Joseph Locke

With Tobie.

Joe is looking amazing. Always thought he looked better in videos and person but even pics recently he’s been looking really good

Looks like he's wearing a Charlie pin here.

Joe clearly is most of the cast members favorite isn't he?

His hair looked so light back then.

R4 Seems like it.

R3 didn’t even notice that but yeah it is. That’s bash’s jacket so wonder if Joe just attached the pin this week / has taken it permanently or if bash keeps it on as well

R4 yeah I would say he is the closest to a handful of them and top 3 for most of the others. Tobie, Yaz, Bash and Jenny are all pretty clearly closest to him; kit and Will are also really fond of him especially after the Trials for Will; Rhea, Cori, and Kizzy seem extremely fond of him (especially Rhea) and even the new cast treats him very warmly. Must be incredibly likable

They all look so happy at Disney. Im glad Joe got his Disney Trip

Who will be posting the piggyback picture I wonder.

R9 if anyone, my money is on Maia. But it is prob just on the finstas

Joe did on his finsta I'm sure.

Bash posted, so hope is lost for anyone to post it

Actually forgot about Maia. Joe posted some double datish looking pictures, so maybe she'll do it. I doubt it though.

R11 bash’s post was prettt cute. They all seemed to have a genuinely fantastic time

I love the ride pictures.

Another one.

R15 that is a really cute picture of joe

I’m guessing they won’t post this one.

The Charlie pin Joe is wearing is really cute, surprise Alice hasn’t taken advantage of the exploding fanbase and made them again.

R17 Drop the pic Maia

Did Kizzy always wear a wig as Darcy?

r20 No, that was their hair last season.

With a fan. They’re the one that went viral after tweeting that they came out thanks to Nick so it’s sweet that they met them all.

R22 I've decided Kit has strawberry blonde hair. He looks like he needs a nap.

They told the story of meeting all of them.

christening this thread

R25 Joe's got a cute little butt. His boyfriend does not

you can't even tell if bash is facing the front or the back bc of how flat it is how tragic

R26 yeah it was pretty obvious in the paparazzi video of them too. Joe was wearing baggy pants but still had a nice little ass. Bash… well he’s overall very hot, we all have our weaknesses

They're white. Butt talk is redundant.

Cute.

Baby Joe looks more of a Nick with that russet hair.

Yaz is the only one that isn’t in any of the off-set pictures, right?

Random observation - I feel like a subtle sign of Joe and Kit being closer nowadays is that they were sitting/standing next to each other in most of the Disney photos. I know that doesn't automatically mean anything but I noticed in older photos, they'd rarely stand next to each other (Kit would always be next to Will, Joe usually next to Bash) and you could almost see the main friendship groupings in the way they'd gather. Now it seems to be Joe/Bash/Kit/sometimes Tobie, Will/Kit, Corinna/Kizzy/Rhea, etc.

Not sure what happened with the guy who played Mr Farouk cos he was in barely any of the photos!

R33 Cormac wasn’t in any picture with the main cast, but was posted with some of the other rugby lads. Yaz is the only one you would expect to see who isn’t in any cast pictures. She attended a PFW event the day everyone went to Disney. She used to genuinely appear to get along with the entire cast, but now seems to be over it. She seems like a diva now, but maybe I’m reading too much into things.

Yaz seems really nice with fans. I'm not sure I'd call her a diva, but seems like she's close to some of them (Joe in particular), but mostly they are work friends. Everyone seems to like her though since they support her so much even if she doesn't publicly return the favor much

R34 I think kit and Joe are very comfortable with each other, and it's evident. They have a special bond. I am happy for them, can't wait to see season. 2.

r34 My “oh yeah, they’re definitely close” moment was this video. Kit having suggested the pose and they way they’re in the pose without the fan and they’re swaying in an almost automatic way. That kind of casual intimacy you have with friends.

R38 we know that, you don't have to post it again and again proving something to some people. It's annoying.

R38 God that gum chewing!! Why do some people chew gum like that?

