EastEnders confirm exit for evil character and fans praise dramatic 'duff duff' ending

ok.co.uk:

EastEnders fans rejoined during a recent episode as Pastor Clayton was finally arrested for his assault on Yolande Trueman (played by Angela Wynter).The incident happened in April when Yolande was stressed out in the run-up to the fundraiser and she had been trying to avoid the pastor as members of the church began spreading gossip about the pair spending time together.

But when she was alone in the kitchen later on, Yolande was joined by the pastor, who ominously locked the door, trapping her in with him.The assault on her was shown off screen, but viewers came back to see Yolande completely distraught and in tears.

In a later episode, Yolande opened up to Elaine Peacock about the incident. And in the second half of an hour-long special, it was revealed that Pastor Clayton had a history of abusing women.

During the Thursday 20 June episode, Yolande’s family were frantic as she went missing. Patrick went out looking for Yolande and admitted to Denise Fox that he felt like he had ‘failed’ his wife.
