The cast of Eastenders has had its fair share of LGBT characters, but this year Walford is set to up it’s inclusion game with the introduction of a gay bar for it’s LGBT characters.
we could also see the list of LGBT characters growing this too year, as senior executive director Kate Oats has said “I’m really interested in bringing some more LGBTQ characters in.” she also went on to explain “We’re looking at opening a gay bar on the square which will be a super cool precinct where gay and straight characters can all just hang out.”
While the move would be surely be welcomed by the cast, it also it would be a way of portraying an authentic reflection of a modern and multicultural London as it is today.
