“I think it’s so important to have gay representation on TV, be that me or anybody else, but I think the show is doing a great job at that currently,” he added. “I reckon Christian is quite happy in Birmingham for now, down the Bullring on a Saturday getting a few bits in.”
The actor, who last played the character in 2016, also spoke of the impact from Christian’s and Syed Masood’s relationship, adding: “I’m contacted on a daily basis by people saying ‘Viva Cryed’ or ‘Cryed Forever’.
“It’s a story that helped young people - and older people too. I never had any reaction to it that was remotely twisted. From 80-year-old nans to white van men, it was all: ‘Go Christian.’ And I know it’s not like that for lots of people on EastEnders.”
EastEnders airs on Mondays - Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer.
