EE: New gay character

Post by faceless »

New gay character joins EastEnders

Jane Beale's (Laurie Brett) brother really is on his way to Albert Square. The New Year will herald the arrival of Christian, played by newcomer John Partridge, who comes back into his sister's life after he invites her to attend his civil partnership.

Partridge said: "I'm delighted to be joining EastEnders and playing Christian. I think he's going to upset the apple cart at the Beales'."

-------------------

sorry about the crap pic, but it's all I could find of him in a quick search. And I'm sure there will be a big 'awww, he's gay' from the laydeees... haha

Upset the apple cart at the Beale's? Christ, I didn't realize they had a cart left to be upset.

Eastenders was missing their gay in the village for way too long. Now they are PC balanced. Yay! LOL!

I hope they don't turn him into the "token gay" of the square. I am looking forward though to learning a little more about Jane's family.

I am looking forward to his arrival and getting more background on Jane, I also think it would be great if Steven ends up having a crush on Jane's brother, oh what a fun twist that would be.

Glad you posted this as I couldn't read what the invitation said. It was odd she threw it out, but Ian will make her pay someway.

"Jane Beale's (Laurie Brett) brother really is on his way to Albert Square"
With people saying:
"So that's what that invitation was, addressed to "Lesley & Ian Beale" that Jane threw in the bin yesterday"
Pardon my ignorance... but does Jane = Lesley????
I am certainly not able to assertain from this thread who the fuck Lesley is nor what Jane's bro being gay & an envelope being trashed is all about...

Somebody enlighten me please.

Jane's real name is Lesley. She started going by Jane when she left school because of being teased and wanted to start her life over, including changing her name. I believe Jane was her middle name.

Jane (Lesley) received an invite from her gay brother to his commitment ceremony. She doesn't get along with him and didn't want to go. Ian was worried that if people find out that they didn't go they would be saying it's because they are against gays. So he is insisting that they go.

I enjoyed seeing Jane's brother tonight. He looks quite an interesting shit stirrer. I'm looking forward to seeing more of him.
