SHOCKING NEWS!!! EastEnders fans ‘blown away’ by star’s ‘heartbreaking’ performance

Yolande Truman’s (Angela Wynter) devastating abuse by Pastor Clayton (Howard Saddler) has stuck a

chord with EastEnders fans, who have poured praise onto the actress.

Yolande suffered a terrifying ordeal when she was sexually assaulted by Pastor Clayton, and recent

episodes have seen her open up to her family about what she went through.

Unfortunately, her hopes of bringing the Pastor to justice were dashed when she was hit with the devastating news that there wasn’t enough evidence to charge him.

However, an unexpected visit from Levi (Mark Akintimehin) brings hope that Pastor Clayton might get his comeuppance if his victims fight back.

The latest developments in the storyline have roused EastEnders viewers, and many have been quick to shower actress Angela Wynter with praise for her portrayal of Yolande.

On X (formerly Twitter), @RyanTheSoapKing said: ‘We are so privileged to have Angela Wynter in our Cast. Yolande’s scenes tonight were so heartbreaking and emotional to watch’.

@musicalykayfabe agreed, saying that ‘Angela is amazing’ and ‘brilliant’, adding that they ‘really feel for Yolande’.

Many fans have also praised Angela’s scenes with Rudolph Walker, who plays Yolande’s husband Patrick Trueman.

@Imwolfie said: ‘I absolutely love Yolande and Patrick’s relationship, the acting with the [sexual assault] storyline is absolutely incredible’.

Viewers have been so impressed, in fact, that several have called for Angela to win an award.

@helsby2022 took a strong stance, writing: ‘Phenomenal acting from Angela, if she doesn’t win best actress at the soap awards then eastenders needs to be boycotted’.

Meanwhile, on Reddit, Lnwildeagle85 shared, ‘Angela Wynter (Yolande) has blown me away over the last month or so, showing just how brilliant she is.’

They added: ‘Once the Inside Soap Awards nominations are released next month, Angela will get my vote as Best Actress and I hope Angela Wynter & Rudolph Walker (Patrick) will be nominated for Best Partnership and Single Episode.’

User Content-Sun2422 agreed, writing: ‘She is an amazing actor – I love her scenes with Patrick. She deserves all the accolades. And the storyline is an important one, and they seem to be taking the time to do it right.’

And they’re not the only fan invested in Yolande’s storyline, as many viewers have shared their own feelings about the latest developments.

X user @WootiniGG said: ‘I’m torn between wanting Yolande to find Pastor Clayton’s other victims so they can all confront him together and someone just killing him to put us all out of our misery.’

@mattFarris added: ‘Glad to see the family support Yolande. Pastor Turtleneck better watch his back or Patrick is going to throw down!’

Could Pastor Clayton be brought to justice once and for all?
