now that Johnny has left EE any plans DTC may have had to team him up with Ben are over.

It would be nice to see a gay male couple on the Square again and I wonder if DTC plans to cast Paul Coker as a gay character- as I am sure Paul is on his way sooner rather than later.

Paul might be straight you know. Dont know why you have it in your head he is gay.

Paul may already have a family and business so he may not pack up their stuff and move to a crummy square just because you want to see 2 guys making out.

I loved Syed and Christian but don't think it's essential to replace them with another gay couple. Besides, if Ben were to get into a relationship it would mean he's probably going to stick around longer, and I'd rather he didn't TBH!

He has a point, Paul Coker may be straight. He may be gay. Who knows.

Maybe a better question would have been "do you think they will introduce a new love interest for Ben" rather than focusing on Paul Coker.

The problem with Nightwish is that he is always rather negative!

It's not being negative it's called being realistic. It's something you should try. There are straight guys in the world and you seem to have it set in stone that Paul will be gay and that because he is gay that he simply MUST get together with Ben. Even if he is gay that doesn't mean that he has to get together with the only other gay character on the Square. Maybe you need to be realistic instead of focusing on your determination that all characters should be gay.

This.

I'd rather Paul Coker isn't gay, because I don't want to sit around again waiting for Ben to start sniffing around him. If he is gay then he should stay away from Ben until we've seen enough of him as a character in his own right. I think the young cast needs to be rebuilt and restored, before they start playing around with couples and relationships.

Why are you convinced he's gay when we know nothing about him?

He simply said we don't know if Paul Coker is gay
Not exactly negative

If he is gay I'd like to see an over protective Les and Pam worrying over people's attitudes about it showing that there's still people who disagree with homosexuality

I think if he is young he should get with Nancy. Nancy and Tamwar work well as mates so wouldn't work as a couple.

I'm not trying to start an argument, but I don't understand why you assume people are having a go at you if they disagree with your opinion?
This is a discussion forum so people will be bound to disagree with you at times

well said. Vaslav clearly knows his EE (his Fanfic was brilliant) but he creates numerous threads then gets all upset and defensive when people question him or disagree with him.

I agree ankther gay character in EE would be great now Johnny has left. Having Ben, Tina and Sonia as a representation of each sexual minority is a bit sparce.

But it's pointless discussing the sexuality of a character we know so little about. Discussing the relationship between 2 characters when one of them hasn't even been written into the show yet, is slightly odd.

He might be. Apparently DTC had plans for Johnny, maybe he would like to use those storylines he had planned for him. Maybe some of them might be given to Ben, but they were very different characters, they might not suit him. It remains to be seen.

Maybe Paul will be a lady's man and have 7 children.

I can't stress how much I want Nancy away from Tamwar! It's a couple that would fail on every level. My fingers are forever crossed in hope .

Has Johnny left Eastenders for good?
If so then I never knew that. Did the actor decide to leave or was it decided that he was surplus to requirements?

Yes Johnny has left for good and yes the actor chose to leave to the disappointment of the producer who I believe had plans for him in 2015.
