Is Patrick leaving EastEnders as soap legend is left to die?
Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker) has been left for dead.
He was on cloud nine after placing a winning bet – scooping up £6,000 with thanks to Howie Danes (Delroy Atkinson) making the punt for him.
As viewers will remember, fiancé Yolande (Angela Wynter) told Patrick that their upcoming wedding would be off if she caught him at the bookies again.
He stood outside flashing the cash to her, hoping she'd be impressed, but got quite the negative reception and went to drown her sorrows at the pub.
A gloomy Patrick then returned home, unaware of the horrors that would await him…
Patrick was horrified to spot a masked intruder holding his cash. He slammed the living room door closed and prepared to stage an intervention when the robber launched towards him.
During the scuffle, Patrick's head hit the floor and he was knocked unconscious.
The burglar? None other than foolish Oscar Branning (Pierre Moullier), who desperately needed the money to pay off his thuggish associate Fat Mike (Tai Hilferink).
Mike had threatened the Branning clan's safety, and despite Oscar's efforts to form a business deal with Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt), made the decision to target Patrick.
Little did he realise, sister Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) had already secured the funds with thanks to the kindness of her boss Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick).
But what about Patrick? Will he survive?
Luckily, it seems Patrick survives the ordeal. As the week goes on we'll see his concerned family keep vigil at the hospital, as the police up their efforts to track down his attacker.

With Patrick and Yolande's wedding scheduled for 1st September, it seems that they will eventually walk down the aisle. It's likely that she'll change her stance on his betting after today's assault.
We also know that Patrick's beloved son Anthony (Nicholas Bailey) is set to return, with the two actors pictured on set.
The former Walford doctor was last seen a little over a decade ago when he staged a short return for one episode following Patrick's stroke. More Trending
We know he's back in town for the nuptials, however, also comes at a significant moment for Patrick and it means that his stay is longer than he intended.
EastEnders Executive Producer Ben Wadey added: 'It's great to welcome Nicholas back to the EastEnders family to reunite Patrick with his son.
'But Anthony's plan for a brief return to surprise his father ends up with him staying longer than he expected when he uncovers what has been going on in the Trueman household.'

Coronation Street hits back in soap pub wars as they sign up hunky Hollywood star as new landlord
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WHEN EastEnders legends Kat and Alfie Moon were reinstated as bosses of the Queen Vic, Coronation Street bosses could easily have felt wrong-footed. Instead, in an epic battle of the soap bars, they've hit back by putting new management in place at the Rovers Return in the form of Cath Tyldesley and a very sexy new landlord. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Corrie bosses have signed up Aaron McCusker in a soap pub wars style fightback against EastEnders Credit: Channel 4 4 The star played Freddie Mercury's boyfriend in Bohemian Rhapsody Credit: Alamy 4 Aaron will be teaming up with Catherine Tyldesley to front the Rovers Credit: Rex Features She'll be appearing behind the bar of the Weatherfiled pub with none other than Aaaron McCusker, 46, who's joining the Corrie cast as the new husband of Eva Price. Cath's character left the ITV show seven years ago, and is making a spectacular return to the cobbles this week to make scenes that will be shown this autumn. By her side will be Aaaron who starred opposite Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury's boyfriend, Jim Hutton, in the film Bohemian Rhapsody. He also played Jamie Maguire in Channel 4's Shameless. A TV insider said: "Corrie bosses were never going to take EastEnders shrewd decision to reinstate Kat and Alfie at the Vic lying down. "So they took their time looking for the perfect actor to play her husband to Eva as she makes her return to Corrie as the new boss of the Rovers. "When Aaron walked in, and once paired with Catherine, bosses knew they had the perfect partnership to run the soap's iconic pub. "Aaron will bring his Irish charm to the pub, and the chemistry between him and Cath is electric. They are both very happy and loved-up. Kat Moon takes over the Queen Vic: A new era in EastEnders 4 Kat and Alfie have taken over the Queen Vic in EastEnders Credit: BBC But Aaron's character is also someone not to be messed with, and the locals are going to be in for a shock if they think they can take advantage of his good nature and that cheeky Irish charm. It's the start of an exciting new chapter in the pub's history.'
