The coming-of-age teen dramedy Hulu series Love, Victor comes to a sweet and satisfying conclusion with the release of its’ third season this past week. Serving as a spin-off television series to Love, Simon, Hulu’s Love, Victor has tackled a few of the many issues teens face, especially young LGBT people.

Besides Victor, the character we see grow and develop the most through the seasons is probably Bebe Wood‘s charactar Lake who experiencing a sexual awakening this season, similar to the journey Victor took on in the first season. Through her intimate chemistry with Lucy (Ava Capri), we see a more vulnerable and sensitive side to Lake we’re not used to seeing.

When the series premiered in 2020, Anthony Keyvan‘s Rahim and Ava Capri‘s Lucy were far from being introduced in the show. However, as the series comes to a conclusion, they each certainly could classify as fan favorites from audiences.

Keyvan and Capri each speak to what it was like boarding the show midway through, the challenges that came with that, and how they were able to seamlessly integrate into the world of Love, Victor. Keyvan shares where we find Rahim at the beginning of season three after being caught in a love triangle with Victor and Benji from the previous season. We also hear from Capri on what it was like working so closely with Bebe Wood (Lake) as she comes to terms with her newly discovered sexual identity.
