Yes I believe that Michael French is homosexual, and to the best of my
knowledge this along with the fact he doesn't like playing the part of the
womaniser in EE is the reason he is leaving the square in the very near
future. Any idears on how he will be writen out?

We're about to find out. TVQuick reckon he's leaving on 21 November
(something to do with Roy and Pat's wedding?)

If this post was written by Nick Buckle
it will almost certainly be full of self-righteous
polemic and double standards.
Ooops, nearly forgot. It will also be patronising.

I would have thought, even as another gay man, that it would be quite a
giggle to play David Wicks. Perhaps the pressure of the job is getting
to him. I think he'll do a runner when Grant and Phil find out where
Cindy is.

He is a homosexual, the actress who plays Pat Wicks is a lesbian as well,
what that has to do with the programme escapes me.

He's a bit of a thespian, isn't he? From what I've heard, anyway.

Quite, I never could see why homosexuals called themselves "gay".
Never seemed like something to be gay about.

Well I certainly hope so - in Eastenders he looks bloody miserable lately
:-)

No seriously... we heard a rumour that he was having a genuine off-screen
affair with Carol - so we're bitterly disappointed to hear that this is
unlikely. To think the delicous frisson of privileged insider knowledge
during the steamy David/Carol romance episodes was completely spurious.
Was there a thread about this...?

Well i heard that he was living with paul Nicholls...and was going out
with him. If you watch Eastenders really carefully when them two are
together...well...they're very together...practically kissing in some
scenes!
Somehow i don't think he'd be having an affair with carol!

This is internet archaeology. I didn’t realise people were even discussing stuff like this online in 1996.

I'm literally just writing this so I can say I commented in a thread that started when I was 11.

Not at all entirely true. Met him a few times in the 1990's and he was embraced in female snogs and touchy-feely stuff, would say he must be bisexual. Winked at me a few times at stage theatre too, yet am very similar to his facial features - I am female yet very symmetrically attractive with boyish good-looks. Few women look so innocent whilst being womanly in appearance.

No he isn't, yet just as bisexual as Dale Winton who also took a massive interest in well-fit females, particularly youthful ones.
