In a recent interview with Xtra, Tierney was asked about the sexualities of stars Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie and their relevance to the show. Tierney responded, \u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s any reason to get into that stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n
He further explained the casting process, stating, \u201cI\u2019ll tell you something about the casting of both of these roles. You can\u2019t ask questions like that when you\u2019re casting, right? It\u2019s actually against the law. So what you have to gauge is somebody\u2019s enthusiasm and willingness to do the work.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
