'Carrie Diaries' Star Previews Walt's New Chapter

(ET ONLINE) - I've said it before and I will say it again: the way Amy B. Harris shaped and evolved Walt's coming out journey on the KBCW/CW series "The Carrie Diaries" was a thing of beauty because, despite being set in 1984, the story unfolded with a complex and contemporary edge that made it deeply relatable and utterly heartfelt.

Obviously a huge portion of that praise also goes to star Brendan Dooling, who infused Walt with just the right amount of fear and acceptance throughout this powerful character arc.

The end of season one introduced a love interest for Walt (in the charming shape of Jake Robinson's Bennet) and revealed the boys would be spending summer in the city, making their romantic status one of the biggest season two premiere questions!

I caught up with Brendan Dooling to talk about Walt and Bennet in season two and how the show will continue to break new ground with this storyline.
