So I decided not to show any of the speeches of the other candidates because I'm having to stay very conscious of my page count. There is SOOOOO much story in this final volume. So many things are going to happen! And so I can't afford to waste pages if I can help it. So sadly we don't get to see any of the other speeches. But I think we can safely assume none of them are as good as Charlie's :)

Lili

GOOOO CHARLIIEEEE!!!!!!!

Tina

the eyes closed and suddenly it's your turn is SO real in situations like this, i think this works perfectly alice!

Katie H

You can do it Charlie, show everyone how amazing you are!

zara ahmed !!

the final panel?? that’s beautiful! i’m obsessed with the facial expression and shading

Charlie

Who cares about the other speeches when we only really care about Charlie. Good decision I think.

ACxo

YOU GOT THIS CHAR!

raina

you’ve got this char!

Alisha Buchanan

Obviously none are as good as Charlie (cuz he wins 😁).

Tina

also the second guy looks so smug i already dislike him

Katie Swan

So happy to see an update after everything from the past few days in the HS community. Take care of yourself. True fans will always wait. ❤️

dominique

I’m over here cheering for Charlie the same way Darcy was cheering for Nick on the show, when he was about to come out to Imogen hehe 💜

Tina

since sixth form is mixed, could there, theoretically, be a head girl at truham?

Peter G.

Fingers crossed for Charlie!

Harriet Echo

Charlieeeeeee!!!!! 🙏🏻🩷

Merel

Why did I never consider that the other houses had Shakespeare names as well. Is this a common theme in UK schools?

jearle

But what are the other houses!? I vote Othello and Prospero

tess ^_^

did you have the others’ speeches written out? i assume that one of them would say something about cookies again …..

Merel

Let's go Charlie!! Deep breath, you've got this <3

Nyssa Rawther 🍉

The nerves and anxiety would make me have to pee so badly the moment they call my name 😬😬 that 2nd bloke looks super relaxed to be up there. Tiny Charlie in the first panel...🥰🥰 YOU'VE GOT THIS CHARLIEEEE!!!!!

Fran

Uhhh the second guy is giving bad politician vibes

Noemiette

I think with their expressions you did a good job at making us imagine what the other speeches will be like. Especially the 2nd one. He promised cookies at every lunch, didnt he ? XD

Siero

go char u got this!!!!!!!

Maisie

Go on Charlie!! <33

Idaemilie

Char your amazing, of course you can do this 💙🩵 voting 🗳️ for you 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Tui Dougiamas

I like only seeing Charlie’s speech! It feels like we are living his experience, really anxious and everyone else just flying by

Rebecca

I love how much passing time from panel to panel is shown just by Charlie’s blink - it really shows how nervous he is that 3 whole speeches have passed in what felt like a second for him

Bonersniper

Not an artist obviously, but overlapping or tighter panels might help convey the anxiety feelings? Like just sound bits and closeups of mouths and eyes clustered could be really impactful for this and make a fuller looking page

ally

i like that you decided not to show them! it perfectly captures how when we are stressed we tend to be unable to focus on anything, and then soon enough it’s our turn!

K

That's the only thing about the other candidates I care about! 😅

Faye

I can’t wait let me tell you if he mentions Nick in his speech I WILL cry

aliceoseman

No, just something i made up for Heartstopper! At my school, the houses were the surnames of successful women from history!

Katha

…SOOOOO much story… best teaser ever ❤️❤️❤️

Victoria Panaro

This is it!!!! We are getting the speech 🥹🥹🥹🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂👀👀👀👀👀 thank you Alice for this wonderful page Charlie's face in the last panel is making me feel anxious and nervous as if I were him ,but we know he's gonna slay it 🫠🫠😍

Aristine

they do the same in filming! either we dont see the other speeches at all or they’re completely chopped up for time sake while the main/lead gets the focus and their full soeech. totally makes sense!

Barb

Charlie with eyes closed🥹...feels like he took one more deep silent breath to reassure himself he can do it! 🩵

Gray

Chloe ♡

gonna assume that the other speeches was just like the previous years headboy who promises cookies and maybe add in non uniform days for votes

Tanya

Joined the comics tier las week and it is so fun to follow their developing story! Thank you for sharing this world with us Alice, I love every minute I get to spend here. ❤️

Roarrrry

Wooooo Charlie!!!

Noah

CHARLIE WOOOOO if i was there ill be cheering him on so loud

Tina

maybe don't post it and bring it to the attention of people who might not know. obviously alice knows about it and doesn't address it as to not bring even more attention to it. just report the account

Annette Callaghan

Schools use lots of different themes for house names. I live in Wales so our school used Welsh rulers. Llewellyn, Owain Glyndwr, Caradog and Hywel Dda.

