In an increasingly hellish landscape, Queer stories matter all the more.
Lisa had, maybe, two minutes of screentime, but I've written thousands of words for her character over the years; all in connection, of one sort or another, with Dawn in a couples relationship. Also, and it was relatively recently that I realised how unusual it was, I made an unconscious decision to have her be raised by a single father.
Every time I come with a story idea about Lisa and her relationship with Dawn, I also discover more about her relationship with her Dad; he, however, is not yet ready to talk about her Mother, and the love of his life who he has never felt able to replace, even slightly, in hius heart.
She must have been something special; as are they.
