"In her life, in the show, [she's] in a very codependent six-year relationship with her girlfriend [Jesse, played by Alyah Chanelle Scott] where Harper feels like she's the caretaker and has outgrown that role. The Riverdale actress also explains the "resentment" Harper feels towards Jesse comes from "having to take care of her and be the person who puts the plan together." This, Reinhart shares, is something the character has done for her brother and father before."
"So, when Harper's 24, she's at this point where she's like, 'Wait, can I be taken care of?' And we find out that she has a coworker who she's really drawn to romantically because this woman is a mother and she's a caretaker," Reinhart went on to say. "Harper's really intrigued at that dynamic of what's it like to be now taken care of instead of the other way around," she continued."
Hal & Harper follows adult siblings Hal and Harper in Los Angeles who reassess their past after their father announces he is having a baby. Harper is portrayed as queer and has always identified as gay, living in a codependent six-year relationship with her girlfriend Jesse in which Harper assumes the caretaker role and has begun to outgrow it. Harper harbors resentment from repeatedly having to plan and care for others, a pattern that extends to caring for her brother and father. At 24, Harper grapples with the desire to be cared for and becomes romantically drawn to a coworker who is a mother and caretaker, intrigued by experiencing the reverse dynamic.
