EastEnders’ Anthony’s New Start And Old Guilt
Anthony’s first scenes show him with his father. He and Patrick have a reunion. Things are not simple, though. Bailey hinted that Anthony feels out of place. He noticed how much the family had changed. He kept in touch with Patrick and still feels like an outsider. Anthony carries this heavy guilt. He was not there after Patrick’s stroke.
That guilt comes rushing back fast. Anthony discovers Patrick was attacked. No one bothered to tell him. He is furious; he wants to protect his dad. He vows to step up as the son. Anthony will get answers from everyone. He has to know what happened to his dad.
Trouble With Oscar And A Family Divided
Oscar finally admits he was behind the attack. For Anthony, the news is a shock. One moment, he fears his father is having another stroke. Next, he’s trying to help him. But once Patrick is safe, Anthony’s anger turns on Oscar. He wants justice. He won’t let it go.
The bigger problem is what comes next. Anthony expects his family to support him. Instead, he finds resistance. Some relatives do not want to involve the police. Oscar needs to face the consequences.
This divide creates new tension. The Trueman household is not united. Anthony feels his voice isn’t being heard. Others think he is too rigid. They believe he is out of touch. This is the first real sign that his return will cause trouble. It could open new rifts. This might make him question if he belongs in Walford at all.
Bailey said his return has been emotional. He was happy to work with Rudolph Walker again and reflected on their first scenes decades ago and called his co-star a “legend.” He said it feels like no time has passed. New fights are rising.
