Default Neighbours: New gay character

Australian newspaper 'Herald Sun' reports that Neighbours is to get another gay character who is to be a boyfriend for Chris Pappas. He will be played by Bob Morley, who was Drew Curtis in Home & Away...

NEIGHBOURS looks set to have its first gay couple, with former Home and Away star Bob Morley joining the cast.
Morley plays male nurse Aidan Foster, a love interest for gay character Chris Pappas, who is played by James Mason.

While there have been gay characters in Aussie soaps before, as far as a couple is concerned it is a first for Neighbours and possibly the country.

At this stage Morley's role is for six months, but it could be extended.

The actor said the fact his character is gay didn't make a different to him signing on to Neighbours.

"I don't see it as a big deal that the character is gay,"he said.

"It certainly doesn't define him and what the writers have planned is really interesting and authentic."

Neighbours executive producer Susan Bower said it was a natural progression for the character played by Mason to eventually have a love interest.

"To be true to the Chris character, now he is a regular in storylines, we knew at some stage he needed to meet someone," she said. "How it unfolds, all will be revealed, however I think viewers will find the story compelling."
