Neighbours actor Bob Morley talks about gay role

Actor Bob Morley has spoken about his upcoming on-screen kiss in Neighbours.

Morley, who plays Aidan Foster, will share a kiss with Chris Pappas (James Mason) following a house party which is due to air in Australia next week.

Speaking to TV Week in Australia, Morley said: “The boys are there at the party and just share this intimate moment, as couples do. I take my hat off to the producers of Neighbours for going with it and not sensationalising it. There is still a taboo around the subject, but there shouldn’t be at all.”

Morley was signed up last year to play Aidan and become romantically linked to Chris, who has been on the street since early 2010.

Viewers in the UK will have to wait until May when they screen on Channel 5.
