. joelocke03 and kit_connor, who lead netflix's Heartstopper, open up about representation, queer happiness, and why they really want a season 2 ❤️🌈 ⤵️
Joe Locke and Kit Connor appear on my screen, my heart almost stops. I know that this is Joe Locke on a Zoom video call, not Charlie Spring. I know it’s Kit Connor, not Nick Nelson. I know that a flurry of animated leaves will not glide across their faces. But like most of the audience watching or about to start watching, I’ve spent eight episodes with these characters, and even longer when you consider Alice Oseman’s original webcomic.
But the show ventures beyond the white cis lead duo by exploring life for Charlie’s friend Elle, a recent transfer from Truham to Higgs, the local girls’ school. Black trans girls can turn on the TV and see Yasmin Finney as Elle Argent, complete with laid edges — an experience that’s steeped in culture, belonging, and feeling at home.
