I'm really hoping Anthony Trueman
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.

Realistically it wouldn't be that easy for Anthony to return to care for his father. He's got a responsible job and I think (IIRC) a wife and children to care for. He can't just throw everything in to come back to London to nurse Patrick long term and stroke recovery is long term. The most believable thing would be for Anthony to take Patrick to live with him and his family which I think he has offered before but Patrick said no and probably will do again if Anthony offers as they want to keep him in the show.
I loved the Trueman as well and agree killing Paul off was a mistake but don't see Anthony returning for Some reason. |

I would love to see Anthony return to give much needed support to Patrick. I always liked the character and I also thought (I know I'm in the minority here) that he and Kat made a much better couple than Kat and Alfie.

I didn't think there ever was chemistry between him and Kat; he tried to make her act/dress posh. I did like their scenes as friends in 2004 though.

Obviously in Walford, and on this forum, that's seen as a negative thing though. |

Even better. Introduce a new branch of the Trueman family. They are facing extinction!
![]() 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. |

Anthony's wife is called Sophie.
Would rather have 10 teeth pulled than watch another cheating or presumed cheating storyline with Kat and Alfie. |

I can't actually remember did they find Paul's body or is he just missing in action like Jake Moon

Of course he's going to come back. Who else is going to deliver Kat's twins when Alfie's off buying dodgy stock with Terry?!?!
I can see it a mile off! |

I can see it a mile off! We've already had Max at the scan, really don't want to see Anthony at the birth. |

I think seeing him would be nice, I wouldn't be surprised if it'll be a short return like Honey and Rainie.

I think Anthony would make a refreshing change as he is a decent guy who is quite intelligent.

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. 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. |

The body wasn't shown to viewers but Patrick identified him.

So then, I guess Andy Hunter had him shot?

He was clearly recogniseable as Patrick had no trouble identifying him. I imagine he was shot given it was a criminal 'execution'. It's a shame but Paul Trueman is def in the category of ggeat characters that they shouldn't have killed off but they did so there is nothing to be done about it. At least they learnt their lesson with Jake Moon by not showing him be killed on screen or having his body turn up so although it was strongly implied he was going to be killed they did leave enough leeway for a return later on.
