Just wanted to share with you this recent article by Peri Bradley that looks critically at the representation of gay relationships in EastEnders (possibly the first academic study on this subject, clearly inspired by Chryed).

Peri Bradley; 'Romancing the Soap: Representations of Gay Love and Relationships in EastEnders', (eds) Pamela Demory and Christopher Pullen; Queer Love in Film and Television: Critical Essays. Palgrave MacMillan, 2013, pp. 33-44

Link doesn't work I'm afraid . But it might be my phone

Anyway shouldn't academics like this author be working on something more productive, relevant and beneficial to society ?

Seems like a waste of time and effort for a fictional TV soap .

Link worked fine for me,but I had to translate it from Dutch.
I read the conclusion/sum up part at the end. Sounds about right.
