On the new students enrolling in Palos Hills High School:
"We’ve got two gay characters named Theo [played by Evan Crooks] and Cole [played by Monty Geer]. As gay writers, it’s obviously important to us to have gay characters on a TV show, so we looked at what we hadn’t seen on TV yet, and we liked the idea of these gay guys whose sexuality wasn’t the most important thing in their lives. They are a bit obnoxious, kind of in the tradition of Stifler from American Pie or Beavis and Butthead — they just happen to be gay."
The show is also adding a new love interest for Matty (Eva played by Elizabeth Whitson) and Toby (played by Kofi Siriboe), a transfer student from Africa.
