, in the summer of 2019. But it took another 18 months for the TV adaptation to land at Netflix, with Oseman attached as a first-time screenwriter and Euros Lyn as the director.
Connor said that Charlie stands out to Nick initially because he’s so different from the rest of Nick’s friends. “He’s very much more introverted and a lot more genuine in a lot of ways and genuinely truthful to himself and confident in himself,” Connor said. “Even just aside from his sexuality, Charlie is more confident in his own personality than a lot of the others.”
Locke added: “For Charlie, he likes Nick right away, he knows what that feeling is, he’s already gone on the journey that Nick goes through. But the hug is definitely the first time where he thinks, ‘Maybe this might actually be a thing?!’” Connor said he and Locke thought about how when Nick and Charlie first met, Nick was more confident and in control, while Charlie was more nervous. But before they kiss for the first time, that dynamic is “kind of turned on its head, and Charlie takes the lead and sort of guides Nick through, which I think is beautiful,” Connor said. “We really wanted to capture, with that scene, the feeling of the unknown.
For Locke, the fact that the cast has received “so many messages of people just feeling seen for the first time and feeling like they can see themselves on-screen” has been extremely meaningful. He was particularly struck by supportive messages from older members of the LGBTQ community, who have marveled at the significant strides in queer representation but also felt slightly “melancholic,” wishing they could have had a show like “Heartstopper” growing up.
