is the next surprise return to Eastenders. Surely his son will return to at least visit if not care for Patrick after his stroke? I always loved the Trueman family unit back in the day, Anthony, Paul and Patrick. I think it was a huge mistake to kill Paul off. Patrick has been in limbo for years now.

I loved the Trueman as well and agree killing Paul off was a mistake but don't see Anthony returning for Some reason.
Was a really bad mistake, he was a great character who still had more potential to give.
Shame the actor fell out with the people in charge mind.
Hear hear
Even better. Introduce a new branch of the Trueman family. They are facing extinction!
I remember him encouraging Kat to better herself as he saw she was actually very bright, and was wasting her time claiming the dole.
Obviously in Walford, and on this forum, that's seen as a negative thing though.
Would be a bit random if some unheard of relations of Patricks suddenly uproot everything and move to Walford just to be closer to him even though they never bothered before
I would like Anthony to return, not only to explore more of his relationship with Patrick but I would like to see how he connects with his surrogate sister Denise, would they get on or would there be conflict? Also imagine the conflicts between Anthony and his wife and Kat and Alfie all living on the square together. It could get quite interesting.
Would rather have 10 teeth pulled than watch another cheating or presumed cheating storyline with Kat and Alfie.
They found the body. Anthony returned for his funeral.
I can see it a mile off!
That sounds awful! They'd have to be really cold hearted to make Alfie miss the twins' birth after everything, especially as he's brought up his cousin's son as his own.
We've already had Max at the scan, really don't want to see Anthony at the birth.
Exactly. Sometimes it is a snobby thing but often when educated people sncourage their partners to 'better' themselves it is purely because tgey see potential, feel that person hasn't had the chance ot a decent education and think they might be happier and more fulfilled if they widen their horizons. But in Soap it is always just considered that they are being nasty and trying to 'change' the person as they're ashamed of them. It was actually the same with Tina when she went out with the Doctor in Corrie a few years ago.
I liked Anthony and Kat as well and whilst she worked better with Alfie last time round I think they've lost the 'magic'.
I don't object in priciple to them reintroducing Anthony with a wife and kids but in all honesty, why would he move his entire brrod form an areea they're settled in re schools and his job to return to London? Really it makes more sense for the elderly, sick parent to move in this situation. Certainly that is what happened with my grandparents. They moved to be closer to us when they needed help due to ill health as my parents couldn't easily leave their jobs.
Was his body shown on screen or was it an off-screen body showing ala Cindy Williams I and Kathy Sullivan?
I don't think the cause of death was ever revealed, but Andy grassed Paul up to the people that had him killed. The last time we saw Paul, he was being driven off in a taxi by Andy's contact and asked the guy to make it quick.
