Eastenders To Feature Gay Bar

Eastenders fans are set to see a brand new gay bar, The Prince Albert, open in Walford.

The much anticipated development will be on the site of the old pub The Albert and will likely be the scene of a lot of dance floor drama.


The show's new boss Kate Oates is keen to bring in more LGBT characters, and noted in a recent interview that a gay kiss should not be considered "shocking television".

She told The Sun: "We're looking at opening a gay bar on the Square which will be a super-cool precinct where gay and straight characters can all just hang out.

"It should be something really exciting, really fun, really visual and feel really true to multicultural London."
