Vaslav, I wouldn't sweat it: that 'article' is completely riddled with rudimentary typing errors, gets several of the actors names wrong, and is attributed to a writer who doesn't work for the publication it appeared in. Also, it was taken from that publication's website, which doesn't exist. Looks like a wind up, thankfully!

that is good, Neighbours have worked very hard with Chris...he is a well rounded, sporty kind of guy who just happens to be gay...to change his character would be foolhardy

Exactly. I find it hard to believe that they'll work that hard to try and get him accepted by the general public, take the praise that the LGBT groups have heaped on them, and then change him to straight. It doesn't make sense. It would bring too much negative criticism on the show.

Remember when Sonia Jackson & the Corkhills became lesbians?

That was quite a long time ago though, and society's attitude and education towards homosexuality and the sexuality sphere itself has changed drastically since then.

It reflects real life. We're not supposed to talk about it but "gay" people often return to the opposite sex in reality.

Reminds me of the "I'm a straight man who sleeps with men" joke that used to get thrown about.
