TRACY BEAKER & PETER INGHAM

THE STORY OF TRACY BEAKER (2002-2005) / THE BEAKER GIRLS (2021-2023)

I just finished watching the final episode of The Beaker Girls and I’m so emotional. Mike, Tracy, Justine and Peter all in one room again was too much.

And finally, a very old story got a brand new chapter.

Cw spoilers for the last Tracy Beaker book,

if you dont want spoilers, don't read any further

YOU GAVE BERN WARNED! don't come for me lol

OK, so in the last Tracy Beaker book, there is a storyline conclusion thst pissed me off sooooooooo much.

I do give props that Csm is confirmed gay in it and Jackie even gave her a girlfriend! (And how it's never outright said 'Cam is gay and her and Mary are a couple', but it's made very obvious and no one has trouble with it, well Tracy a bit but more cos Mary is a teacher and Tracy has unresolved trauma surrounding teachers, not cos she's a woman).

BUT in the last book (well technically end of the second to last book) we are reintroduced to a now adult Peter Ingham, that kid who trailed after Travy like a lost puppy but she was kind of mean to, but him and Tracy actually get on now.

Through a misunderstanding we are led to assume Peter has come out as gay abd has a male partner, but later it turns out not only is he not gay, but, in a tired old hetronormative trope, he has been in love with Tracy since they were kids and never got over her!

AAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!

I am SICK of unneccessary compulsory hetronormative romantic sideplots!!!! And of stories if a boy liking a girl she's mean to him but he still loves her, it plays into 'nice guy' shit, I was hoping Peter was gay, I wish he had been and instead of them getting together at thr end, he ends up Tracy's daughter Jess's cool gay uncle, honestly it almost seemed like a fprm of borderline queerbaiting, with a lowkey misogynistic trope and hetronormativity, made me so mad.

Why couldn't he just have been gay!?
