I find it interesting that hayley clearly sees the mikaelsons as her family and feels a deep sense of love and loyalty towards them, but she’s been consistently shown to be wary of hope being raised around them.

"-to keep an eye on you."
As the Admiral left, James dropped his salute and narrowed his eyes. He'd only caught the tail end of what she'd said to Keith, but he didn't think catching the first part would leave him any less confused.
What did she mean, she was having someone keep an eye on Keith?
or read from the beginning:
Keith Kogane has always known that his luck was bad. He didn't need anyone to tell him that. But getting mixed up in an alien invasion? Yeah, that was a little worse than he'd anticipated.
(or, Keith never becomes a paladin and is around for Sendak's invasion of Earth)

Helen Norville brings so much empathy and understanding to her work, and looks to share stories of marginalised and underrepresented people with her audiences. She uses her position and platform for good, and brings a very special human quality to News At Six! The network would really be lost without her.
She treats Adam and Russ with a lovely air of normalcy - asking them how they met, never once doubting the legitimacy of their relationship and love, and listening to every word they said with consideration and care.
Russ was so vibrant and an incredibly endearing man. It’s horrible to think that AIDS would’ve taken this light from this world not long after the interview. He really wasn’t well here at all. A cruel and insidious disease to have, and the treatment of patients with it by society at large was reprehensible. Russ was perfectly and skilfully played by Mark Leonard Winter, who also shared the lead role with Anna in her episode of the devastating series ‘Fires’.
What an extraordinary and moving episode ‘No More Lies’ is. I’m glad Michael Lucas and Kim Ho won an award for writing it. As someone who had a gay relative with HIV who is no longer with us, this episode hit very close to home for my dad and I. 💔
