Their realities are different in terms of their sexual needs.
We tried to be really delicate around it, but also honest.
Darren makes mistakes just like any young person and it feels very truthful.
Im interested to see how people respond to the relationship.
Theres a point where Darren tries to change themselves so that make it work.
What do you think they learned about how to go about working on a relationship?
Towards the end of the season, theres a tenderness between them, but its still ongoing.
Their story does end in trust for Darren and Cash.
Can you talk about what you remember from filming that scene?
With Malakai, also being a person of color, Darren is about to tell him how it is.
It was a nice thing for Tom because we dont have many scenes together.
That is an important message, not just for Malakai, but to any viewer to hear as well.
What do you think that storyline says about how friendships can handle change?
Their foundation is love and before it was Darren and Cash, it was Quinni and Darren.
Theyve always been there for each other and there wouldnt be a Quinni without Darren or Darren without Quinni.
They complete each other but are completely different people, so they explore that this season.
Can you talk about how Darren has built their chosen family these two seasons?
Thats a great question.
Its been really special to see Darren find their feet and their people.
Queer people know how important a second family is, which has been lovely to explore further this season.
