Angela Wynter to guest in 'Doctors'
Former EastEnders actress Angela Wynter will make a guest appearance in Doctors at the beginning of next month.

The 55-year-old - who played Walford shopkeeper Yolande Trueman until she was written out of the BBC soap in October - will take on the role of Doreen Webster, an aggrieved owner of a hamburger stall.

Doreen's infuriated when her ex-husband Clifford Webster (Victor Romero Evans) locates his smoothie stall opposite her business. When Clifford visits old family friend Michelle (Donnaleigh Bailey) at the surgery for a checkup, she's shocked by the news of their divorce.

Michelle pays Doreen a visit and it's soon revealed that Clifford's gambling problem reigned supreme in their marriage. Clifford saves the day, though, when two teenagers attempt to steal from her.

The episode, titled 'A Bit of a Pickle', will air on Friday, August 7 at 1.45pm on BBC One.

Wynter was axed from EastEnders when the show's bosses decided not to renew her contract due to a lack of storylines for her character.

Yolande was last seen leaving her husband Patrick (Rudolph Walker) at Walford's tube station as she left for a new life in Birmingham.
