Luisa Bradshaw-White is "really proud" of the ‘EastEnders’ team for holding its first Pride parade.
On tonight’s (05.07.19) episode of the BBC One soap, the Walford residents will give a nod to the real-life London-based event – which celebrates LGBTQ achievements – and the Tina Carter actress has opened up about the "insane" and "exciting" experience filming the scenes.
Speaking on ITV’s ‘Good Morning Britain’, she said: "It makes me really proud. The first-time ever in soap we’ve done Pride. There were 108 supporting artists, it was just actually like Pride.
"They were so amazing, there were drag artists, it was just insane. It was so colourful and it’s so exciting."
Her co-star Max Bowden added that the episode will focus on "acceptance" and "individuality" in the best way.
He teased: "Tonight’s episode perfectly captures what Pride is about. It’s acceptance, it’s individuality and also the kind of relationships between different people in the community.
"I think Ben and Callum [‘Halfway’ Highway (Tony Clay)] capture that really beautifully."
During last night’s (04.07.19) episode, Callum’s dad Jonno (Richard Graham) clashed with Ben and came to blows before making a hasty exit from the pub.
He later shared more abusive words to his own son, but Stuart (Ricky Champ) chased him off, before seeing Ben kissing his brother – who is engaged to Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) – on the cheek.
Tonight, Stuart is set to confront Callum over the kiss, and viewers can expect a lot of surprises during the soap’s first Pride party.
