It's actually wild how they managed to get this big ensemble cast and give each of them so much development in just 8 30-minute episodes! So many shows drop the ball on this where characters get sidelined, but Heartstopper really did right by all of them this season

I don’t think it’s unrealistic most of them are queer- we flock together😂 like it makes sense the friendgroup would find each other🤷🏻‍♀️

I think it was established in ep 8 of Heartstopper that Imogen is a lesbian. It's not said explicitly, but she talks a lot about comphet with Nick and says that she doesn't think that she's ever actually liked a boy. Her little monologue, for me, is one of the best representations I've ever seen of how I felt working through my comphet and realizing I was a lesbian—like I had to pause the episode and take a moment because, for a moment, I just saw myself in Imogen.

I do definitely agree though that her and Sahar's relationship is very much still left in the air and I can't wait to see where it goes.

As someone who has suffered and still does suffer with an eating disorder I personally thought the way they handled Charlie's eating disorder was done really well. I usually hate when shows do and ED because the way it's done is very patronizing in my opinion like magically going to one therapy appointment doesn't fix everything. But the way it was handled in the show made me cry so much because I have been in Charlie's shoes of lashing out at my friends, skipping meals with my family and feeling like I couldn't tell anyone.

as a therapist, i absolutely loveeddd the representation of mental health this season, especially how they did say he got lucky that the rehab helped without invalidating or dismissing those who do have bad experiences at such spaces.

I literally loveeee how Imogen had a queer awakening but didn't just get coupled off. like a lot of shows portray gay awakenings as you have it, then date the person, which is usually not the case. and i love how they showed how real comphet can seem.

I’m pretty sure that Imogen is a lesbian and dealing with comphet because she said that she’s never crushed on boys just liked the idea of them xx

One thing tho it’s heavily implied that Imogen is actually lesbian, not bi/pan

You forgotten to mention Tori who had a a bit of character development

I loved Isaac's story this season and that he got more attention on him in general, he definitely feels like a more fully rounded character now. Also, while I'm not ace or aro, as a trans man who realised my identity in my 30s I really related to him when he talked about how realising he was ace and aro changed everything he thought he knew about himself and his life and his future. I've never seen that talked about before but I feel a lot of trans and queer people experience that.

No one knows what the ending is cause the final book isn't out yet , also they aren't going to uni right away , 6th form is 2 year ( year 12+13 ) . Nick and the others just finished 1st year of 6th form , so they still have a year left . Season 4 isn't going to be set in college, the ending is probably gonna be a send off to college .

I like how obsessed Nick and Charlie are with each other but I agree it isn’t healthy like his aunt said and when he kept saying he can’t leave because it would hurt Charlie while true I was suspecting he also didn’t want to leave him for himself as well so I’m glad he was able to admit at the end that it was for him as well

My personal opinion this is mine with how heartstopper is I think you have to think about the timeline like there is some really personal things like stuff you don’t share with your crush which all of heartstopper from my personal opinion on watching it, you’re watching through the eyes of Nick and Charlie.

You have the first season the crush season the will they won’t they. That phase that is very common irl relationships

Then the honeymoon phase, where you’re still getting to know the other person but it’s all rainbows and butterflies

Then you have the third season where you get to learn more about the other. The worst parts , the best parts this is like usually when people tend to break up but with Nick and Charlie it’s showing how strong their relationship is

I hate when ppl say it’s unrealistic 😭 it’s a TV SHOW OFC ITS NOT REALISTIC?! Like if you watched a zombie you wouldn’t complain it’s unrealistic BECAUSE ITS NOT REAL ITS MEANT TO BE A ESCAPE FROM REALITY IMAGINE IF ALL SHOWS WERE REALISTIC THAT WOULD BE MISERABLE 😭😭

Sahar didn't realise she was bi when they made out at Halloween, she says shes bi in season 2 after Imogen say can't say she's the token ally when Sahar is there too.
And Imogen isn't bi or pan, she's gay. She says to Nick she doesn't think she ever actuslly liked a boy, she just wanted a boyfriend because she thought that's what she was meant to want and she also enjoyed getting attention from boys. She didn't realise she was queer before now because of compulsive heterosexuality. Even in season 1 when Nick says he doesn't like her romantically she says 'but we've been friends for years' and likewise in season 2 she said she's known Ben for years - she didn't know what romantic attraction felt like because she's not romantically attracted to boys so she mistook her strong platonic feelings for her long time friends who are male as romantic.
Also she doesn't kiss Sahar after they agree to be friends, she kisses her at Halloween and new years and they have a conversation where Imogen admits she realises she's not straight at Charlie's birthday which I think is in April? Sahar then says they'd be terrible as a couple which Imogen agrees with, but based on the fact Sahar wrote a song about her and Imogen still seeming into Sahar at the end of the season it did feel like they were setting them up to get together in season 4.
Also, i dont think she's ever openly said how she identifies but we haven't seen anything to duggest that Elle is queer so it may be that Tao is not the only straight member of the main cast.

I really enjoyed binge watching Heartstopper S3. The season definitely dealt with more emotionally heavier topics than the first 2 seasons. But, I feel that there were so many great messages that the story was able to convey because of those emotionally heavy stories. One of my favorite scenes is where Nick’s aunt tells him that love can’t cure a mental illness and that people need more support and love than one person can give. I also like how the scene of Charlie with his therapist Geoff reinforces the same themes. Charlie tells Geoff that he’s beginning to realize the value in the other relationships he has apart from his romantic partnership with Nick. Familial and platonic relationships are super important and I do feel that sometimes media makes them seem less important or secondary to romantic ones. So I love that Heartstopper incorporated the importance of all kinds of healthy, loving relationships into the overarching themes of the season. Apart from the really great messages, I really enjoyed how vibrant the outfits and background settings were this season!

Imogen didn’t kiss Sahar after their discussion to be friends. That discussion happened in the tent at Charlie's birthday party in April. She kissed Sahar at the previous Halloween and New Year's parties.

Charlie's problems this season were so well-written. I didn't think they'd be able to go too far into it because then shows only a 12, but I cried so much because it was so realistic. This was definitely the deepest season so far but I absolutely loved it

The vibe I got is that Imogen is a lesbian!! She said that she doesn't think she's actually liked a boy before

One of my closest friends is suffereing from an ED, and I think how they handled parts of Charlies ED was really good. Charlie lashing out at his friends, the way the treatment he went through did not fix him - its like a mirror of what I witnessed happening to my friend. Thank you Heartstopper for this representation!!
