| Danny Miller's character Aaron is wrestling with his sexual orientation |
The soap character began questioning his sexuality in December after kissing a friend.
Miller told This Morning: “You do often have people say things on the street and writing to you that are quite negative. It is upsetting.”
But he added: “On the positive side, I had a couple of [letters] last week saying, ‘I just feel like I’m watching myself on TV – this is the exact journey I’ve been through’.
“It’s nice when they’re giving you praise and saying, ‘You’re playing it well and it’s exactly how I was when I was coming out’. It’s a great feeling.”
Emmerdale has had several gay characters before, such as Grayson Sinclair (Christopher Villiers) and Jonny Foster (Richard Grieve).
In 2008, Grieve’s character entered into a civil partnership with Paul Lambert, played by Matthew Bose.
