Yep, one of the girls on “Super Fun Night” is gay

I have not really gotten into ABC’s Super Fun Night and I know I’m not being fair about it.

I did see the premiere and the Halloween episode and thought they were fine but I decided I needed Rebel Wilson to have her Aussie accent which she, strangely, does not.

I think I also have lingering resentment that ABC canceled my beloved Happy Endings to go with this show instead so it has had a lot to prove to me!

But those are my issues and now that the show has revealed one of the three lead characters to be lesbian, I’m thinking about a Hulu binge watch this weekend.

Last week, the character of Marika, played by Lauren Ash, has discovered that she is a lesbian after a kiss from a straight girl named Kendall (Kate Jenkinson).

In the season finale tonight, she struggles to tell her close-knit group of equally socially awkward friends.

‘I love the (kissing) scene with Marika and Kendall,’ Ash tells Xfinity.com. ‘I just think it’s just so cute. I [thought] that the Internet was going to explode as that happens. I think Twitter is just going to like invert itself!’

So could her character have really been that clueless about her sexuality until that first same-sex kiss?

‘We have to remember that those three girls have been literally holed away in their apartment for 10 years since high school,’ Ash says. ‘They’re all kind of in this stunted adolescence.’

‘It’s realistic that Marika doesn’t really know and hasn’t really thought about it and is forced to kind of look at herself and look at her feelings and what maybe is in there.,’ she adds. ‘And she’s kind of been ignoring or not looking at for some time. So I think that it’s really lovely that she kind of gets to have that little bit of a journey rather than just a certain episode and all of a sudden it’s like “Hey, she’s gay. It’s over!”‘
