend Elaine Knight (Harriet Thorpe), and then found the courage to report his crime to the police.

Unfortunately, due to a lack of evidence, there was little that they could do.

However, soon after, a second survivor of his abuse came forward, with the CPS charging him with two counts of sexual assault. Before he could face justice, Clayton took his own life.

Patrick and Yolande struggled with intimacy in the wake of a horrific incident, with him later admitting that he didn’t want her to draw any comparisons to her abuser.

After some words of wisdom from Denise Fox (Diane Parish), the pair reconciled and Patrick popped the question.

In tonight’s episode, Yolande began to prepare invitations for the celebration, and was eyeing up tiaras and dresses in a flashy magazine.

Patrick noticed the whopping price tag attached, but promised his love that he would ensure she had the wedding of her dreams.

However, shortly afterwards, Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth) warned Yolande that she’d seen Patrick placing bets on the horse racing in order to afford the day.

While she initially dismissed the concerns, she later headed to the pub and saw her husband-to-be browsing the sports section of the news paper with Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman).

She told him that she didn’t want him falling into a gambling addiction, and if she found out that he was splashing the cash again, she’d call the wedding off.