It’s nice that they seem to have become better friends. I hope the second season is good and less cheesy than the first one. I’m guessing it will have a more serious tone.

r39 I’m…not posting that to prove anything? I’m replying to someone who ostensibly already agrees? It’s called a conversation.

R38 Yeah, agreed! They seem very comfortable there. I'd love to see more of the clip though - Kit suggested the pose with the fan but I don't think the fan was here at that point. I think this was maybe before people arrived when they were taking test shots with the camera. Maybe Kit suggested it here too, who knows - he does seem to be a hug initiator.

Also I'm still very curious what the heck the 'Joe and Kit were really close on the metro' thing was about, haha. We'll probably never know.

[quote]God that gum chewing!! Why do some people chew gum like that?

whoever said he was chewing it out of anxiety was prob right bc he hasn't been spotted chewing like that before or after the con

Joe’s face 😂

R35 Yaz isn’t a diva. She’s having her moment that she’s worked hard for, it’s a shame some people want to tear her down for it

He was well cast.

These threads have become insufferable. It's all keeping score on how friendly you perceive people to be. I'm starting to hope Muriel sends you all to TapaTalk.

I summoned a picture of Yaz by asking about her.

R48 Who posted this pic?

R49 The fan page who posted it on Twitter say it’s off instagram but they don’t know where originally. I’m guessing that’s a fan at the back and that’s who posted.

I don’t know what water Joe is drinking but he definitely seems to be going through a glow up

R35 given Joe and Kit were filming Sunday and that will also didn’t go to Disney, wouldn’t be surprised if tao and Elle had some scenes to shoot Saturday morning as well, thus Will and Yaz being absent from Disney

Yeah, Paris seems (predictably) very Nick/Charlie and Tao/Elle-centric.

R54 yeah sure there are like 50 people in the fandom who actually give a shit about them

Kit seems to like the height difference between them both.

He looks great, I know everyone including me has said this but genuinely hoping he doesn’t cut his hair

R56 Very cute! Almost looks like Kit has his hand on the back of Joe’s head at the end, he just sort of leaves it there.

r29 is kit wearing a rainbow bracelet?

Twitter searched to see if there was info on it (side note, it’s crazy how HS fans are really good at tracking that kind of thing). It’s a bracelet that says “Love is Love” on it. People first noticed it at the con. He was wearing it at the beginning (before he met with fans) so I think he might have picked it up at Pride?

Joe and Kit both won Breakout Artist at that Anglophile Channel awards thing.

Some fandom assholes must be crying since they will not get the chance to pity on Joe, draw unnecessary attention to his loss in awards that no one has heard about, write a para on how good he is even if he didn't win.

R55 there’s life outside your “fandom” you know that?

R63 sorry did I trigger fellow tranny supporter?

R62 Now let's not act like Joe isn't underappreciated. No one wants to throw a pity party for him. It's just a fact that most of them are biased towards Kit as compared to Joe.

R64 Just a little reality check sweetie, sorry I startled you

R66 Get off of datalounge gossip pages, step into the real world, then. Sweetie.

You want to talk about the real world on a Heartstopper thread?!

You wanna talk about the world outside the fandom on datalounge?

tHe FaNdOm

The word is far better than stalking

Don't get religious on us, r71.

So there is a new video of them on the paris subway shooting a scene im guessing

R73 I can’t think of what scene this would be. But, it seems as though Alice has changed the storyline a little.

R73 I wonder if that's what the 'Joe and Kit close on the metro' person saw? Although the crew seems pretty obvious.

Seems that Joe and Kit did have a joint meeting room at the convention - has anyone come across any more info about it, what they said etc? I've barely heard anyone mention it, despite giving full rundowns of the individual Kit and Joe meetings.

R73 are they holding hands while standing in the corner next to camera crew? maybe that's what the stranger saw?

Joe and Will.

R79 it’s not so dramatic in this photo but their height difference makes me laugh. If Will ever has a scene next to the Sahar actress they’ll have to give her a box to stand on

Found where r79 is from, this is cute.

