PINK NEWS: Marc Elliot, the actor who plays gay Muslim Syed in EastEnders, has revealed he gets regular abuse in the street for playing a gay character.
Syed began an affair with Christian (John Partridge) last year. When his mother found out in December, he was forced into marrying a woman.
Elliot said: "Since playing Syed I have really got it in the neck when I'm out. A lot of people are supportive but there is still a huge amount of negativity." >>> PinkNews.co.uk Staff Writer | Wednesday, May 19, 2010
