The actor, showrunner Steve Blackman and writer Thomas Page McBee discuss how they connected Viktor's transition story to season two, the kind curiosity of his siblings, maintaining his relationship with sister Allison, and that end-of-the-world dance moment.
I think Elliot deserves so much credit, which I’m sure he doesn’t want to take, because of the humble guy he is, just in terms of offering himself to us as a way to create an authentic story. Because we did have such a constraint production-wise, as I think people have reported on, in terms of just where it lined up with when Elliot disclosed that he was trans and the scripts being locked and so on. So we really had to just get to the spirit and heart of this story so quickly.
You noted that you had GLAAD in the beginning and Thomas you were brought on to write. Which means that for this story something that’s still pretty rare happened: you had input at nearly every stage. How did having so many voices representing Viktor in so many different places help? I’ll let Elliot take the part on set. I can just say for myself and Thomas, it was much trickier.