Joe and Tobie seem to have grown a lot more closer nowadays.

R82 I think they’ve always been close; in the vlogs they were always together. Tobie just lives up in Bath and Joe was in IOM (and when he wasn’t was in London with Bash). But I really like their friendship; Joe really seems to be the most universally liked cast member

The three of them (joe, bash, and tobie) are the only gay men on the cast so ofc they’re gonna stick together. Joe and Tobie’s friendship is so sweet and I loved seeing bash and tobie together on the vlogs. Tobie seems to be supportive of their relationship as well. Love all around.

R82 Bash be looking like the third wheel here.

bash rly has mastered looking like the third wheel in his own relationship especially when kit is around

R86 Sadly for you, that never happens other than work events while he seems closer to Tobie in everyday life

lol you keep trying to convince yourself of that

I don’t think this was posted here yet?

R90 This really makes me wonder if Ben's just sulking on the bridge about to unalive himself with no friends when the gang comes across him. Maybe Imogen takes pity on him.

R91 I don’t think he’s in this scene, there must be 2 on/near a bridge, as Bash was photographed with Will and Joe (giving Will some sort of backrub) when they’re in different outfits to these, haven’t seen any photos of him with them when they’re in these outfits

R86 sure

R91 AO would never include a scene like that

R94 I was joking mostly, but R92 is right since Joe and Will were wearing something different. I do wonder about what shit Alice will do with Ben, the most evil 16 year old to ever live though.

Has Cormac been seen filming at all at these locations?

Ben and Imogen is most likely happening.

Ben and Imogen haven't been spotted together even once during the Paris trip. And really doubt that's the storyline Alice will be going for.

Yeah, Joe himself was wearing both the outfit from r90 and the outfit from when they meet up with Nick’s dad on the Pont des Arts bridge so they shot at least 2 scenes there.

R96 Cormac is so nondescript and nobody likes him so it's hard to notice if he's around or not.

I'd guess Harry wouldn't be hanging around with the hang much though, but probably other people in the scenes so fans didn't really care.

R97 Bash has been spotted filming exactly one time the whole Paris trip I think. Nobody other than Joe and Kit have been spotted that much at all. I'm guessing they did more filming than what fans caught.

r93 love that they show as much affection as a gay guy and a straight girl

Everyone acts more relaxed when they don’t think they’re being watched.

R101

Of course. Waiting for the third wheel Bash to Joe and Kit pictures

R100 placing a hand on a girls shoulder for a picture is affection? Damn me and my gay friends must be married with kids

it's nice that bash took a break from shoving fans in between himself and joe to hang out with maia

Had Joe and Bash met before filming Heartstopper?

Whenever Joe and Bash break up I’m going to block this site from my browser for a month. Can’t imagine the shitshow this place will be given that you all are this annoying now.

R105 No, he couldn't have met any of them before HS. He was just some random from IOM. I have read that Bash and Joe's closeness is because they were long time friends pre-HS though, which is funny since they obviously weren't

You act like they’re gonna do a breakup announcement

They won’t need to announce it, someone on here will inevitably pick up on it the instant they archive posts or whatever.

Archiving posts means shit considering how much they've already archived. It'll be more when they aren't ever seen together anymore together anymore at all or seen with other people more than they are seen with each other.

You guys do know that it’s possible to stay friends after a breakup right? I know they’ve been together for a really long time but that doesn’t mean that it has to end badly

R111 tell that to Sof

Sof and kit are two different people than bash and joe… sof’s always been posting about kit for clout and after he realized it they were done.

Not sure that's why they are done at all. Sof actually seemed to try to keep shit more quiet. Her brother was about to talk about Kit and she cut him off once I know.

