EastEnders star Riley Carter Millington attends Rainbow List Party with Hollyoaks’ Annie Wallace

From DigitalSpy – 17 November 2015

Soap newcomers Riley Carter Millington and Annie Wallace celebrated their success at the Rainbow List party last night (November 16).

The Independent’s Rainbow List celebrates the 101 most influential lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people in Britain.

Millington was cast in EastEnders earlier this year and has now become the first trans man to top the list, while Hollyoaks’ first trans actress Wallace was recognised as well.

EastEnders boss Dominic Treadwell-Collins also featured on this year’s list for the first time, due to casting the first trans male actor (Millington) in a leading trans role.

Taking to Twitter, Millington and Wallace posted pictures of the celebrations, including one with Boy Meets Girl’s Rebecca Root, who also made the list.

Hollyoaks viewers may remember that Root appeared in the show a few months back in a guest role.
