In real life, there is one school day in Year 9 that Heartstopper fan Sharan, who uses the pronoun they, will never forget.

James believes the Heartstopper storyline might encourage those who are struggling in the community to reach out for help.

Heartstopper’s author, Alice Oseman, was heavily involved with the Netflix show and was keen to illustrate that the route to getting better isn’t always clear - but is possible with the right support.

Sharan says Heartstopper has become a real talking point among friends.

And she picked up a new wave of fans in 2022 when her song Why Am I Like This was used in a pivotal scene of Netflix's coming-of-age drama Heartstopper.
