Actress Angela Wynter is returning to EastEnders<\/a> as Patrick\u2019s ex-wife Yolande Trueman<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was first reported by The Sun<\/a> that Wynter will make her on-screen return to the BBC One soap later this summer and now RadioTimes.com<\/a> also understands this to be true.<\/p>\n

Fans will see Rudolph Walker return to our screens as Patrick Trueman in the coming weeks after having left Walford earlier this year to attempt to reconcile with his ex-wife Yolande Trueman<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now actress Angela Wynter has said: \u201cI have been really looking forward to playing her again and have had a beautiful time on set so far. I can\u2019t thank the cast and crew enough for the warm welcome back.\u201d<\/p>

Executive producer Chris Clenshaw added: \u201cI\u2019m thrilled to welcome the immensely talented Angela back to the role of Yolande Trueman. Although we haven\u2019t seen Yolande for some years, her departure from the Square and the breakdown of her marriage to Walford\u2019s living legend, Patrick, left some unfinished business between the pair.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe, therefore, thought it was important to explore a reunion between the two. We couldn\u2019t be more thrilled to have her back!\u201d<\/p>\n

A source had previously told The Sun: \u201cThis will be a huge thrill for EastEnders fans as she is considered something of a favourite among devotees.\u201d<\/p>\n

They added: \u201cShe\u2019s just one of several characters making a return to Albert Square and though she might not be as high profile as Ian and Cindy, she will certainly get just as rapturous a reception from veteran viewers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yolande Duke first arrived in EastEnders in 2003 after striking up a romance with Patrick in Trinidad, later marrying him in 2003.<\/p>\n

The character worked in the Minute Mart and her most explosive story saw her feuding with Pat Evans (Pam St. Clement) when the latter had a fling with married Patrick.<\/p>\n
