| - Patrick Trueman is a Trinidadian and his wife, who has now left him, is Yolande Trueman. He shares his house with Denise Fox and Kim Fox-Hubbard. He used to have a fiancee, Ruth, but she was murdered by Tommy Clifford in the Notting Hill Raids, although Tommy later on felt a lot of grief because of what he had done. Tommy came looking for Patrick to forgive him, which he does shortly before Tommy dies. Patrick became close friends with Jim Branning who helped him win the heart of Yolande with love letters. As a result, Yolande moved to Walford and married Patrick. Paul started to deal drugs for Andy Hunter which ultimately led to his death as he tried to double-cross him... bad move Paul. Patrick was devastated to lose his son and began a vendetta against Andy. For a time, Patrick rented the car-lot and hired Pat to do the bookkeeping. Patrick and Pat began a casual affair, which Yolande discovered and she threatened to leave, but Patrick persuaded her to try to rebuild their marriage. Yolande remained, but her relationship with Patrick was never quite the same, and they spilt. Since Yolande's departure Patrick's taken in 'daughter' Denise, and her (diminished) flock. He's no saint, but Patrick did find the strength to forgive the man who killed his fiancée. He's also been a good friend to Dot and Jim. Since Jim moved into the nursing home, Patrick misses his favourite drinking buddy. But Denise and her sister were always on hand to join him for a swift drink or two - 'yeeah man' snaps fingers . However, Patrick's age caught up with him, and after a nasty fall, he was unable to look after himself. But now he's better and fighting fit once more, and his relationship with fellow hard drinker and loose liver Cora continues to go from strength to strength.
