Fans of Neighbours<\/a> have been upset to hear that more heartache for Mackenzie Hargreaves (played by Georgie Stone) is on the way when her partner, Hendrix Greyson (Ben Turland), will tragically die<\/a> in upcoming scenes.<\/p>\n Despite only recently getting married on screen, Hendrix and Mackenzie\u2019s happily ever after will be brutally cut short when the husband dies following a lung transplant.<\/p>\n The move prompted backlash from fans, who were concerned to see such a prominent trans character go through more tragedy.<\/p> Annie Wallace, who plays Sally St Claire in Hollyoaks<\/a>, took to Twitter to complain about the storyline, saying: \u201cYay\u2026 let\u2019s give this young, beautiful trans woman a happy ending. And then let\u2019s kill off her husband of mere weeks. The \u2018tragic trans\u2019 trope rears its ugly head yet again.\u201d<\/p>\n Wallace, who was the first trans actor to portray a regular trans character in a UK soap<\/a>, added later: \u201cI\u2019m still angry about this. The show is about to end, and Neighbours just couldn\u2019t bring themselves to give them a happy ever after. Trans people deserve that too. Let\u2019s SEE it, please.\u201d<\/p>\n Yay… let’s give this young, beautiful trans woman a happy ending.
