It’s been a bittersweet year for Heartstopper fans. After six graphic novels, two novellas and three seasons of a TV show, The Heartstopper Universe has concluded with the new feature-length film, Heartstopper Forever. It’s been a joy to watch this phenomenal cast of characters offering up much-needed queer visibility and hope. To commemorate the occasion, we’re delighted to have Corinna Brown and Kizzy Edgell on the cover of our magazine one last time.
This is what Corinna and Kizzy had to say on…
Their friendship IRL: “I love her. I can’t imagine a world in which we would have met, except for the show. We’re really different, but she’s my biggest supporter.” – Kizzy
Their message to the Heartstopper community: “Keep living your lives, taking up space and speaking your truth.” – Corinna
The importance of visibility: “I didn’t think I’d get the role because everyone fancies Tara in school. You don’t ever see this as a person who looks like me.” – Corinna
What happens to #Tarcy after Heartstopper Forever: “They’ll both figure out their way, no matter what.” – Kizzy