And Joe and Bash will prob stay friendly enough. As in they won't ever unfollow each other or anything. I mean, Connor still likes Miles posts occasionally.

r110 archiving posts will mean something if they clear off any trace of each other from their feeds like tends to happen when younger ppl break up

r114 sof had a weird way of keeping things quiet when every other video on her tiktok was kit and she tagged non-kit videos with heartstopper and to this day she still has a pinned video of kit on her account

You can tell this place is full of teenagers when an 18 month relationship is “a really long time” R111

It's a really long time because they were actually teenagers when they met, and one still is.

Was their disneyland trip sponsored by Disney itself ??

Yeah, the #gifted hashtag on Joe’s social media posts means that he got the trip for free from the company. I think it’s interesting that he was the only one using the hashtag, I guess he was the chosen one and invited the rest of the cast. It makes sense since he was the one openly saying he wanted to go to Disneyland and I’m sure the Disney people saw it.

Corinna also used the hashtag in her stories, but yes either Joe’s team contacted Disneyland Paris about a deal or they contacted him/them about the experience in exchange of an Instagram post.

Looks like they all had a great day! I wonder if Will and Yaz wish they hadn’t missed it.

R90 Joe hangs out with Tobie alot on set, it seems.

he's naturally going to hang out the most with his most frequent scene partners but we'll always see him with tobie the most bc he's the one recording the vlog

From Friday, don’t think we saw them in these outfits before this.

R123 People gonna crazy about that tiny hickey

R124

yeah they are. in the comic it was a much bigger deal, they should have made it bigger. thats barely anything

Cute pics - do we reckon the first photo is Joe and Kit taking a selfie, or Nick and Charlie? I’m assuming the second pic is during a take, but the first one has a crew member just chilling on his phone.

New Kit Thread

R126 maybe they took it for Instagram post thing, there's lot of that in comics.

r126 It could be like the snow day, where they’re taking pictures to use for their social media accounts on the show. My guess is it’s that or Kit and Joe taking a selfie.

Wait, guy that took the picture answered someone that asked and said it’s a scene.

I think the hickey scene is what they needed the intimacy co-ordinator for, that guy was in Paris for a very short period of time. And the hickey is so small, the frau is gonna definitely make it look like he got that from kissing. Something that's only possible in fraupedia.

R131 I think the hickey scene might be filmed in England as it’s meant to happen in the hotel (and they are presumably filming all those in the UK). More likely he was in Paris for some Tao Elle scenes and some other Charlie / Nick moments. But fully agreed that Alice is going to write a reality defying scene where Charlie gets a hickey just from Nick kissing him too hard

R131 I doubt they filmed the hickey scene in Paris - it’s an indoor scene so they’ll just film it in the UK.

Nick gives Charlie the hickey in a hotel room, so it’s unlikely they shot that scene in Paris. The Tao and Elle kiss is in the Louvre, so it was more likely that one and then if they added any Nick and Charlie kisses in public, those as well.

Isn't anyone on twitter weirded out by the fact that a grandpa took pics of them

grandpa = normal middle aged man?

Actually nice to see a fan who isn't a screeching teenage girl for once

R137 his glow up this past year has been crazy

R136 yeah I know, nothing can top one of them wearing a Nick Nelson t shirt at dreamitcon.

A scene with Will.

r135 you're going to be even more weirded out if you look at the only tweet response he's liked

R141 Well, that's a tad gross. Also, in his topless pics, didn't Kit have a basically hairless chest/torso? Is that normal for an eighteen-year-old, or do you reckon he removes it?

R141 well I am not surprised. R136 appreciate you standing for old people, also, NORMAL middle aged man? I doubt that.

Very active old HS fans on SM always weirded me out, they never fail to.

R138 he has such nice skin

r141 Back off Grandpa

Grandpa deleted the tweet so I’m going to repost the pictures.

Nicks outfits don’t do Kit any favours. Those mid length, cuffed shorts are an abomination, they make his bottom half look chunky & he really isn’t.

R150 he's looking the same as he looked in season 1, I really thought he's lost his baby face when he dropped those pics of him on insta.

Wondering what's this for.

R153 the Alexander McQueen show

He's looking good.

Here’s the video of the show from earlier today

From today.

