During the chat, they explained that viewers will see Ki tell friends Ollie Morgan (Gabriel Clark), Imran Maalik (Ijaz Rana) and Brooke Hathaway (Tylan Grant) that they are non-binary in a future episode. "It's wonderful to have that positive representation for non-binary people, because we never see it, and it is so beautiful to be able to step in to the shoes of Ripley and be able to be like, 'Guys look, a non-binary character played by a non-binary human,'" they said. Reflecting on their personal experience, Ki added: "I like to say that I sit within the gender spectrum in a boat."
