Yolande Trueman (played by Angela Wynter) has gotten herself into a dodgy love triangle with Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker) and Anton (Cavin Cornwall) – and the drama is only just getting started.

While Yolande and Patrick have been rekindling their sweet romance, her ex isn’t far away – and won’t be happy to discover she’s back with her former lover.

Avoiding phone calls and doing her best to not let on to Patrick that something’s going on, it soon becomes clear that Yolande’s hiding a big secret which all spills out when Anton unexpectedly arrives in Walford.

A fight breaks out between Patrick and Anton, leaving Yolande firmly at her wit’s end.

But the drama doesn’t end there, as Anton heads round to see her after the clash to tell her he’s still firmly in love with her and wants to get back together, despite all her antics with Patrick.

After offering her an ultimatum, what will she decide?

While Yolande deliberates over which man to choose, we’ve got the low-down on the mysterious Anton and the Star Wars actor who plays him!
