“Hope so, Sean deserves some happiness,” added a third.
Robert Shaw Cameron is no stranger to the limelight, having also appeared in the EastEnders spin-off Ricky and Bianca which aired in 2002, as well as Holby City and The Bill.
Sean’s new romance comes after the Underworld factory worker faced yet another setback in his love life after a string of dates with newbie, Frank Bardsley.
The pair met in the Rovers Return when Frank was waiting for his latest online date to arrive before he struck up a conversation with Sean.
Despite Frank already being on the dating scene, things soon took a turn as he found himself out on a date with Sean but it emerged that he already had links to the famous street.

After being introduced to George Shuttleworth, who is currently dating Eileen Grimshaw, it emerged that Frank had bullied George during their school days.
Despite Eileen insisting that people can change, Frank showed his true colours as he hit out at Sean’s son Dylan, who was injured in a football match.
He fumed at the youngster who became injured during the game, leading Frank to flip out over Dylan not fighting back – leaving Sean enraged who later ended their brief romance.
However, before the explosive scenes aired, fans had already worked out Frank’s past, with one writing online: “Hope this Sean and Frank story is not going to turn into an abusive or bullying relationship scenario.”
“George isn’t afraid of him anymore. Sean might be his target this time,” said a second.
