[@Agustina-mm9eb]

He is the perfect Nick Nelson. Nick is So important to us bisexuals fans. He is such an amazing character and he touched so many people. I was particularly scared about his irl adaptation, and I was ready to be a bit disappointed to be honest but Kit did a beautiful job! You can feel how much respect and love he has for his character and the story. He is brilliant (and God, so young). I'm so glad Alice and the casting team found this boy, feels a bit like fate.

[@kenadialbrecht474]

I’m not kidding, I’ve watched heartstopper more than 10 times over the past week and all of kits facial expressions and reactions still give me chills. He’s the best possible person for this role I literally can’t imagine anyone else, none of the fancasts I’ve seen have even slightly measured up. Seriously love this show so much it made me cry throughout the whole thing. When I was like 12-15 I was watching international movies on illegal websites because America had no real gay movies where we’re the main characters and we have real stories and happy endings, even those were sad and slow burn stories. I can’t believe how lucky we are to have this sort of thing be produced on Netflix right now I can’t even put into words how cool this is 😭 I can’t stop watching it because this feels like a dream

[@muffim_tv]

yeah, i agree! especially the scene where nick runs to charlie’s in the rain, and he’s talking about being so confused. i related to that a lot and kit did that scene perfectly, it made me cry.

[@stevenreid4634]

Earlier I felt like the fact that I've watched it all the way through 4 times was a bit excessive. Now I feel like a slacker.

[@soulsurfer1406]

Oh my god, same! *sobbing* I love him so much and this series has helped me realize so much about myself! He is the perfect actor for this role. I have all of the songs from the series in my playlist and pics of them as my phone backgrounds... I'm obsessed. One of my favorite scenes is the rain scene. Also, when Tara and Darcy kiss at the party to "Clearest Blue" oh my godddd the SHIVERS! I cry every time I hear the song :')

[@nikit.5240]

Agree with you on this. I rewatch Heartstopper many times for different reasons but my 5th one is dedicated solely to appreciate Kit's acting as Nick. He is so good!

This is the one show I have watched an unhealthy amount of times and still get the same twitterpatting feeling of being in love. From being happy to being extremely sad that I couldn’t be as brave as any of the characters during my chikdhood years, Heartstopper made me feel the emotions I kept bottled for so long as a closeted gay. I will definitely cry if they don’t get renewed for a second season.

[@ivsmart6]

This kid is absolutely fantastic as an actor … the way he portrayed Nick actually brought a relatively average romantic drama to new heights … I was in awe for eight episodes …

[@LenaLovesgoodStories]

Kit, the things you do with your face when playing Nick are INCREDIBLE. Despite this being a completely different character it reminded me of Ian McKellen's Gandalf, who also carried so much of the story in his facial expressions. Great. Especially when you play Nick's confession at the beginning of episode 4 - it's all in your face: the confusion, the anguish, the wonder, the fear. The dialogue becomes unnecessary because your face says it all. But that's by far not the only scene. Also, I am really grateful that Nick was scripted this way that allowed you to play him in such an emotional way! Our movies are full of male characters with stern faces who shed the occasional lonely tear and then go back to business. In the way nick allows for and displays his feelings, he is a role model for boys and men of all ages and sexual orientation, I think. And you bring that across. It's when nick is the most emotional (und thus vulnerable in the traditional sense) that he is the strongest. Thanks a lot for this performance!

I never thought I would fall in love with the series. It took me back decades ago to my high school memories like coming to terms with my identity, coming out to people who matter, dealing with the many issues that I faced and that many kids face today. These in turn, made me feel for the characters and eventually made me relate on an emotional level. Kit Connor and Joe Locke are just incredibly talented and breathed a relatable life into the roles.

As a Greek fan of heartstopper, I couldn't be more honored to be part of this fandom. Unfortunatelly we don't have many influences about the LGBTQ+ community and Heartstopper was that influence we needed. It helped me realize more about myself and love me more.
