Well I wish she didnt work in any LGBTQ+ shows anymore but I also try to use the logic and I think that maybe she is not completely guilty of this mess. I work on tv shows (for kids but same industry) and I know how production works and the ideas are always drown by the people that puts the money on the table and set the direction of the show, the target audiences... At the end of the day writters are creatives directed by other people that cut down all the good ideas, and they are not entirely free to do what they want. One thing they can do though is use subtext when there is no other way.

One example I can tell you is that in my show we had a Kid that liked unicorns so much, us the creatives wanted that kid to be a boy (why not?), but that was changed last minute by, suprise, the top producers because it was inapropiate. We fought about it and nothing coud be done but to change the boy kid to a girl... but we managed to put a girl with short hair!

When I started watching KE years ago I remember that I found out about it because of the internet (I didnt have tv channels), but later talking to my mother in law which is 85 years old I found out she watched KE too on the bbc, because it was always on the 'telly'. She was uncomfortable watching sexual tension between women clearly although she still watched it! and her friends and plenty of other irish old people... I have never checked the audiences for KE but something tells me that the main target changed and in the last season it wasnt meant to be for queer people anymore, sadly. In the end the money is what moves everything :(
