Former 'EastEnders' actor wants 'hot new gays' on soap

John Partridge wants more "hot new gays" on 'EastEnders'.

The 41-year-old actor quit his role of Christian Clarke after almost five years last year, along with co-star Marc Elliott, who played his on-screen lover Syed Masood, and has called for show bosses to fill the gap left by their departure with new homosexual characters.
