In the play Joe’s character is apparently fairly radical and a bit of a dick, and hooks up with a character played by a biological female (non-binary in the show, idk about real life, but clearly a female body and wearing a skirt). Interesting and good to show his range if he can play “non gay” and being a prick rather than the super pure, both saintlike Charlie and Nick.

Saw the play yesterday. Actually not a bad cast overall given their ages and inexperience (two of the actors were pretty mediocre but the rest were decent to good), though the script was heavy handed. Joe was definitely the standout. he wasn’t Olivier quality but was genuinely entertaining and was very different from his performance in Heartstopper. Went with a friend who has no interest in Heartstopper and he said the same unprompted. He hooks up with a character who is non-binary but is played by a woman and wears feminine clothing. Wouldn’t say he comes off as the straightest man of all time, but he actually pulled off that chemistry pretty well and I actually am more convinced if he was cast as straight in particular roles (like the “sensitive” “poetic” guy) he could handle it.

R46 That's cool, thanks for sharing! It's great that Joe was the standout - I had a feeling that he'd be good at playing a darker/angrier role like that.
Joe was a standout as opposed to Will, then? How was Will? I know he's done some theatre before but I wasn't ultra impressed with his acting in Heartstopper.
Also, did the audience behave themselves? No inappropriate shrieking from teenage girls when Joe and Will came on?

I wonder if Kit will get chance to see Joe's show? His filming schedule might not allow it, which would be a shame. Similarly with Bash.
by Anonymous | reply 55 | August 16, 2022 11:16 AM |
R54 obviously opinions may vary here on standout but I did think it was Joe, though a few others were also good. Keep in mind I did think the writing had definite high points and weaknesses so Joe wasn’t flawless and had some awkward moments but I think overall did a good job and was genuinely funny. Giving spoilers, Will’s character was meant to be kind of an oddly funny likable guy with a clear crush on the main girl (offers to recite cheesy poetry to her), and later feels betrayed because she lies about her parents’ culpability in climate crimes. He did a decent job with it and was definitely likable; I want to be fair to him as I think his character was one of the more unevenly written ones.
Audience was on good behavior and all the younger cast entered at the same time and came out for bows at the same time so Joe and Will weren’t noticeably more applauded which was a smart move.
R55 I’m sure they would have at least one day off filming in the time the show is playing. Might be a tough sell for Kit to make the journey in from and back to York if it’s only a day (fair enough) but given how joined at the hip Bash and Joe are I suspect we’ll see him make an appearance at one of the shows.

R56 Thanks! I wonder if official reviews will be written about the show - it'll be interesting to hear their feedback too, in terms of standouts/quality etc.
Thank god for the audience behaving - I was kinda worried it would be a bunch of squealing teen girls excited to see actors from Heartstopper, and it would taint the experience for the actors. We don't want them to resent the show when they still have at least two seasons left to shoot!
I reckon Kit will make the journey if he can - if it was just Joe, maybe not, but he seems especially close to Will. When it was announced, Kit posted on Instagram that he couldn't wait to see it.

R62 I agree Bash and Kit are close, but think he and Joe are too. Bash and Kit happened to be filming in the same location with a group of other young stars, I think if any two members of the cast were doing the same they would likely hang out on a day off. Also Kit and joe out together in public would not be left alone by fans for a second. I think they’ve gotten closer since the show’s release and weathering the insane increase in attention together; obviously pride was a PR thing but a lot of their more casual interactions during it looked very organically fond. Last year Kit’s post for Joe’s birthday was a quick video of them hanging out at Bash’s house and fans seemed surprised as they didn’t know they’d hung out like that off set, both have referenced texting one another one on one. Kit seems closest to Will and Bash and Joe of the cast

Recalling their interactions before the show aired, those weren’t awkward either.

