I'm a little disheartened to discover that there were enough fans accusing Kit Connor of queerbaiting that he felt compelled to come out as bi. 

I mean, good for him being honest, but no one should be demanding a celebrity be out before they're ready.

TVLine names Kit Connor and Joe Locke "Performers of the Week" for the Season 2 finale, which features the scene in which Charlie opens up to Nick about his past struggles.

William Gao also receives an Honorable Mention for his work in the third episode, as he portrays Tao's bundle of insecurities in the midst of trying to create the perfect date for/with his crush/longtime friend Elle.

Katya's insight that some kids feel pressured to have sex wasn't something I had thought of. I also found kissing-only to be unrealistic, but the show does imply that other couples are in fact doing more than that. It seems like a specifically Nick issue, but I also found it rather surprising. I think it's good to normalize not being pressured. But I also think it needed a little more explanation than they gave it, because it just seemed highly unlikely to me that Charlie and Nick would be in this category.

Quote

 

"Charlie is a character that existed in a book I wrote before Heartstopper, and in that book, he is at his lowest in terms of his mental health, going through some quite traumatic times. That was the story, so those themes and ideas were always going to be explored,"

Oseman adds about the latest chapter in the couple's journey, "Each of them has these vulnerabilities and anxieties that they're not quite yet able to share with each other, and that does create some tension in their relationship. What Tao has to learn is to let his guard down, and Elle does, too - to be vulnerable with each other in a new, slightly more communicative way."
