EastEnders star James Farrar teases shock gay throuple for Zack Hudson

EASTENDERS star James Farrar has joked the soap could be about to see a gay throuple.
The actor – who plays Zack Hudson – first arrived in Albert Square in 2021 and was introduced as the younger brother of Sharon Watts.
During his three years in Walford, fans have watched ladies man Zack hookup with some of EastEnders‘ most iconic characters.
He eventually settled with Whitney Dean and the couple went on to have a baby.
But in true soap style Whitney was devastated when she learned he had cheated with Lauren Branning.
It ultimately led to her leaving Albert Square and Zack single once again.
With his charm appearing to fail on the ladies, James has opened up on the next chapter for his alter ego.
Speaking to The Sun and the Inside Soap Awards, the 37-year-old said: “I think he loves his boys, doesn’t he? I think Ravi and Martin is the brotherhood there.”
James then joked his character could have a gay throuple with his best mates.
He said: “Why not? Why not? See, Stan, does anything can happen.”
James’ character has been at the forefront of some of the BBC soap’s biggest storylines recently, such as Zack being diagnosed with HIV.
The plot saw viewers watch as Zack came to terms with leaving with the virus, while struggling to tell his family and friends.
EastEnders stars who QUIT
MICHELLE Collins has seen her second EastEnders stint boost her bank balance. Yet what stars have quit this year?
The Sun exclusively reported how Michelle, 62, was down to £20,000 in her company accounts when she agreed to a shock back-from-the-dead return to Albert Square last year.
Her character, Cindy Beale, was presumed dead off-camera in 1998.
Yet what about the 2024 exits?
Earlier this summer, loyal soap fans appeared to note how Stevie Mitchell had “quit” the long-running series.
It came after Alan Ford enjoyed just six-months on-screen.
Bobby Beale actor Clay Milner Russell also left this year after five years in Walford.
Fans also feared Martin Fowler actor James Bye would “quit out of boredom” over recent storylines.
Additionally, a host of stars have quit the BBC soap for Hollywood fame.
One of the most successful stars to come from the BBC One soap is Rob Kazinsky.
He played Stacey Slater's brother Sean Slater from 2006 to 2009, he has starred in Hollywood blockbusters Pacific Rim and Captain Marvel.
Ben Hardy, who quit EastEnders as Bobby Beale almost a decade ago, went on to break Hollywood the following year, when he starred as Archangel in X-Men: Apocalypse.
Since then, he has played Roger Taylor in Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, and he starred in Michael Bay's Netflix movie 6 Underground.
Michelle Ryan played Zoe Slater until 2005.
She starred as the lead in short-lived American series Bionic Woman from 2007 to 2008.
