Exclusive: Darragh Hand Teases "Sad & Beautiful" Goodbye In 'Heartstopper: Forever'
"The first season ends with Liam piecing together the truth about Greta's disappearance. As teens back in school, the girls helped Greta bury the body of a journalist (Josh Finan) who threatened to expose the truth about her role in a tragic fire as a young child. When the past catches up with Greta, she fakes her own death with a secret organization that helps women in dire situations."
"The kind but stoic Gardalends a delightful frisson to the Netflix series (streaming now), as he develops a romantic connection with one of the posse, TV writer Saoirse (Roísín Gallagher). "Liam's a natural kind of protector. He has a softness that comes from genuinely caring about the work he does and the people he interacts with, and I think that was quite important," Hand tells Bustle over Zoom. "Because he's also a young man who perhaps is still figuring out who he is.""
Three thirty-something friends travel to a Donegal wake and discover their old school friend Greta has faked her death. As teenagers they helped bury a journalist who threatened to expose Greta's role in a tragic childhood fire, and that buried secret resurfaces with devastating consequences. A kind, stoic Garda named Liam investigates and forms a romantic connection with TV writer Saoirse while helping the friends confront shared trauma. Liam locates the journalist's burial site and aids a cathartic reunion, complicating justice and closure. The series mixes mystery, dark revelations, and Scooby-Doo–inspired hijinks with emotional catharsis.
