Eastenders Spoilers 6th - 10th May
Monday
Pastor Gideon Clayton spins a WICKED LIE about Yolande Trueman to protect his dark secret
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?
Elsewhere, Honey Mitchell wants Billy Mitchell to give his estranged dad, Stevie Mitchell a chance to make amends.
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?
Also, George Knight is heartbroken to discover his mum Gloria's funeral has already taken place.
The landlord was banned from attending by dad Eddie, who refused to give him any details about the service.
Reeling from the news, George needs to find an outlet for his pain and contacts Rufus to arrange another illegal boxing match.
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.
Tuesday
The red mist descends over Patrick Yolande when he discovers the truth about Pastor Gideon Clayton's sexual assault on Yolande
Yolande's life has been shattered since the Pastor - a man she thought she trusted - touched her inappropriately during her charity fundraiser at the community centre.
The attack has led Yolande to have a crisis of faith, but she's found herself unable to tell her loved ones, including partner Patrick, the truth.
Serial predator Gideon has been very careful in covering his tracks.
He's gaslighted Yolande and subjected her to intimidation - even going as far as implying to Patrick that she's unwell.
Having learnt that Gideon is making dangerous accusations about the state of her mental wellbeing, Yolande is determined to expose him for the monster he is.
As Elaine Peacock - the only person who knows about her ordeal - rings to check in on her, Yolande asks if she'll speak to Patrick on her behalf...
Over the phone, Elaine gently explains what?s happened to Yolande as Patrick listens on in devastation and horror.
Afterwards, Patrick tries to reach out to Yolande, but she's too distressed to talk and rushes off, locking herself in the bathroom.
As the reality of what Yolande endured sinks in, Patrick is consumed by rage and storms out to find Pastor Clayton.
Tearful Yolande rushes after him and is able to stop him doing something he might end up regretting.
Once back in the privacy of their own home, the couple discuss everything Yolande has been through.
And with Patrick's support, Yolande bravely agrees to report Pastor Clayton to the church officials.
Wednesday
George Knight receives a devastating health diagnosis
It's Gloria Knight's memorial at The Vic, but George is nursing some pretty nasty injuries from his illegal boxing match the previous night.
The landlord has started brawling in an underground fight club as a way of channelling his grief over Gloria's death, and has kept his perilous pastime hidden from his fianc?e Elaine Peacock and daughters Gina and Anna.
As the memorial gets underway, George's girls are disappointed when their estranged half-brother Junior fails to show up for the occasion, seemingly ignoring Anna's invite to join them.
And things go from bad to worse when George suffers a sudden dizzy spell and almost collapses.
Cindy Beale and Phil Mitchell - who know about George's bare-knuckle fights - witness his funny turn and insist at once he goes and get checked out at the hospital.
Arriving at Walford General, George is given a CAT scan and is told he's got a brain injury linked to repeated blows to the head.
The doctor then issues him a stark warning, explaining one more knock to his head could prove fatal.
As George reels, Elaine and the girls are horrified to hear he's been fighting, and worse - Cindy hid the truth from them.
The family return to the Square determined to get George back to full health.
But it seems old habits die hard as Cindy witnesses George being approached by boxing promotor Rufus - who tempts him with last night's winnings and the offer of another brawl.
Will he risk his life by stepping into the ring again?
Across the Square, Patrick Trueman wants to accompany Yolande to report Pastor Clayton to the church officials.
But his brave partner is determined to face it alone.
Yolande meets with Levi and tells him about Pastor Clayton sexually assaulting her.
After listening to Yolande, Levi commends her bravery and pledges to start investigating her complaint immediately.
Elsewhere, Billy Mitchell is still refusing to listen to Honey's pleas and allow their children to see his estranged dad Stevie Mitchell.
Finding his son Will talking to his grandad in the cafe, Billy loses his temper and almost lays a punch on his son.
Honey is forced to hold Billy back, but his violent outburst leaves him fearing he's turning into the same kind of man as his father.
Meanwhile, Phil Mitchell isn't buying Stevie's reformed character act and tells Billy he needs to keep the pensioner close to find out what he's really after.
Also, Denzel Danes is buzzing after arranging a training session with an influencer called Ebony.
The impressionable teen is heading down a dangerous path in the pursuit of the perfect body - and has already succumbed to taking anabolic steroids.
Will Ebony's influence only fuel Denzel's obsession?
Thursday
Cindy Beale issues ex-husband George Knight with a stinging ultimatum
Tensions remain high in The Vic as Gina and Anna Knight refuse to forgive Cindy for not telling them about George fighting at an underground boxing club.
Fearing she's at risk of losing her girls all over again, Cindy manages to persuade Gina and Anna to meet her for lunch, where she grovels for forgiveness and promises to convince George not to box again.
Staying true to her word, Cindy approaches George with the suggestion of online therapy to help channel his emotions. He initially dismisses the idea, but Cindy's powers of persuasion are strong and George eventually agrees.
Unfortunately Cindy isn't so successful in convincing George to keep out of the ring.
With everyone out of earshot, George makes a call to Rufus to arrange another fight.
The landlord comes clean about his plan to Cindy, who can't believe he'd be so foolish given the doctors warning that one more blow to the head could kill him.
Refusing to allow the man she loves to kill himself, Cindy gets tough with George and issues him with an ultimatum that could have serious repercussions.
Will he be forced to give in?
Elsewhere, it's been a day since Yolande Trueman told Levi that Pastor Clayton sexually assaulted her.
But Patrick Trueman is appalled to learn it will be another week before the trainee pastor meets with his superiors to discuss Yolande's very serious complaint.
Frustrated by the lack of progress, Patrick collars Levi in the cafe and warns he'll be forced to take matters into his own hands unless he hurries things up.
With his anger building, Patrick is tipped over the edge when he sees Pastor Clayton posturing at the Community Centre.
He confronts his partner's tormentor before Yolande suddenly arrives and pleads with Patrick not to go any further.
Meanwhile, Billy Mitchell decides to go against his better judgement and meet estranged dad Stevie Mitchell for a drink.
Stevie's arrival in Walford has reopened painful old wounds for Billy - who was placed into foster care by his abusive father when he was just 10-years-old.
The OAP has insisted he's a changed character and wants the chance to build bridges, but Phil Mitchell is convinced he's got an ulterior motive.
Confronting his dad in the pub, Billy demands to know what he's playing at.
Stevie plays the victim and insists he's just a lonely old man who wants to get to know his family.
Later on, Honey, Will and Janet arrive home to discover Billy has invited Stevie over. Is he there to stay?
Also, Amy Mitchell is less than pleased to hear about boyfriend Denzel Danes' collaboration with fitness influencer, Ebony.
The teens' relationship is already under strain due to Denzel's obsession with attaining the perfect gym bod.
Will his partnership with Ebony cause even more problems?
