Who is your favourite LGBT character from a soap?
I am sorry if this comes across as me saying LGBT characters/people are not the same as any other character, but such characters have helped contribute to giant leaps made in the fight for LGBT rights and have really opened the publics minds by appearing on Britain's beloved soaps.
Aaron from Emmerdale has been a huge success. His coming out storyline was absolutely outstanding, and I think it helps break a lof of stereotypes. Christian and Syed were also great in EastEnders. Their storyline at the time was quite monumental. It was also so nice to see a gay couple get a happy ending for a change. What are everyone else's thoughts on this? |

Currently, Steven Beale. Fab character but we need to see more of his bad boy side.

I also really like Robert Sugden. Syed and Christian were brilliant too. I loathe the Hollyoaks guys except for James and John Paul |

MyJohnny. Get rid of the imposter one and get Sam Strike back!
Followed by Ben Mitchell, Steven Beale and Harry Thompson is also good looking. From what little I have seen of Ed from big episodes I like Robert. I like Kyle but he needs something to do! |

Ben Mitchell, Steven Beale and Todd Grimshaw are also great examples. These characters have layers and there are other sides to the characters, beyond there sexuality.
Unfortunately, I feel this isn't the case for the likes of Johnny Carter and Sophie Webster for example. They seem to be defined by their sexuality a lot of the time. |

Aaron Dingle is the best LGBT character on a soap, the best character on Emmerdale and is played by one of the finest actors to ever appear on a soap.
