Paul Trueman is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders played by Gary Beadle between 2001 and 2004. Gary was introduced as part of the already established Trueman family. He was portrayed as a bad boy. Beadle left the role in 2004. In his exit storyline Paul became a drug dealer and Beadle has been critical of the storyline suggesting it played into black racial stereotyping. It was implied that Paul was killed upon his exit though his death was not screened.
