The Haunting of Bly Manor didn't set out to teach people lessons in inclusivity. It simply is horror fiction in which two women end up falling in love!Cal only became a part of the show in Season 3, but they are already incredibly cool.
Cal is very straight-forward but still kind, and isn't afraid of questioning the system at Moordale Secondary School, that is often inaccessible to people who don't fit the binary.
I can't wait to see more of them in upcoming seasons!Eric is loud and proud, supremely funny, has a refined backstory, and is just simply fabulous.
While I don't agree with several of his romantic decisions, Eric himself is a brilliant standalone gay character!Schitt's Creek flips the trope of "small town = bad", on its head.
