As the countdown to season 2 of the mega-hit series Heated Rivalry heats up, Connors is spilling the tea on his character Sasha and the whirlwind fame of his co-stars Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams. “I hope they’re doing okay,” he says, showing his support for the duo who have skyrocketed to A-list status since the show’s debut.
In season 1, Connors’ character Sasha was the messy ex of Ilya Rozanov, and fans are clamoring for his return. “There’s a whole subculture in the fandom of people who are super pro-Sasha and wanting to see him back,” Connors explains. “I’m open for all!” With the creator hinting that season 2 will draw from Rachel Reid’s The Long Game, there’s hope that Sasha will play a pivotal role in the unfolding drama.
“He’s a perfect mechanism for conflict,” Connors adds, teasing the tension that his character brings to the table. As the show continues to gain traction, the leading men are navigating their newfound fame, and Connors can only imagine the pressure they face. “I can only imagine how overwhelming and stressful that could have been at times, but clearly, they’re doing an incredible job. They have the right support around them,” he states, proving that the camaraderie among cast members is as strong as ever.
But it’s not just about Sasha’s potential comeback. Connors is also buzzing about the love story between Ilya and Shane Hollander, which is set to expand in the upcoming season. “When the kids marry them with the Ring Pop, I remember that was hands down my favorite moment in the whole book. I actually got emotional, because it just was so pure and precious,” he reminisces, hinting at the heartwarming scenes fans can look forward to.
While fans eagerly await the next chapter of Heated Rivalry, Connors is keeping busy with his latest project, Lunar Sway. In this quirky comedy, he plays the ex-boyfriend of a small-town guy navigating the return of his estranged birth mother. “It’s a dive into the misadventures of this young guy who’s figuring himself out and finding love in all the wrong places. It definitely takes so many turns. It’s very fun for a lot of viewers!” he enthuses.
Lunar Sway just wrapped a successful run at the Brooklyn Film Festival and is set for a US theatrical release later this year. So, whether you’re rooting for Sasha’s return or just want to catch up with Kaden’s latest antics, there’s plenty to look forward to in the world of Heated Rivalry and beyond!
