Victor Duke, played by Ben Thomas, is the husband of Yolande Duke (Angela Wynter), who arrives in Walford when his wife has run away to live with Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker). He offers Patrick £10,000 to leave Yolande, then tells Yolande that Patrick asked for money to finish with her, and when she sees Patrick with the money Victor tried to tempt him with, she takes the money and leaves, saying she does not want to be with either of them. After Victor returns to Trinidad, Yolande returns to Walford with the money, to share it with Patrick. Yolande later divorces Victor.

Famous quotes containing the words victor and/or duke:
“The Poor Man whom everyone speaks of, the Poor Man whom everyone pities, one of the repulsive Poor from whom “charitable” souls keep their distance, he has still said nothing. Or, rather, he has spoken through the voice of Victor Hugo, Zola, Richepin. At least, they said so. And these shameful impostures fed their authors. Cruel irony, the Poor Man tormented with hunger feeds those who plead his case.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“We have in the service the scum of the earth as common soldiers.”
—Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke Wellington (1769–1852)
