'Deadly Class': Taylor Hickson drew inspiration from Siouxsie Sioux for Petra's 80s gothic look and attitude
In an exclusive interview with MEA WorldWide (MEAWW), Hickson tells us why Petra turned down Billy's heartfelt proposal
'Deadly Class' has garnered quite a few fans ever since it debuted January 16 and though there's so much to love about the show, from Lana Condor's makeover as the katana-wielding Saya Kuroki to Benjamin Wadsworth's bad boy Marcus Lopez, one standout favorite has been goth girl Petra, who was humiliated by the white supremacist 'Legacies' at a dance ball, stabbed by the Kuroki men, and survived it all. Petra, played by Taylor Hickson, has not only become a fan-favorite but also a major essence of the series, so that is why when she almost died in episode 4, fans swore they would not watch the show.
And Petra better not die we can lose Victor but not Petra #DeadlyClass
