The actors will often be asked questions about the characters that haven’t been revealed in the show so they’ll often make something up off the top of their head or use their own acting choices as an answer. To many fans this was confirmation the character of Lance was actually bisexual. When we brought this up to Shada (with much gentle ribbing from Klaus) he was floored. “People pick up things and take things so out of context,” he laughs. “I didn’t do anything. I didn’t say anything. I just said, ‘yes, milkshakes. Yeah. Milkshakes and stuff.” Shada often jokes in fan Q/A’s at panels or online and then finds his jokes being labeled as “confirmed” by fans. Klaus jokes they need shirts that say “Not Canon.” “Nothing I say is canon,” adds Shada. Just remember, while actors love to have fun talking about their characters they don’t actually have much or any control over the series itself. Questions about character back stories are often better directed towards the writers and producers of the series since they come up with much of it.
