Yolande Trueman (also Duke) is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera ''EastEnders'', played by Angela Wynter from 16 September 2003 to 3 October 2008. The character made her final appearance in 2008. ==Storylines== Yolande arrives in Albert Square on 16 September 2003, as Patrick Trueman's (Rudolph Walker) holiday romance. They had met during Patrick's visit to his homeland of Trinidad, where the middle-aged couple enjoyed a steamy affair, much the contrary to Yolande's boring marriage to a strict, uptight, and religious Victor (Ben Thomas), whose traditional customs included viewing women as objects to bear and raise children. Before long, Yolande realises that all Patrick wants is a fling, and prepares to leave the United Kingdom, but Patrick persuades her to stay after admitting he has fallen in love with her. Her husband arrives to take Yolande home, and gives a tempted Patrick £10,000 to allow him to do so. After refusing, Yolande catches Patrick with the money in his hand (he was about to return it), and she mistakes the situation, believing that he has accepted this payment, and leaves, taking the money with her. After Victor returns to Trinidad, Yolande returns to Walford, sharing the money with Patrick. They eventually settle down and marry in 2004. They run the bed and breakfast and foster a little girl. They also manage a local convenience store, the Minute Mart, which they buy as an expansion to their little empire. Yolande strikes up a feud with Pat Evans (Pam St. Clement) when she starts to become involved in another Trueman business, Trueman's Motors. Their rivalry increases when Pat begins an affair with Patrick, but their Minute Mart employee Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) catches Pat and Patrick kissing and tells Yolande. This results in a brawl in The Queen Victoria pub. Yolande attempts to play Patrick at his own game. She goes to a nightclub intending to pick up a man and have an affair. She comes onto Kevin Wicks (Phil Daniels), he reciprocates, and the pair arrange to go back to his house for sex. However she has second thoughts and backs out. The next day, she confesses to Patrick that she almost had sex with another man, and, albeit reluctantly, gives Patrick another chance. Soon afterwards, in October 2006, Yolande then has a supposed drunken one-night stand with Aubrey Valentine (Joseph Marcell), one of Patrick's old friends. This results in Patrick throwing her out, but when they call Aubrey's bluff, he admits they did not have sex, and the couple reconcile. In September 2008, Patrick accidentally turns off the chiller cabinet at the Minute Mart and then sells the unchilled food which gives a number of customers including Dot Branning (June Brown) food poisoning. The resulting complaints result in a visit from an inspector from the Minute Mart head office. He is so impressed with Yolande's efforts to clean up the shop that she is subsequently offered a job at the Minute Mart HQ in Birmingham. Yolande accepts with delight and busily prepares for the move, however Patrick is less keen, and when confronted, he indicates that he wants to stay in Walford. On 3 October 2008, Yolande leaves Albert Square for a new life in Birmingham. She surprises everyone at her leaving party by announcing that she is leaving alone. But as Patrick waves her off at the tube station, he tells her that once the house is sold, he would follow her to Birmingham. However Patrick does not reunite with Yolande, and on 19 May 2009 Patrick receives their divorce papers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yolande Trueman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
