I love how kit auditioned for charlie spring, but got nick nelson instead because he really fits that character. Im proud of the whole show because they chose the right people that will execute the characters amazingly
FINALLY someone who managed to NOT misgender kizzy… almost like it’s not that hard to use they/them… edit: i'm referring to english speaking people who simply use she/her because it's easier for them - sorry for excluding languages that don't have singular gender neutral pronouns!
@@light7848 don't worry! if you didn't know any better it's fine. it's only like on video where they put their pronouns at the beginning and people in the bottom still say "she". i think i lot of people get confused between kizzy (actor) and darcy (character). darcy goes by she/her so i think people just use them :)
Jenny Walser....my favorite character.....she under-pins Charlie's frailties so perfectly....her character helps bring Charlie from clingy to confident in such an understated way. Although Charlie has deep traumas, who in the LGBTQ+ community doesn't, Tori seems to bring out the best side, which in turn shows a positive way to help heal, instead of damage......I find her character to be the most important.
Yes! In episode 8 when Charlie admits that he feels like he just ruins people's lives and it'd be better if he didn't exist, her immediate reaction to hug him and reassure him means so much, especially considering in the comics he's not very close with his parents.
@@SoapyTurtles Joe (Charlie) said in an interview that scene was his favorite in the entire season...as it is mine....still gives me a lump in the throat.....I'm waiting for the comics...they are impossible to get your hands on...I've had to resort to getting copies from multiple different countries...all on back order!😄
My fav character has to be Nick Nelson also known ask Kit Conner. His story is so true with struggling with liking boys or not. I can relate but with girls tbh.
I relate because that is me right now. I am struggling with trying to figure out my sexuality. Maybe that’s why he is my favorite character because I relate to him so much
All of the cast is my favorites.. They did really portray their character amazingly & show an impeccable performance.. The show did a great job casting each characters... 👏🏼💕
@@blackbirdnoodle9546 Of the audition, i don't think so. There is an interview tho. "Kit Connor talks Heartstopper, Nick and Charlie, acting with Olivia Colman." on the channel Brief Take
9:10 OMG I DO AGREE- harry reminded me of this one boy who used to bully me at my old school- even down to the way he speaks- not the slang just the accent ;-;
My main bully/Harry(though one of several) in high school became my Nick and in many ways I was his Charlie. He was even the captain of the football(American style similar to rugby) team, bisexual, in the closet, popular, tall, charming, and blonde. He only bullied me at first because he was having trouble coping with the massive crush he had on me. One act of kindness by me when he was really sick changed everything and we became inseparable immediately and within months were privately a consummated couple and publicly best friends. In our case I was the one that was a year older. I was short, brunette, nerd, musician, smart, semi out, and a misfit. I could also run very fast like Charlie and was on the track team for a time(still have record on the wall of our schools cafeteria 35 years later to this day), with my Nick even trying to get me on the football team with him. Of course our story wasn't exactly the same( for one I never joined the football team hell no lol though I did play soccer( rest of the world's football) for fun and was way better than him at it), but we had a good 3 year run as boyfriends with people accepting us in the end as such. We are good friends to this day. His grown kids even and current wife know our story which lead his oldest son to be a lgbtquia+ activist, writer, and ally. We graduated in the late 1980's from a rural farm school so were VERY fortunate with our experience. Sadly my college scholarship separated us by 1000 miles and ultimately we moved on to new relationships. A few years later I slow danced with him at his wedding in front of all the bigots who harassed me, then later him. Funny that he started out as one of them. Love conquers all AND it CAN happen to anyone anywhere. Our stories through our lives were filled with troubles (divorces, illness, poverty, crisis, loss) also much joy and blessings like most lives, but I will always remember those times as some of the best. Heartstopper has brought some of that back in a time when I needed it most, and perhaps even especially Harry lol 😋 because he brought with him my Nick. Why am I oversharing in a UA-cam comment? For exactly the same reason that Heartstopper was written to throw a positive story in the mix with all of the negative, but in this case a true story.
What if... I can't pick one for the actors? I love them all. Bash and Cormac acting were so good to make me wanna punch both Ben & Harry enough said. Can't wait to see character development on Isaac. So, is this a hint for season 2? And sorry if I correct your pronounciation. It's Tao Xu.. not Tayo Shu..
Nick if he got the role of Charlie: Aren’t I a bit small and weak to play rugby?” Charlie if he got the role of nick: “YOUR BUFF WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT-!?”
Mate swear to god , I seen this even in other videos and interviews, is Kit ConnOR, not Conner , it's a O not a E XD. Even he said sometimes when people spelled it wrong in like twitter questions and stuff XD
I don’t know who my favourite character is, but It could be very interesting to find out why Harry act like he does, I think there is a reason, ala like Tao said, that maybe “he didn’t get enough hugs when he was a child”. I hope I’ll figure it out in next season☺️
The thing I loved most about this story is that Nick fell in love with Charlie's Softness of heart and his kind and gentle nature. And not his genitals. I pray they never do a sex scene. I am afraid to watch any more of the story because it meant so much to me and I pray it does not become tawdry or defiled in anyway.
Well, the author is directly involved with the show, and has stated that she wants it to be targeted towards both tweens and older teens. Meaning that there likely won’t be any of those scenes. I also believe there weren’t any of those scenes in the novel. In the books, the focus was on the mental health of Charlie, and a few other characters, which is what Alice said she wanted to focus on in the upcoming seasons if there are any
@@katdelrey ok, I just read the chapter, and that honestly isn’t bad. It isn’t sexualizing them. Rather, it moreso shows the issues with teenage self perception more than anything.
Seeing the cast in interviews, I feel like you can tell Kit has more experience as an actor and the media training side of things. Not for better or worse, just there
The show is the best Queer show ever, it's been beautifully written, directed and cast, I love all the characters the story of each individual is relatable and the fact that most of the cast are fresh to us but yet such amazingly talented is even better. Alice Oseman thank you for creating such beautiful work and giving the Rainbow family a new light that was much needed, I feel like the show itself is a beacon of Queer love now, it's so beautiful I have seen it 3 times already and raved about it so much my partner ordered the books. I have no words to describe what it feels like to see such a beautiful show, well done to everyone. I like the fact that the cast is protective of their private life and that's how it should be, they are human beings and still fairly young, specially after the way Kit Connor and Joe Locke were treated so poorly, the fact they are all great friends and protect each other is wonderfully sweet, lets respect their privacy, enjoy their work and support them on their journey, I hope the media and the industry are good to them. Wish them the very best.
When you're making a show about teenagers it is best to keep the actors' private lives as private as possible. When audiences learn a character who is 16 years old is being played by an actor who is 27 years old, married, and a parent to 4 year old twins........people lose it because they can't handle reality breaking into the fantasy.
Unless she has publicly spoken about it and has made it clear that she doesn't care who knows it- I don't understand why we need to know about Yasmin Finney's family situation. It's extremely distressing to have people talking about how your family doesn't love and accept you like it's our information and we can do what we want with it.
wow tobies charachter didnt exist in heartstopper but there was aled... which is just a nother version of the same charachter. they just changed the name tbh.
Aled was removed from the show as Alice felt that a lot of his character arc depended on the books and thought it was too limiting. Instead the created Isaac which has more flexibility and by the sounds of it will have a interesting arc if further seasons are ordered.