Gray

Okay maybe she doesn’t know ? Legally speaking I’m just hoping it’s being taken care of

Carina

COME ON CHARLIE!! 🥳 also the student next to him looks so nervous with the wobbly mouth 😭

shpepanie

Charlie is doing so well concentrating and staying calm. I can hear the deep breaths on the third panel. His body and brain must be in such an enormous fight-or-flight-mode, but he’s coping so well! I’m so excited about the speech, can’t wait!

Dover_Beach

That's fine, we all know Charlie is going to smash it! The speeches can be extra added to S4 if we get it

Chloe ♡

you got this charlie! they always save the best til last 👀

Tina

it's all over the internet, theyre a producer of the show. obviously she knows.

Loveislove

Good gracious he looks adorable in that last panel. And look...you can see room for the head boy badge on his blazer 😉.

Freya

He’s so eepy I love him

Gray

Surely the page would be taken down and so would the links of that were the case ? No need to be snarky about it geez

Tina

i'm not being snarky, i'm just telling you they know and you posting here about it's bringing more attention to it. report the account on twitter and tell others to do the same. no reason to bring it here

Robby C

Char's speech is the only one that matters!

Cody

Maybe the speeches could be a mini comic if you have the time? Such a tease from the last page 😂

Ulises

Wooooo!!!!! Let’s go Charlie!!!!

Merel

Alice is aware of it and Netflix is working on taking everything down

RCM

How is it that you are able to draw an extreme close up view of closed eyes that make us all take a deep breath with (and for!) Charlie?! I mean, it’s like we are right there with him (you’ve got this, Charlie! You are ready!! Breathe. You can do hard things! Look for Nick in the audience. Breathe)🥹 And that last panel, with the 3 empty chairs and only Charlie remaining, really emphasizes that winning Head Student is all on him now. His journey has led him to this very moment…(breathe)❤️‍🩹❤️

San

Go Charlie!!!

Justin S.

This is such a good visual way of showing that, and makes sense in character! Charlie closes his eyes for one minute and oops! You’re up!

Paola✨

AAAAAAAAAA I'm so excited, you'll make it amazing Charlie ✨

Rosana

Of course, none of them will be as amazing as Charlie!

eva cuervo

Alice's mastery of body language never ceases to amaze me. We can get an idea of ​​what the rest of the candidates are like by the posture with which Alice has drawn them. It's amazing!!❤️

Tracy

You got this Charlie xx

lexi

damn he really said macbeth in a theatre with his full chest

Debbie

Aww I love this! Such a big build up! Charlie has adapted to his mental health and grown such strength in regards to realising his potential and that he does have an amazing support network behind him. That's so strong when it comes to managing how you feel about yourself. I know that feeling far too well myself. I remember I tried to do this for head girl and I broke down crying in front of whole year... I don't think Charlie will have that same fate!

Merel

I can't explain it but I just love the way you draw the characters' little faces from far away when you can only see their eyes

Abi

Honestly the pages , ALL the pages it’s fiiiiiine!! 🤣 luckily the drawing of the candidates is so good we know what they’ve said 😁😁

Sulagna Maitra

Don't even worry about it, Alice! In this part of the novella, we have been seeing Nick's pov, and let's be honest, he is not going to remember what anyone else said! 🫢🤣 I am sure all the boys did good speeches, but Charlie's has to be the best- a drummer, who is good at Maths AND the Classics, signed up for the Rugby team, keeps to himself but can stun any bully into silence by his quick wit and most of all, has an army of friends to ride or die for him!...I mean come on!! It is a no contest! 🥹❤️ Also, these are just the qualities that people who don't know him can see. Those that know Charlie, know what a caring, loving and strong willed person he is. Even his bullies seek his approval! And Nick knows how Charlie never shies away from a fight- whether it is in Mario Kart or fight for the pillow cushion in Nick's bedroom 🤣😂

Nicole

So much story!? Dream words to read from you 🩷🩷🩷

boombroadcast

Mr. Barnes/Shannon/Shannon-Barnes knew what he was doing saving the best for last! 🥰 That did mean leaving Charlie with a lot of time to silently fret though… but he looks like he’s holding up okay! Not exactly relaxed, but not totally panicking either! He’s got this in the bag. 🗳️

Laura Humber

The smug look on the second candidate, I really dislike his campaign even though I haven't heard his speech 🤣

Claire

The second candidate looks over confident. I love the alert nervousness in Charlie there - very vivid emotion. (Is any one else wondering what the other houses are as well as Macbeth and Hamlet? .. no, just me then!)

boombroadcast

Alice is aware, Netflix shared a formal comment with press, they’re copyright striking posts and taking them down. The most helpful thing we can do as fans is let Netflix handle it, and not draw more attention to leaks by talking about them online… because that just makes more people aware that they exist and likely to seek them out and spread them further. This is almost certainly why no one working on Heartstopper has said anything about this publicly. It just makes things worse!