R64 I'd agree with most of that! The Joe Kit relationship is an interesting one - I'd love to see how they interact when no one's watching and they aren't being interviewed etc. It's hard to work out.
I think Kit's closer to Will and maybe Bash, but I agree that Joe and Kit have become closer over time. Maybe it's more of a slow burn of a friendship. I can't see them hanging out much one on one and they clearly aren't besties, but they've hung out together multiple times with other cast members. And the fact that Kit is close with Bash and Joe is dating Bash means that they'll likely see each other quite a lot anyway. I think the fairly relaxed 'taxi around London' interview was probably the best demonstration of their friendship.
The fact that they got to know each other alongside having to kiss over and over and act smitten with each other may well add a layer of weirdness to their real-life friendship - especially if Kit is straight. They might have (subconsciously) developed the 'taking the mick' relationship as a slight coping mechanism against the awkwardness.

R91 oh Kit and to some (different way) extent Yaz are the fandom gods. People will often write rants on how Yaz is changing the world because she shows up to accept an Icon award or attends the Trans Pride march; meanwhile Joe also goes to Pride and legitimately helps push a local government to immediately change a law and gets pretty little attention. He’s not diverse enough to be the super woke’s praised one (unless black Trans woman) and isn’t the one they’re thirsty over like Kit. I’m hopeful for Joe long term. He is talented, getting good reviews from viewers for the play, smart and eloquent, and will hopefully have a good s2 storyline.

The interest in Yaz is much more performative than the interest in any other cast member.
That being said, I also don’t fully get why people on here put so much stock on what teenaged fraus on Twitter say or do at all. Joe’s speech was covered by the BBC. Someone posted him featured in GQ a couple of links up. He’s getting attention from the people and places that actually matter on a level that is head and shoulders above the rest of the cast bar Kit. He’s not being sidelined in the real world.
The one thing that is unfortunate is that The Trials is not being professionally reviewed, I assume to spare the younger cast or something?

by Anonymous | reply 132 | August 19, 2022 7:09 PM |
If he was staying there before, not sure why they'd kick him out of the house just because Bash is working. They seem to really love Joe. Not sure where he was living before though. He could have his own place.

R125 I know it isn't life or death, but I really hope after all Joe's queer campaigning etc lately that it isn't just Kit and not Joe who makes the shortlist.

Seems almost certain he lives with the Crofts? They let 28 year old Connor who is just Bash’s friend stay with them for a month last year and a few weeks this year, and Joe is Bash’s actual boyfriend so I’m sure they’re even more welcoming. As R133 said the whole family seems to love Joe and it seems like he half lived with them last year considering he said in an interview he spent more time in London than IOM in 2021. Also the paparazzi photos from a few weeks ago had bash’s parents picking Joe up from rehearsal and Doulla has apparently seen his play twice. Even if it is likely a bit weirder or more awkward staying there while bash is in York they’re hardly going to kick him out, especially as the show starts filming in a few weeks and getting a place would be a total waste of money

I guess I was just assuming that joe won’t be moving back to the IOM since he’ll have so many more opportunities in London, and figured he’d start renting his own flat

R136 agreed he’ll stick in London and can fully see him renting his own place after s2; just think it’s unlikely that it was worth it to sign a lease for a year just to live there from end of June through September and then be on set for months, especially given he and Bash seem joined at the hip

He won't go back to IOM I don't think. Just not sure he's had time to really move into his own place with everything going on yet. He's kind had a whirlwind summer since he finished school.

How do you know Bash hasn't been home since he started working on his project? Maybe he goes home for the weekend. You're assuming he's working 24/7 without a break? Weird.

Jumping in here, but he was definitely in York last weekend because that’s when he was spotted with Kit. If he’s only off on weekends it would make sense for him just to stay in the area instead of traveling back and forth. It’s not like he’s going to be in York for ages.

My guess would be either meeting with agencies or auditioning for things to film during the hiatus between HS 2 and 3. He could also have hypothetically shot a guest spot for something? Beyond that I don’t think he would have had time for anything more than that.

I didn't pick up any nerves, there was a problem with the set at the end where something didn't come down so they had to do a different ending (still the same plot though) there is a bit where he does a monologue which was essentially said straight at Bash/Connor just purely because of where they were sitting
