One of the beautiful things about Ted Lasso is that it has always given its supporting characters room to breathe and the space to develop. From Dani Rojas falling back in love with football after accidentally killing AFC Richmond’s greyhound mascot Earl to Sam speaking out against the team’s sponsor Dubai Air, the show has always been great at giving these characters a time to shine. It hasn’t just been about Ted, Rebecca, Beard, and the main group for a while.
This has remained the case with season three which is putting the spotlight on young footballer Colin (Billy Harris) and journalist Trent Crimm (James Lance). One of the season’s best moments came in the tender episode set in Amsterdam, titled Sunflowers, as Colin snuck off to visit a gay bar in the city. In an earlier episode we discovered that Colin was gay, with sly reporter Trent then finding out for himself as he spotted the footballer kissing his boyfriend Michael.
