Pastor Gideon Clayton spins a WICKED LIE about Yolande Trueman to protect his dark secret in Monday's episode of EastEnders at 7.30pm (see our TV Guide for full listings).

Yolande's world has completely crumbled after suffering a horrific sexual assault at the hands of the pastor. The attack has led her to question her faith and display very out-of-character behaviour.

Yolande's partner, Patrick Trueman, is worried sick about her, but can't get to the bottom of what's ailing her. 

A conversation with Sonia Fowler only adds to his worry when she lets slip Yolande missed a medical appointment he knew nothing about.

Meanwhile, Denise Fox is concerned when Yolande fails to show up for the launch of the food van she worked so hard to organise.

Taking Denise's advice, Patrick goes to Pastor Clayton for help and confides in him about Yolande's fragile state.

But in a shocking move to conceal his own guilt, the cunning cleric implies that Yolande could be sick.

Later, Patrick tells Yolande about Pastor Clayton's 'concerns' for her wellbeing - leaving her raging at his manipulation.

Will this give her the courage to out his heinous crime?

But her words fall on deaf ears when Billy angrily declares Stevie isn't allowed anywhere near his family.

Later in the cafe, Stevie bumps into Will and Janet Mitchell and Lexi Pearce and tries to get to know his grandkids better.

When Billy finds out about the lunch he's livid and warns Stevie in no uncertain terms to back off!

Despite all of this Honey remains adamant the kids have a right to get to know their grandad. Can she get Billy to change his mind?

Unware of what their father is up to, Gina and Anna Knight decide to hold a memorial in The Vic to celebrate Gloria's wife - and Anna leaves a message for their half-brother, Junior, asking him to join them.