Rose Diamond10

My take on this is that Charlie is not being overwhelmed by anxiety. The four straight panels of the last page act like four thudding heartbeats as he steps out on stage, and the relative rigidity of the panels on this page convey sort of a steady building anticipation rather than anxiety. I agree that overlapping panels would convey anxiety, but think that technique would be saved for when Charlie is feeling overwhelmed, and I think he’s feeling strength and conviction at this time.

Larisa

I can tell none of the others is as good as Charlie just based off of their body language. Amazing work there, Alice! ❤️

Rhonda Mitchum

Like Nick said to Charlie "You are the strongest person I know"

Holly Roberts

You can do it, Charlie…. We all love you!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Lotta HR 🩷

GO CHARR TRUST YOUR SELF❤️❤️❤️

Julie

It’ll all be over so soon, and then Charlie can relax and feel so proud of himself, even if he doesn’t win (which we know he will, but he doesn’t.) That’s such a great feeling!

Sof

I love that they saved the best for last 😍

Ariel

Let's go Charlie!!! (Also you are right Alice, we know Charlie's is the best hehe)🥰

Ashley Robinson

Was just thinking the same thing. That 2nd kid is giving me too confident vibes. Like he promised free cookies in cafeteria.

Bonersniper

Oh I went back and looked in order, that does fit and make sense. I was more so meaning Alice's caption stating there was limited space and methods to fit more in, but you're right on the flow and general vibeI still think that closed eyes and an inhale would work to break the bottom of a page more crowded at top.

Scott Whittall

Any guesses on what our Char is visualizing with his eyes closed?? His smile, his eyes, his arms wrapped around him, his kiss, his strength......his Nick. Now open those eyes and go get the prize!

ucfnurse

Goooooo Charlie!!!☺️😊👍💞🫶🏻🗣️👨‍🎓👑🌷💫🗳️✌️🕊️☮️

Tina

i'm not on twitter anymore so idk what u can report for but try reporting the tweets from fraudulent links or scams, it'll at least bring attention of twitter to the account if many people do that.

Noemiette

More likely just focusing on his own breathing ^^" If he wants to see Nick, he just has to look at the audience

Alice P

So excited to see/read all the stories in this last volume!

Robert

To be honest I don't suppose many of us are interested about the other candidates.

Katia Gómez

Charlie’s obviously the best, just look at the other candidates’ smug faces 🙄😂

boombroadcast

If you happen to see anything you can report it for spam, but I wouldn’t bother looking for stuff, especially if you want to avoid spoilers! Netflix has said they’re taking this seriously, it sounds like stuff is getting copyright striked. Best thing we can do is just let this die down. You also might want to filter Heartstopper related terms on TikTok, if you’re on it. I did that immediately (and muted it on Twitter too) and thankfully haven’t seen any spoilers!

Krystyn

Sometimes we have to focus on things that matter, here it’s definitely Charlie’s speech. I a being totally objective when I say that Charlie’s is the best, the most heartfelt. 💜

Jay Patrick

my school was also successful women from history so now i'm very curious which ones you had? (ours were keller, seacole, nightingale, and parks)

aliceoseman

It was (Ada) Byron, (Eva) Cassidy, (Ella) Fitzgerald, (Mary) Somerville, (Jane) Tomlinson and Hildegard (of Bingen)! I was in Somerville house :)

Murgy

Looking at this, I relate to the feeling of "ok, i have a bit of time" blink "what do you mean I'm up? What happened to the other speeches?"

Diana N

Personally I’m ok with just hearing Charlie. I love the way you did it. Usually on a show or in a film you don’t hear anyone but our main character anyway so this is perfect ❤️

moon

i wouldn’t be surprised if the speeches of the others were about promising cookies in the cafeteria anyway 😭

Lauri

Go Charlie!!!!!

Laura

The candidate, next to the one who got up, looks totally arrogant. I bet he has a snarky comment after the speeches

Brittney

You got this Charlie!!

Polythene Pam

I'm glad the focus is on Charlie ❤️

Glenn Crawford (GraphiqueJack)

Angus from Macbeth House... my little Scottish heart sees what you did there. lol I don't need to see the other speeches. that would only drag the story down. What I'm more excited for is all the content you're teasing us that's going to happen in this last book. Squeeeeeee!!!

Beam Bugge

the boys literally said 🧍‍♂️🕺🏼🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️

Beam Bugge

this is very specific but he lowkey reminds me of that one scene in season 2 where the teachers told ben that he had such good grades (idk if that guy anything like ben or if he's a decent person but it's interesting that they have similar postures!)

CinD

“SOOOOO much story” 😃😍🥰 “in this final volume” 🥺😭🥹

Rmb

I'm not too sure if we've heard any of the other house name before now! I'm guessing a Shakespeare theme! What would the other two house be? Othello? Tempest?

Brynn Rabinowitz

I love how the houses are Shakespeare characters/plays.
