Alice Oseman and Producer Patrick Walters Never Imagined Bagging THIS Secret Star to Cast in Netflix &#8216;Heartstopper&#8217;

The much-awaited series, Heartstopper, just landed on Netflix. Ever since the
streamer announced that it was working on the adaptation of the popular graphic
novel, fans have been waiting for their beloved pair to arrive on screen. And
now that it finally has, it has blown the viewers away with a special appearance
that no one expected. Author, Alice Oseman and executive producer, Patrick
Walters packed a nice little surprise for the fans in this moving tale about
youth and love. 


WHO AND NOT WHAT IS THE BIG SURPRISE?

Prior to the show’s premiere, the streamer had revealed the entire cast except
for one – Nick’s mother. Olivia Coleman playing Nick’s mum in the series
bewildered the fans. Olivia is not only the UK’s darling but a Netflix’s
[https://netflixjunkie.com/category/news] favorite as well. She starred in two
acclaimed projects – The Crown [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-crown] and
Lost Daughter.  [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/lost-daughter]

Her appearance in Heartstopper [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/heartstopper] on
Netflix was unexpected even for the creators. Patrick had never expected her to
accept the role offer. 

“It was always a dream. I was talking to Alice and suggested Oliva Colman play
Nick’s mum and it felt like a total fantasy. That would be brilliant but that’s
incredibly unlikely.” So we only sent the part to her and she said yes!” he
said.

Even Alice found the idea ridiculous. 

“I literally thought this was the stupidest idea ever. I thought there was no
way she would want to be a part of this or any one famous would want to be a
part of this. I was proven wrong!”

WHICH SCENE IN HEARTSTOPPER MOVED NETFLIX STAR OLIVIA COLEMAN TO TEARS? 

Patrick further shared that the emotional coming out scene moved the Oscar
Winner to tears. 

“In their scene when he’s coming out to her in the rehearsal she was just
looking at Kit (Nick) and his performance was so moving she just burst into
tears and forgot her lines.”

In the final episode, Nick comes out as bisexual to his mother. But instead of
shunning his son, she embraces him.

The actress had made time out of her busy schedule to shoot the poignant scene
for two days. We aren’t surprised how beautifully the scene turned out because
Colman’s previous project saw her being an unconventional mother
