For his part, Connor has his own reading of his character. “For Nick, I think there’s a lot of exploration to do in terms of his family. It’s well known by comic book fans that he has an older brother who is homophobic. I think that would be a very interesting route to take.”
The series has been embraced by millions around the world as it deals with the theme of a teenage romance in a hostile environment so that two boys can casually fall in love, with all the doubts and preconceptions around discovering sexuality.