Great jawline

He looks great and his outfit actually fits for once.

He seems so much more confident than before. And only refering to the gigs that he's done solo before like the BAFTAs or the Dior event. He seemed a bit nervous there when he was alone. But now, he looks a lot more confident.

Hopefully he'll post something in this outfit on insta as he's looking really good in the full black attire.

Joe today

Video from today.

R162 I wish he would smile normally for pics; he looks good in candids and videos but gets awkward for press photos. Good outfit choice though

He needs to stop doing that downward thing that he does with his mouth in press photos. He's got an amazing smile. Don't get why he doesn't smile in them.

Anyone know who the blond woman with him is?

He and Kit both need an intervention because they do not know how to pose in front of the camera. For the love of god, smile and stop looking like you’re being held hostage.

Yaz is the only one who knows how to pose from the HS cast members.

R168 Will isn’t bad either but he modeled pre show

R166 - presumably one of his management team. His agent maybe or PR rep.

He needs to do something about his eyebrows and his smile when he poses for pictures, if I had that smile I wouldn't have stopped smiling in pics, he's an idiot. Also, he looks abnormal in this pic R162

His normal serious expression is actually a pretty good one but it looks like he couldn’t commit to either serious or smiling in r162.

This photo is a bit better

If he posed properly how he looks in person would match up with how he looks when photographed. Instead he ends up looking like he has a bad smell up his nose. He's so young though, he'll learn

Y'all have so much to say about a teenager who is just starting out in the industry. Better start focusing on your musty selves instead.

R175 Tumblr is that way -->

r166 Pretty sure it’s his stylist, Holly White.

There’s a tiny clip of Joe on the McQueen Tiktok roundup, he looks great.

Tomorrow is NTAs?

R178

Yep they are tomorrow

Everyone knows who is going to win.

Whatever, I’m looking forward to seeing what he’s going to wear.

Would love to see him in the corset that he was thinking of wearing to the BAFTAs.

R180

I mean we all know it. its not some secret even though i really do wish that Joe wins it.

I’m glad they’ve got a general show award too (which I really hope they win) - I’m sure they’ll be over the moon to win that.

did the last kit thread get deleted?

Yes, two Kit threads have been deleted in a row. I don’t think this old thread is actually paywalled.

R186 It is paywalled, sadly. Could a new one be set up with a totally different name, like Ronnoc Tik (his name backwards)?

At the Attitude Awards today. Joe is looking so good.

R188 I love his outfit, fashionably slutty - good job joe

R187 There is a lot of overlap between all these threads. Do we need a Kit thread? The generic Heartstopper thread that nobody ever uses is still open.

Hopefully his poses are better in the HD pictures compared to yesterday's pics cause this outfit is just so good.

Or there's this one because apparently they want to fuck

I’m loving Joe’s outfit. I also hope he wins some kind of award tonight.

R193. Same there’s some sort of breakout thing. He really deserves it

As it's the Attitude Awards, I'm hoping it's Joe they will give more importance to today. Like how they focused on Yaz last time around.

R195 Agree. We all know who is taking it home tomorrow at the NTA'S tomorrow. It's kinda obvious. So, I really hope Joe is given importance today. And not just for being a breakout star. But for also using his platform for a good cause back at his home place.

r188 I like that Will and Yaz are in muted colors and Joe and Kit are in brighter ones. It feels lightly coordinated.

He can genuinely wear pretty much any colour. He looks fantastic

It fits him really nicely too. Wow

You can definitely tell when he wears clothes tailored to fit him. This look is fantastic.

(I don’t think his chest is actually bare and he’s wearing a sheerish shirt? But I’m not sure.)

R202 I get why the men on the crew members dating app wanted to hook up with Joe.

He's not actually bare-chested, is he? Looks like a semi-transparent top to me.

I don't think he is. It looks like mesh.

R203 I agree. At first I thought he was wearing a necklace, but I think that’s his shirt collar. Great look.

Joe and Kit being interviewed.

paywalled, new thread
