Yeah, the last young person on this show that I can remember coming out at a young age was Aaron and he was already 18 by that point. After that it was people like Robert, Matty and Vanessa who came out well into their adulthood. Outside of Liv turning out to be asexual, giving this storyline for a teenage character played by an actual minor (if I'm not mistaken both Arthur and his actor are both only 15) might be a first for this show so they clearly have a lot of faith in him to pull off this storyline well.

I used to watch Emmerdale every night with my mum before she died. I've not watched it since, I cant bring myself to do it. Mind you, this is going back almost 6 years when Aaron and Robert were just starting out. I don't know if they're still in it, seems there's a lot of new characters (does Nicola have kids?! I remember her being a bit of a bitch at one point and am shocked to see such a maternal side to her - maybe she softened with age). As a gay man I am happy that there's more representation of what we experience on TV, coming out is a nightmare. I just hope they also show the happy endings that a lot of gay men get - Jackson didn't get his, but I hope Aaron did because the younger generation of gay lads need to know its not all doom and gloom, you can have a great life if you just let yourself (take that from someone who didn't let himself for a long time).

A really lovely scene and well acted as are they all on this brilliant soap. I guessed it about Arthur so it wasn't a suprise as such, the way Nicola was with him was lovely. As she is his mother's best friend and like his aunt that is what made it more moving and the way it was done. A game of hangman, when Nicola realised what he was spelling out you could see in that moment how she reached out to him. I am sure his mum will be just the same, in the meantime he has someone he can trust and talk to who will be there when he is ready which is lovely.
