'EastEnders' star Marc Elliott has said that his character will have a "rocky road" ahead of him.

According to Digital Spy, the actor, who plays Syed Masood in the show, said: "It won't be all happiness. And if there is happiness, it'll definitely be temporary."

Referring to the possibility of the Masood family accepting Syed's relationship with Christian, he said: "I think that'd be nice, but it's cloud cuckoo land to think that."

"I really don't think it'll happen. Because of the traditional nature of the family, I can't see them coming to terms with Syed and Christian as a couple."

"And actually, I don't even think Syed can come to terms with them as a couple."

"Time will tell, though. It's such a hard thing to reconcile faith with sexuality and make it work."

Speaking about the possibility of Syed and Christian reuniting, he said: "If they did, it'd be a rocky road."
