I hope not. I kinda like Danny as a bisexual love cheat that will just get with anything with a pulse!

Hopefully not, Chyred was boring as hell.
Jake is said to be a womaniser anyway.

I'd like it known that I predicted this thread days ago

Terrible idea, Chryed was a huge failure for me. It was interesting for the first few months, but then it just dragged on and on.

I see Danny being heavily involved with Janine, which should make for excellent viewing. We don't know a whole lot about Jake so I'll reserve judgement on him for now.

Oh dear...haven't you learned by now EE is unable to write for a gay character that isn't about his sexuality once they get bored they're pushed into extras-ville for months on end before they walk or get the axe....I can only hope this poor cliche doesn't befall Danny but at least his played by a decent actor so he may have half a chance.

I hope not, they can't just turn people gay for the sake of a storyline,
Gay storylines are mostly boring, but if they do it like Ste and Brenden from HO then i'm game!

If they can get right in Hollyoaks then why not in EE? Oh I forgot the writers are crap and so is the EP.

Chryed's story was huge but in the end they were left on the sidelines...

This show really has become the Branning show!

Different channel, different viewer range, more freedom, rotation of writers.

HO haven't always got it right but they have created some great storylines for gay characters, JP and Craig one of the best storyline they've ever done, Ste and Brenden wasn't my thing but Brenden had a lot of impact on that show in 3 years he was on it.

They have one coming up atm with George and Vincent.

EE normally focus on a few different cliched soap formulas in their pool of characters its just too much effort to think outside of the box.

Some of us found the conflict between strict religion and sexuality compelling. One of the best storylines EE ever produced.

But this is the wrong team to do any gay storylines on EE. They would turn any gay character bi and give him a baby within weeks.

Yeah I like this idea for the character as well. Makes him far more interesting and original.

Forget your obvious agenda and actually read my post. EastEnders has had loads of gay characters but hardly any bisexual or lesbian ones. With Danny, they have an opportunity to create an interesting and complex character.

To be honest, I think your post is quite embarrassing for you, I have nothing against gay characters and I don't really care what is or isn't "acceptable to viewers". What I do care about is gritty, realistic and well written drama. Not boring recycled storylines, so next time, don't put words in my mouth thanks.

They had the writers and EP from HO last time with kirkwood in charge, he did absolutely nothing with Chyred.

Yes, Danny played by Gary Lucy, previously had a guest role will come on full time in July or August and Jake will be played by Jamie Lomas comes in this summer.

It hasnt actually been said if he was or wasn't gay, we just assumed he was gay and not bi,
Bi is better than being just gay, if they run out of storylines for him, he wont be a 1D character!

I don't find this potential storyline with a womaniser boring. I found Chryed boring. They became stale. :yawn::sleep:

I think he would make an excellent partner for Janine, much more interesting than Michael. He'd probably end up with her money!

Me too. I'd like him to be bisexual and a cheat.
