By Hilary Lewis. I think intrinsically, shows are what they are. You have to bring back to the show and comfort that you want. We started off with four different girls, a different combination. There was a shake-up in the middle. It was rocky at first. They learned more about each other. They grew as people.
They had major revelations together, and then they had some wins, and they got to, at the end of the day, sit on a couch with a bunch of Cheetos and just be together. That is something that needs to be followed up on. Whitney starts putting her mental health first and forces the school athletic board to address those issues for student-athletes. Still, Noble previously said that he wanted to see the Sex Lives characters through college , which means any future installments might need to proceed at a faster pace after the first three seasons only covered three semesters.
One of the things that happens towards the end is Bela discovering her bisexuality through her attraction to Haley Belle Adams. How long had you thought that that might be a development for that character? Because Bela seemed like someone who really was really into having sex with men. There have been, truly for years, eagle-eyed viewers who are like spotting little things about Bela and commenting on it.
And I think that the most true version of that that we talked about in the writers room with a lot of the queer writers is, like a lot of times that starts with, perhaps overcompensating. I just love abs so much, because every magazine cover has always told me to love abs so much. Yeah, [episodes] nine and 10 happened a little quick, but I think that it was just time to, like, tell the story after Arvind Nabeel Muscatwalla was kind of a chapter closed.
I think a lot of it also plays into, like, South Asian stereotypes that I think Amrit, as a performer, was really interested in exploring. So, comedically, dramatically, it worked. But once that chapter was closed, I think Bela was truly free to explore something new that was perhaps better suited to her as an actual personal fit.
