“ROOKIE BLUE” STAR CHARLOTTE SULLIVAN TALKS PLAYG GAY P GAIL PECK

TORONTO — A number of seri airg on Global and specialty channel Showse were sgled out Tuday for featurg gay characters. She’s a forensic pathologist and she also happens to be gay, which is awome.

This season we’ve seen Gail heavily volved an adoptn storyle and some fay drama, but, y, she’s still gay. Ahead of the Rookie Blue season fale that airs Canada next Wednday, Charlotte spoke wh about phg for her character to be gay, her thoughts on Holly and Gail, her storyle this season, and jt how awome her gay fans are.

So I did have the pleasure of speakg wh Tassie Cameron a while back, and she told me that you always thought Gail was gay. I sort of said, “Tassie, like, am I gay? The thg that bothers me wh this sort of TV is they always have to remd the dience that I’m gay.

Gay characters really have to have this kd of g out sort of scenar, and I jt don’t feel — ’s so normal, ’s so regular, that why n’t jt be? So why should you have to do that as a gay person?

We have a lot of gay wrers on our show, and I felt they jt handled really betifully.

But what I don’t like about most shows when they’re alg wh sexualy is they jt kd of have to beat over the head wh the dience, like nstantly remd the dience that this person’s gay. It’s sort of a slap the face to the gay muny, I feel. It’s like let them be gay on TV.

AE: You also did away wh that qutn by givg Gail a very gay haircut. CS: That was not a gay choice on our end. So even though ’s been a different exprsn of her sexualy this season, how has been playg gay Gail?

It was like once I had the gay muny’s back, was a different ballgame. And I will fend the gay muny to the ath, so if anyone’s gog to get hate mail should be me.
