Jonah Kirby portrayed by Lucien Laviscount
Jonah had been chafing under the restrictive bonds of home-schooling for some time. Home-schooled by doting parents who accept him for who he is, Jonah is always authentic. Unlike Jess he is comfortable in his own skin.
His great sacrifice in the first 10 episodes is letting go of his close relationship with sister, Ruth; she’s not enough for him anymore. When Jonah meets Jess, he realises this is the girl of his dreams. He can see the good in her and is desperate to impress her... Jonah desperately wants the experiences of a normal teenager, however painful they may be.
When Jonah finds himself comforting Cesca after a brutal dog attack at the start of term it’ll be the start of a new love secret love affair. For Jonah this is the perfect woman, funny, kind, beautiful and whilst Cesca struggles under the implications of what they’re doing, Jonah never questions it. Always brought up to fight for what he believes it right, that’s exactly what he’ll do but as things get ever more serious and the possible consequences become all too real, Jonah’s going to need all his maturity to see it through. ]
Reason for leaving
Jonah left after he married his spanish teacher Cesca Montoya.
