so what advice would kit connor and joe locke give their younger selves at the start of their own heartstopper journeys, before the sudden fame and pressure of carrying a cultural juggernaut?
“just enjoy it,” locke says immediately. “it’s a very weird and strange and stressful thing, and i know i got in my head about it.”
connor looks over like a protective older brother. “i’d probably say something similar. it shouldn’t be scary. heartstopper is one of the more beautiful things you could ever do. so embrace the beauty of it.”
having each other helped. “i can’t imagine how you’d deal with it on your own,” locke says. “it’s happened to all of us at the same time, so it’s really nice to just have that support. especially as it’s such a unique thing.”
connor’s and locke’s final heartstopper scenes together took place in burnham park in buckinghamshire, a location that has appeared throughout the series. “it was just us two, which is a nice way to end it, like a very nice loving scene,” says locke, smiling.
