Author Alice Oseman Reveals Her Stan Lee Moment in Netflix’s &#8216;Heartstopper&#8217; That Everybody Failed to Notice

Heartstopper is probably the most adorable series right now streaming on
Netflix. Before the Netflix adaptation was announced, Nick and Charlie already
had too many people cheering on their relationship thanks to Alice Oseman’s
webcomic. To her credit, the 27-year-old has managed to lend a voice to the
people on the spectrum through her webcomic. And now the actors Kit Connor and
Joe Locke have breathed life into the characters. They play Nick and Charlie
respectively. 

Although fans have been quick to notice the small details in the series like the
school crest

shapes, they have failed to observe this little Alice Oseman moment.


THE SURPRISE ALICE OSEMAN CAMEO IN HEARTSTOPPER

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

In a recent podcast [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pSn5XPpD58], the author
has jokingly revealed her Stan Lee moment. She disclosed to the hosts that she’s
sitting right beside the love birds on the train in episode 8. Furthermore, if
you look closely you can also spot her YA novels sitting on Charlie’s bookshelf.
At one point, Isaac is even reading one of them. 

Well, you’d really need to rewatch the series countless times to spot these tiny
details that the creators and Alice herself have slid in!

DID YOU KNOW CONNOR WANTED TO PLAY CHARLIE?

It’s hard to imagine anyone else playing Charlie if not Joe. But they could have
swapped roles. Nick actor Kit had auditioned
[https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/heartstopper-kit-connor-audition-charlie-newsupdate/]
for the role of Charlie because he just loved the character. But he knew he
wouldn’t land the role because he was far from the character’s physical
description. 


IS THE SHOW RENEWED FOR A SECOND SEASON?

Netflix [https://netflixjunkie.com/category/news] hasn’t commissioned a second
season of Heartstopper. [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/heartstopper/] But since
the show has received so much love, it’s likely that the streamer will ask for
more episodes.

Set in an all-boys English school, the British show encapsulates the high school
experience of LGBTQ youth perfectly. Nick and Charlie are two entirely opposite
personalities and yet they are attracted to each other. What follows is a moving
tale about young love and finding oneself.
