When will we see a Bash/Joe and Kit/Maia double date?

Never, but I think they already went on a couple of them when Kit brought her to London. Did she go to Joe's play? I can't recall

R5 she apparently went to the play the same day as Jenny, Connor, Nell and her boyfriend, bash and Kit (at least she definitely went out with them after). The last day of the play kit didn’t attend but he met up with Bash, Joe, Nell and her boyfriend afterwards at a karaoke bar and brought Maia, so they’ve all hung out a few times.

R4 Given how wink wink, hush hush they are about their respective relationships we’ll only know if fans spot them, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they already have. The four of them are all over each other’s social media accounts with the comments and likes and they all seem to like each other a lot.

I think Kit took Maia to the play one week and to the afterparty the week Joe wrapped up?

It’s always funny to me that Patrick doesn’t like Joe more given he compared himself to Charlie and said that’s why he wanted to develop the show (that he as a teenager was Charlie). Don’t think he has any issue with Joe, though; he just LOVES Kit, Tobie, and Bash.

by Anonymousreply 21September 24, 2022 10:29 PM

Always got the feeling that Patrick uses Charlie as a self-insert to thirst after Nick/Kit cause some of the things he be liking about Kit are just weird to be liking about an 18 year old. Guess it's a good thing HS fangirls aren't paying attention to him and his likes.

Do we think there's a possibility for a love triangle between James/Charlie/Nick? Maybe something like the Imogen thing from season 1? We do need drama don't we and a jealous Nick will be a bonus.

by Anonymousreply 127September 25, 2022 3:39 PM

Agree with r125. I actually started re-reading the comic at the point where season 1 left off yesterday (wanted to see where season 2 is likely to end) and I was surprised at how often Nick and Charlie were kissing and being affectionate.

by Anonymousreply 128September 25, 2022 3:42 PM

R126 he is very lucky in that he can pull off most colours really well; I haven’t seen him in any I thought were awful. I just hope to god that whatever he wears his stylist gets tailored. He is thin as hell and has really skinny legs (as seen in this pic); I think when it’s fit right he looks amazing but sometimes they leave him in things that are swimming on him.

R127 the James and Isaac actors have been leaving comments and stories that suggest there might be something there. Alice also said she had plans for asexual aromantic Isaac but then said both are “spectrums” so maybe she’s planning some odd “James is into Charlie but finds love with asexual aromantic Isaac somehow” storyline. The more interesting move would be either a legit jealousy from Nick re James or Alice reenforcing the Ben/Nick parallel. Have Ben hook up with James in secret and treat him like shit (taking Charlie’s place) while dating Imogen publicly or something.

by Anonymousreply 129September 25, 2022 3:44 PM

R128 They do kiss all the time. Though I cant' see them kissing nearly as much as they do in the comic in the show. It's just constant with tons of giggling and snuggling that goes on forever. It would be cute for about a minute, but with such limited time and so many characters I think a lot will be trimmed down.

by Anonymousreply 130September 25, 2022 3:45 PM

r127 I think Nick’ll be jealous but it won’t turn into a full-blown love triangle. Sort of like the situation with Imogen, where it was always made clear that Nick wasn’t interested. Apart from Alice having said that she’s not going to make use of love triangles in the show for the sake of drama, it’s hard to imagine Charlie becoming interested in anyone else.

Speaking of James, the actor posted this story yesterday. Coupled with Tobie’s “😉” comment on his post I think any story Alice is fleshing out for James might involve Isaac? Maybe he makes Isaac realize he’s aroace or something.

Who even is interested in an Isaac storyline? Jealous Nick will be so much better than this. Really hope that's not the storyline they are going with. Cause the truth and dare scene does take place and James does appear to be interested in Charlie during that part.

Netflix needs to drill it into Alice that the major selling point of Heartstopper is Nick/Charlie and Joe/Kit so that she stops coming up with all these unnecessary storylines for extreme side characters just to gain some woke points.

R134 despite the random side tangents my guess / hope is that while she’s including too many plot points, it won’t be to the reduction of Nick and Charlie’s roles. Obviously it’s early days on set but half the cast seems like its never there; kizzy has posted from Brighton multiple weekdays of filming, Bash was off on holiday, Tobie basically lives on Twitter so can’t be filming. So at least to date much of the cast is not filming much. My guess is (uncharitably) Alice will try too many plotlines at once and many will be underdeveloped and poor, but the central Nick and Charlie storyline is most of the source material and Netflix will push her to stick to that and maybe Tao/Elle as major plotline B. She can want to include the whole cast all she likes but Netflix, looking at follower count and praise for acting performances, is going to want a tight focus on Kit and Joe

R132 Joe's so tiny. I want to pick him up.

The formula in the first season worked and was widely praised for a reason. I think the addition of the teachers and their minor plot could be interesting, but otherwise don’t think the big asexual plans are necessary. Or could have been done with a stronger actor, like Jenny.

I would've understood the additional unnecessary storylines if these were one hour episodes we were talking about. But no, it's still going to be 30 minutes long. What all does she expect to fit in them?

So yeah, really hope Netflix asks her to pack it up and just stick to what made the show popular in the first place that's Nick-Charlie and Joe-Kit.
