'From Emmerdale to Pose, trans characters have always made me feel seen'

Just Like Us ambassador Charlie Hall reflects on the trans characters in popular culture that made him feel “less alone” as a trans man.

After someone posted in a fan group demanding more screen time for the character, other fanatics felt inclined to agree with Sam being 'underrated'. One follower wrote: "You are so right. It seems that the writers are just putting in barely enough work to get their pay."

BBC EastEnders fans work out exact date Albert Square legend Mick Carter will return to soap in ...

One fan tweeted: "I am certain Mick will return [at] Alfie & Linda's wedding on the 40th anniversary… calling it now!" Another fan similarly guessed: "I saw someone tweet their theory about Mick returning for the 40th anniversary, I hope that happens, I miss Mick."

Harry and William were 'lost souls' before meeting Meghan and Kate | Royal | News | Express.co.uk

The author of the newly-released book Gilded Youth, which looked into the upbringing given to royals over the past decades, told Express.co.uk: "I think actually, in a strange way, the two boys, William and Harry, need their partners in a very similar way."

Mr Quinn argued the fact that both the princes were brought up by paid staff, in line with the upbringing that used to be given to aristocrats and royals, had an impact on Harry and William, as the hired nannies "could leave anytime".
