EastEnders' Steven axed in gay plot
22
Feb 2008- London, England- star Aaron Sidwell is being written out of the
soap - as his character struggles with the fact that he could be bisexual.
Aaron will be at
the centre of a huge storyline as Steven snogs both Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner)
AND Jane's gay brother, Christian Clarke (John Partridge).
Steven, who only
returned to Albert Square last September, will be seen leaving in May, according
to The Sun.
Last night an
insider said: "Aaron's contract is not being renewed but he will leave with a
bang. There is a big exit story."
But they refused
to deny that Steven could be KILLED OFF.
Upon his return
to Walford, it was clear that Steven was battling some demons as he stalked Ian
Beale (Adam Woodyatt) before taking him hostage.
During a
struggle, Steven accidentally shot Ian's wife Jane (Laurie Brett) in the
stomach, which resulted in her having a hysterectomy.
Steven was then
sent to a psychiatric hospital and tried to kill himself, until Stacey stopped
him.
The pair have
since become firm friends - and their relationship will soon take another turn
when they kiss.
But Steven
doesn't take things any further with Stacey as he fights his feelings for
Christian, who has already flirted with him.
The insider
added: "It's an extremely odd love triangle."
