    How Heated Rivalry Uses Svetlana to Externalize Ilya's Character

    In this episode, I’m diving into one of my favorite adaptation choices in Heated Rivalry. When adapting this novel for television, Jacob Tierney decided to expand the role of Svetlana, and that decision not only created another dynamic character for audiences to enjoy but also helped to externalize Ilya Rosanov as a character. In the novel, so much of Ilya’s characterization lives internally through POV and narration. But television doesn’t work that way. It has to externalize emotion through his relationships, behavior, and visual storytelling. Through three key scenes ( the Tuna Melt conversation, the Russian monologue, and the cottage scene in the finale) I explore how the show uses Svetlana as a storytelling device that helps us to understand Ilya’s internal world, and forces him to confront his feelings for Shane head-on. This episode will draw some book vs screen comparisons and also dive into the craft of adaptation itself. I've long said that Heated Rivalry's success comes from how Jacob chose to translate the internal storytelling of the source material, so let's chat about how he accomplished that for television audiences, shall we?

    Reheating The Rivalry: A Heated Q&A (Part Four)

    In this fourth installment of our Heated Rivalry Q&A series, we dive into Ilya’s move to Ottawa and the perception that Shane Hollander failed to fully grasp the magnitude of the sacrifice Ilya was making for their relationship. We also unpack the emotional and psychological differences in how Shane and Ilya view hockey and why the move to Ottawa impacts Ilya so deeply beyond the career implications alone. We also answer hockey-related questions about how and why Shane and Ilya were named captains at such young ages, discuss the culture and expectations surrounding leadership and playing through injury in the NHL, and explore the symbolic use of Mozart’s Requiem in Season 2. Plus, we talk about the deeper meaning behind Ilya’s father calling him “lazy." Lets chat!

    Heated Rivalry Character Breakdown - Shane Hollander's Hero's Journey

    In this episode, we take a deeper look at Shane Hollander’s evolving hero’s journey across Heated Rivalry, The Long Game, and the highly anticipated book Unrivaled, using insight from Rachel Reid herself. Drawing from a recent interview, Reid made it clear that while these books center on a love story between Shane and Ilya, this trilogy has always been Shane’s story. In this episode, we break down what that actually means by exploring the structure of the Hero’s Journey (or monomyth) and map Shane’s arc onto this classic storytelling framework. From his early identity as a closeted, high-performing athlete to the pressures of public life, aging in professional hockey, and building a future beyond the game, Shane’s journey reflects a quieter, more internal version of heroism.

    Let’s Talk BookCon: Tierney & Reid Panel Recap + Thoughts

    In this episode, I’m diving into the BookCon panel featuring Jacob Tierney and Rachel Reid! We'll be recapping the conversation, unpacking some of their most interesting responses, and I'll be sharing my own thoughts along the way. I also get into a bit of speculation—purely for fun—for season 2, attempt to connect some dots, read between the lines, and elaborate on some changes that may happen as they adapt The Long Game from book to screen. Whether you watched the panel or are hearing about it for the first time, their conversation is a thoughtful discussion that highlights the importance of good storytelling, open collaboration, and the magic that can happen when you're passionate about creating something lasting.
