Talk:Zach
Does anyone honestly think Zach is straight? I mean, there has been a clear amount of evidence that he's gay, but NBC has declared him "straight". Which I find kind of annoying. Do they think audiences aren't ready to see (gasp) a gay teenager with self-esteem on TV? Zephyrial 16:50, 26 January 2007 (EST)
- I've to say that I didn't asked myself the question until know but it's true that he seems to be gay by his way of doing things! --FrenchFlo 16:54, 26 January 2007 (EST)
- From Krieg's interview with Out Magazine... (I followed the link [[1]] on the page and got this)
- "NBC’s upcoming fall drama Heroes, created by Crossing Jordan exec producer Tim Kring, features a diverse international cast and depicts the fallout in ordinary people’s lives when, due to an evolutionary leap, they discover they have extraordinary unexplained abilities. Heroes will feature a gay character, according to Kring and Fuller, who is now writing for the show. In the pilot a popular high school cheerleader with superhuman invulnerability selects a loner from her class to divulge her secret to—though he’s not revealed as gay in that episode. Kring admits, “I’m feeling a little odd about it, because I literally haven’t even discussed it with the actor yet.”
- On the network that brought us Will & Grace, there’s still resistance even to peripheral queer characters. Fuller says, “There was a moment on the set where [Kring] was with an NBC executive, who shall remain nameless, and the exec said, ‘Hmm, you need to watch [the cheerleader’s friend] because that character could be interpreted as gay.’ And Tim said, ‘Why do we need to watch that?’ ”
- Kring hints that there may be queers in the second wave of rotating characters. “I am intrigued by a gay character front and center, and we are openly discussing it in the studio and in the writers’ room now,” says Kring, undaunted by network resistance. “It doesn’t scare me at all to do that, and it’s always been a battle with networks on that sort of thing. There’s a subversiveness that you’re forced to think about these things with. You try to come in through a side door.”"
- So... yeah. Stupid NBC. Zephyrial 16:56, 26 January 2007 (EST)
