Shock EastEnders comeback as fan favourite returns to chaos in Walford

DENISE and Kim Fox are trying to hold things together after all hell broke loose for the pair of them.

And when an EastEnders favourite makes his way back to the Square, they have no choice but to fill him in on all the chaos.

Patrick Trueman (portrayed by Rudolph Walker) left Walford earlier this year in the pursuit of love as he was determined to give romance another shot with former wife Yolande.

But in doing so, the beloved character has missed out on most of the Square drama in Denise and Kim Fox’s lives.

While the former sabotaged her own marriage with Jack Branning, the latter crashed her brand new car into the Argee Bhajee when she found out about her sibling’s affair.

Denise’s (Diane Parish) marriage is hanging by a thread as she tries to prove to Jack (Scott Maslen) that he can trust her again and Kim (Tameka Empson) is dealing with debilitating panic attacks.

But how will Patrick react to all the news?

Coming up next week on BBC One, the character returns home and he’s shocked that nobody kept him posted about the events he’d been absent for.

However, when Denise asks him for some details of his own about his time with Yolande, Patrick is just as evasive.

Upon hearing that Jack and Denise are in dire straits, Patrick offers counsel to the distraught husband.

In later scenes, he advises Jack to show Denise how much he loves her – but will he actually listen to Patrick?

As Denise fields Howie Danes’ (Delroy Atkinson) questions about Kim, Patrick worries she’s going to burn out as she tries to look after two families.

However, the hairstylist gets a surprise when Jack arrives at Fox and Hair with a picnic lunch and bottle of prosecco.

It appears Jack will be taking Patrick’s advice into account as he forces Denise to take a much-needed break.

Denise is touched by his efforts, but are they finally on the right track?

EastEnders airs from Monday to Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One.
