Connell Waldron is what everyone thought Greg from Love Island was going to be when he entered the villa

#normalpeople should have a warning on it *not suitable for lonely single people in lockdown* because you will fall hard for Connell and you will be left depressed and sad when it’s over.

You can also take a look at all-things Daisy Edgar-Jones, just to feel more invested in the Connell and Marianna connection, if it wasn't enough already.
We also recommend reading the book, as well as watching Paul's iconic role in the series, because we are in quarantine, after all - it won't be wasted time!
