‘Darren and Ca$h are endgame’: Heartbreak High stars share season 3 hopes

Spoilers ahead for Heartbreak High season 2. James Majoos and Will McDonald are hoping for some “stability” for their beloved Heartbreak High couple in an unconfirmed (hurry up Netflix!) third season. The stars respectively play Darren Rivers and Douglas “Ca$h” Pigott on the Australian teen drama, which follows the students of Hartley High as they navigate various issues surrounding sexuality, identity, race, consent, assault and – duh – teen angst.

‘My life is stranger than fiction’: Chrishell on Selling Sunset, G-Flip and coming out

Chrishell Stause discusses Selling Sunset season eight, her “fierce protectiveness” over partner G-Flip and her upcoming London show, Up Close and Personal.  WORDS BY ALICE MOREY HEADER BY YOSEF PHELAN When we see the glossed, polished Chrishell Stause dealing in “multi-million dollar homes” on Selling Sunset, it’s damn near impossible to envisage her life any other way. Before she was one of the world’s  most stylish realtors (in addition to being an Emmy-nominated actress), however, Stause felt “extreme shame” over her experiences with homelessness – a fact she has discussed at large…

9-1-1: Oliver Stark supports Buddie romance if it happens “naturally”

Oliver Stark is in favour of a romance between his and Ryan Guzman‘s 9-1-1 characters if “the story naturally progresses in that way”. Ever since the introduction of Guzman’s firefighter and paramedic Edmundo “Eddie” Diaz” in the procedural drama’s second season, fans have passionately shipped him with Stark’s beloved mainstay Evan “Buck” Buckley, affectionally referring to them under the ship name “Buddie”. With season seven introducing a bisexual storyline for Buck, fans are more determined than ever to see Buddie become a reality. In an interview with GAY TIMES, Stark said he…

9-1-1 star Oliver Stark speaks exclusively with GAY TIMES about Buck’s bisexuality journey, his chemistry with Ryan Guzman and whether Buddie “will end up going there”. WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS PHOTOGRAPHY BY WIL COHEN “I do believe, or at least hope, they seem to be dying out,” laughs Oliver Stark. The British actor is manifesting the much-needed and deserved extinction of 9-1-1’s anti-LGBTQIA+ mob, who were – sadly, but predictably – out in full force after his mainstay character Evan “Buck” Buckley embraced his status as a bi-con in the procedural…

Wreck creator Ryan J. Brown discusses the long-awaited second season of BBC’s slasher comedy series with stars Miya Ocego and Sam Buttery. WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS HEADER BY YOSEF PHELAN With a switch from slasher to folk horror, the absence of the Sacramentum and the savage deaths of beloved heroes, “safe” isn’t a word that can be associated with the second season of Wreck. “I just wanted to come back with a bang, and I think we’ve created a space for those things to happen now,” writer and creator Ryan J.
