Hayden Byerly Latest News, Photos, and Videos

Callie got quite a fright as Jude surprises her in this new clip from tonight’s Good Trouble.

As the residents of the Coterie throw an epic party, Jude stops by to help get Callie to put aside work for one evening to finally let loose and enjoy herself.

EP Joanna Johnson reveals that Jude’s appearance will also help Callie make a decision about Gael, after discovering that he also has a boyfriend.

“The question is, does she want to date Gael? And how does Mariana feel about that since she originally had a crush on him?,” she shared. “Callie will meet this other guy Gael is involved with, and, even though Gael isn’t exclusive with this guy, Callie has to decide, Do I want to date someone who’s also dating someone else? That’s something Jude helps her work through.”

Elsewhere in the ep, Mariana tries to make friends with her new co-workers since she still feels like an outsider, Alice gets some upsetting news about her ex-girlfriend, Sumi; and Malika is confronted by her foster care past.

It was just announced that Hayden Byerly is returning to The Fosters universe on Good Trouble, and we could not be more excited.

However, if you remember, when we left Jude, he wasn’t in the best place – he was having an extremely hard time in college and Callie actually took her clerkship in Los Angeles to be closer to Jude.

EP Joanna Johnson spoke to TVLine about where we would find Jude when he pops up on the spinoff series.

“He’s doing a lot better at school,” she shared. “We really enjoyed seeing Hayden play older [in the finale]. I thought he just killed it. I thought he was really great. So we’re excited to see 19-year-old Jude. He is in a better place than we left him.”

She also shared that she’s hoping to see Brandon, Eliza and Jesus pop up on the series next.

“We want to see them all this season, for sure, as long as they’re willing to come.”

Hayden Byerly cozies up to girlfriend Izabela Vidovic just before the start of the first ever Hayden’s Hope Totes Celebrity Scavenger Hunt held at Ruby’s Diner over the weekend in Redondo Beach, Calif.

Three years ago, The Fostersmade history by featuring a kiss between Jude and Connor – it was actually the youngest same sex kiss on TV ever.

However, it was also the storyline that the show got the most backlash from too.

EP Peter Paige spoke with Advocate about the groundbreaking moment that is still talked about today.

“Jude’s coming out and particularly Jude’s first kiss…which was this beautiful, chaste, long-earned kiss with the boy who had been his best friend, who became his boyfriend— I was so invested in it,” he shared. “In a lot of ways it paralleled my own childhood, and my own story.”

He continues, “I was so invested in those characters, and it also felt earned, right, so natural and honest that I was shocked at the blowback. We got more blowback on that story than on probably anything we’ve ever done. We got more blowback on that story than on anything that happened in Queer as Folk [the breakthrough series on which Paige starred].”

He believes it was because of their age, which isn’t surprising, but he was.

“I had forgotten that there was this really false notion that gay people don’t turn gay until they’re adults,” Peter adds. “The kiss was more chaste than the kiss in My Girl. And nobody was running around screaming that the people who made that movie were pedophiles. Not only did the sick-o Internet trolls come for us, but some gay people came for us, too.”

“‘You’re making us look bad, you’re making us look like perverts,’” he recalls. “I was astounded. I went on HuffPost—they do a live show about gay issues…Even the host of that was like, ‘So, quite the scandal.’ And I was like, ‘Hi, can we not talk about it like that?’ The truth is, gay adults start out as gay kids. And we need to stop apologizing for that. We are doing gay youth and extraordinary injustice.”
