KEEP KEVIN ZEGERS ON THE SHOW!!

Heated Rivalry is a story that so many of us have come to love - a story about love, acceptance, vulnerability, and finding the courage to be yourself. It has brought together fans from all over the world, from different backgrounds, cultures, identities, and beliefs, through something we all share: our love for this story and its characters.

That is why we believe this community should remain a place where people can come together and celebrate what we love, rather than a place where individuals are judged or excluded because of their personal or political views.

Recently, there have been calls to remove Kevin Zegers from the cast because of his perceived political views and his past expressions of support for Israel and for the Israeli hostages. We do not believe that supporting the return of hostages, expressing compassion for people affected by violence, or holding personal views about a complex political situation should be grounds for someone to lose their role.

Kevin was chosen to be part of this project, and we trust the creative team behind Heated Rivalry and their decision to cast him. We are excited to welcome him into this world and to see what he brings to the series.

This petition exists simply to show that there are also many fans who support Kevin Zegers, who want him to remain part of Heated Rivalry, and who refuse to let political disagreements take away from something that has brought so many of us joy.

We are here because we love Heated Rivalry. We are here to celebrate this story together.

And Kevin, we are happy to have you. ❤️
