Janine - maybe.

Joey - perhaps but not likely though.

I am intrigued though.

Finally, it's basically been confirmed that Danny is not gay.

That's at least enough to shut up some of those on here who were adamant Danny was gay despite the fact that there was no confirmation on screen by the man himself!

Plus it will make him a lot more complex. He's obviously the type of man that uses sex to get what he wants so it will be interesting to see how far they go with it.

They couldn't just let him be gay?

What a joke.

To be fair most soaps are lacking a bisexual character anyways and as long as Danny isn't only just sleeping with women and we do see some male partners here and there, it could work well actually.

This is such a kop out from EE bosses making him bisexual.

I know this is not going to make me popular but Newman is just afraid of casting an openly gay character...

Why would she be afraid?

Every other producer has done it. Well, nearly all of them.

Casting a Gay Character aint even a big deal anymore.

Its more of a bigger deal bringing back baby snatcher Ronnie espec after the up roar!

I think if they can do it properly, not just showing one side and just hinting at the other, then this could be great. However that's a massive if, but I'm hoping for the best as there isn't enough bisexual characters on tv, and even less that are well portrayed.

We've only seen him with one man, Syed, this only tells us that he's attracted to men not that he's only attracted to men, so it's not like they're rewriting anything by making him bisexual.

Finally something DIFFERENT in a character. Gay characters have been done to death and seem to be quite clichéd.

Calm down Vaslav. It's not like they've made him straight. I'm sure you'll still get plenty of homoerotic scenes to put in your wank bank.

We have way more gay characters then bisexual characters so this will be good. The only bisexual character we had was Sonia in that joke of a storyline having her plow Naomi.

I think it's interesting to have a bi character. They haven't 'changed his history' as we didn't know all that much about him any way. Hopefully his sexuality won't define his storylines, that way he may turn out to be interesting

Bisexuality is just a cheap strategy to 'spice up' a character for straight viewers. How very predictable and disappointing.

There is hardly any bisexual characters in soaps and it makes Danny even more interesting.

I've got to be honest, all the negativity on this thread has absolutely no substance what so ever. How is it a cop out? How is it predicable and boring?

This is something new, some what uncharted territory for Eastenders in recent years and they're so many avenues they can now go with this character. I think manipulating Janine will be brilliant, particularly when she's so vulnerable because of Michael!

If anything, had they made him gay, that would have been boring. Something we've seen done time and time again in recent years.

Besides, the representation of bisexuals on TV is practically none exist, so I think this is a positive move.
