Heartstopper 105: Friend, with Ryan & Riley from Cara-Friend

Joining Jamie this week for a Proper Full-On Gay Crisis are Ryan and Riley from Cara-Friend NI.  We chat our way through Heartstopper Chatper 5 - Friend and have really interesting conversations about being a "secret";  how Nick has a responsibility to help Imogen become an empowered Girl Boss and the heartbreak we've all felt on wrong side of a teenage crush. We also highlight why Mariocart follows Nick and Charlie into many romantic moments, and explore the many heartbursting moments for Charlie, Tao, Nick and Elle.  Make fear of missing out a thing of the past - listen now! About Proper Full-On Gay Crisis Proper  Full-On Gay Crisis is an LGBTQIA+ podcast which draws  inspiration from Alice Oseman’s graphic novels & Netflix series Heartstopper.  Each week guest hosts from  the UK & Irelands leading LGBTQIA+  Youth Organisations join the  show to relive favourite Heartstopper  moments and  bring the experiences of our favourite characters to life  in the real world.  We explore the challenges  that queer youth overcome and talk about  the work that our partner organisations do to support young people  across the UK & Ireland. Episode Description from Wikipedia Nick, played by Kit Connor, is about to cancel the date with Imogen when she reveals that her  dog died, and Nick reverts his plan because he feels sorry for her.  Charlie, played by Joe Locke, invites Nick to his 15th birthday celebration, which happens to  be on the same day as Nick's date, but he decides to be with Charlie.  Tao tells Charlie about Nick and Imogen. Nick overhears the two of them,  later clarifying to Charlie before explicitly admitting his feelings for him, which Charlie reciprocates. The next day, Nick explains to Imogen that he does not like her romantically. Imogen thanks him for his  honesty.
