Just a word of warning that this article contains spoilers for the TV show, Younger.

Nico Tortorella is well aware they broke a lot of hearts last year, but wants you to know they’re just as disappointed in the man they portray on screen as you are.

The 29-year-old actor plays Josh on the hit TV showYounger, which is now in its fifth season.

The character of Josh is a free-spirited, 20-something tattoo artist who is also the erstwhile lover ofYounger’sprotagonist Liza Miller (played by Sutton Foster) a divorced 41-year-old mother who has been posing as a 26-year-old in order to secure a job at the Manhattan-based Empirical Publishing.

In addition to tackling important topics including sexism and ageism,Youngerhas also proven to be the ultimate frothy, decadent and comforting TV treat, set against a glamorous New York backdrop while also featuring the best-dressed characters on the small screen (which is no surprise since Patricia Field, the genius behind the looks onSex and the City,is also the costume consultant onYounger).

Season four of the series ended with a bit of an emotional upheaval for fans, with Liza and Josh’s on again/off again relationship seemingly done for good after he married his new girlfriend Clare (Phoebe Dynevor) in a quaint Green Card wedding in her Irish hometown as Liza watched on.

Despite the fact that night before the wedding she had been sure that he was about to change his mind.

But alas, he went through with it and by doing so he broke the hearts of fans just as much as Liza’s the moment he said “I do”.

Relieve the biggest moments and scandals from Younger season four with special guest Miriam Shor, the actress who plays Diana Trout herself.

In the lead-up to the launch ofYoungerseason five the show's marketing relied heavily on the "Team Josh" and "Team Charles" dynamic in order to whip up a frenzy of excitement among fans who were urged to declare their allegianceto only one of the show's leading men.

However, Tortorella, who is openly sexually fluid and uses the pronoun 'they', said watching the marketing campaign creating competition between the two characters was difficult to stomach.

On a different end of the scale, one of the things Tortorella values most about playing Josh and starring inYoungeris the fact that it has given them a platform to talk about issues surrounding sexual orientation, identity and fluidity.

Tortorella married their longtime partner Bethany Meyer in March this year in a intimate courthouse ceremony during which they each wore an outfit made up of a dress and pants. The couple have been together for more than 11 years in a polyamorous relationship, and Meyer herself identifies as gay.

"If I could play another character on the show I would play Lauren, for sure. All because Lauren is pretty much Nico but as a girl inYounger.That is for sure and in so many ways. I would really like to play the boy version of that character, the boy version of Lauren, on the show.

From the first glance,Youngermay seem like a frothy concoction of beautiful people wearing beautiful clothes, but Nico's words prove that the show is so much more than that and it time for us to view it in a new light.
