Yolande Trueman will receive important news about her criminal
case against Pastor Clayton in upcoming EastEnders scenes.
With help from church elder Levi, Yolande recently made contact with a
woman called Delia who accused the pastor of sexual assault in 2016.
While police declined to press charges for both women originally,
Yolande and Delia hoped that they would reconsider if they came forward together.
Yolande’s story will crossover with another issue-based plot next week,
as she tries to help Denzel Danes with his body image issues.
