Hudson Williams has reflected on his “stable and beautiful” friendship with his Heated Rivalry co-star Connor Storrie.

Williams recently appeared on the latest episode of The Assembly, a CBS series where “popular celebrities and public figures from around Canada and the world face a group of atypical interviews, all on the autistic spectrum”.

With Williams and Storrie beloved for portraying enemies-to-lovers hockey players Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov in Heated Rivalry, as well as for their close friendship off-screen, one participant asked Williams if he had ever felt “something for Connor that was more than friendship”.
