In the show, a storyline involving her character Remy having an interracial relationship was considered so shocking that she said there were “insane death threats constantly coming into the studios” and extra security had to be hired. Remy was also bisexual, something she says was considered groundbreaking at the time, but is commonplace today. “Seeing what’s on television now, if you watch ‘Euphoria,’ the fact that that my character was shocking and groundbreaking then, it’s like, no, it’s nothing.”

    I remember watching house live. Didn’t think anything of her character as ground breaking. Crazy how people lose it over a minor thing about the show.

      I mean she was an interesting character, but it was less about her being bi or in an interracial relationship and more about her having Huntington’s as well as some actual character development (if I remember correctly, anyway)
