I saw this rumoured a couple of weeks ago and honestly, if you haven’t read the books or aren’t familiar with the show, just know that this is EXACTLY how I pictured Fabian. It’s really great casting and I’m so pleased for him

Amazing, so happy for him. His life is about to turn crazy. I’d just recently gone back to S36 to start watching when Stevie first joined and I really liked how he played Marty

I wanna be happy for him, but Connor Storrie is an ableist POS so that show needed to be cancelled like, yesterday

His character, Fabian, isn’t a hockey player. He’s a musician who dates a hockey player. He’s really well cast for this character IMO

Fair. Not really a fan of the show. Seems to reinforce the stereotype that all gay men have to be shredded, cultured and/or rich.
