    Sepideh retweeting Ilene, without adding a word, was the best thing of the whole situation.😂😂
    Sepideh's class, her silences, everything is to highlight.
    I hope she's part of the new reboot, even if it's with another character. If she did what she did with Gigi, who had 3 minutes on the screen, I don't even want to think about what she can do with a more leading character and better conceived under the tutelage of someone like Ilene, who has valued Sepi for years.

      I missed it. I don't have twitter. What did Ilene write that Sepideh retweeted? They did her so wrong on this show. I hope she makes it in the new show. You can do real estate from anywhere and I think she would thrive in NYC. Also, I loved it when Dani was a power suit wearing, confident, kick ass executive in the first season. I hope they bring that character back. There were so many obstacles she could have faced within that role to make her character so much more juicy but instead they made her a Stanford graduate who was essentially the CEO of her company into an event planner.....come on bro!

      @@riacosta7921 Hi. Ilene shared the article about the cancellation of Gen Q and the TLW New York project under her watch, and moments later Sepideh simply retweeted it without saying anything.
      We must keep in mind that Sepideh has hardly said a word about Gen Q, especially her departure from the series. It's like if she had disengaged from the show, then she could have kept quiet. However, she retweeted the news quickly, as if she enjoyed it.
      Ilene knows and admires Sepideh. They have worked together before. She was the one who brought Sepi to Gen Q. Then there was that freak interview where Marja said "she created Sepideh." Clearly something happened and no one was happy with Sepi's departure.
      I'm not saying that Sepideh is going to be a part of the new reboot (it would be great if happens) but I do feel that there was a kind of enjoyment in sharing the news.

    Great news! I just knew the minute Ilene and Jennifer did the joint interview and S3 showing in SF that they were not going to let MLR drag the legacy down any further and had something cooking. In the OGs we trust. Even if all the GQ cast make appearances it's a win-win for everyone. It will have better writing, showrunning, directing and editing so it's still a win for all.

I mean the disrespectful vibe to the OGs is so unnecessary. The OGs are part of the draw and legacy of the show. Have some respect. They want to benefit from the legacy of The L Word but don't want OGs, please have several seats. This is great news Illene got her show back. Because it was being run into the ground with that other woman. Hopefully they take the best parts of Gen Q with them ie Gigi

      Let’s face it, Bette & Tina ARE the LWord. They are the lead actors, period. Many, many people watched the OG and GenQ strictly because of them. And you are correct, the highest GenQ ratings were the B&T episodes, followed by the Dani/Gigi episodes (although that turned out to be a lot short-lived relationship.) GenQ wasted the opportunity to fully use the OG characters, especially Alice and Shane. Alice’s character was funny and sexy in S1, but after that, they just made her sad and lonely. And Shane…augghhh. She was trapped in an unhappy relationship with Tess, who basically ignored her then started drinking again. Shane bought the second bar to try and rescue their relationship even though it was a bad business decision. Then when Shane tried to pitch an alternate use for it as a hair salon, Tess went postal on her! It’s like almost every GenQ character in S3 got a personality transplant (Gigi, Dani, Micah, Maribel, Sophie & Tess). Finley ended up looking like the sane and mature one of the bunch! What an incredible F-up that all started when (think about it) Sophie cheated on Dani with Finley in late S1/early S2. It broke up that friend group and the writers never seemed able to figure out a way to fix the problem.

    Thanks for the update Ash. Ilene Chaiken should have time and as she is friends with Jennifer, a new reboot with new and interesting relevant storylines will work. GQ was uneven and dull in many ways and sure done correctly will be what we need. I watched firstly as I love Jennifer Beals as she has proven what quality looks like.
    Your ideas on casting those we loved from the original and some hand picked from the GQ is good as once again we have a huge void in lesbian wlw content with all the cancellations. The young ones don't know how easy it is for them today compared with what gen x like me had to go thru. Here's hoping a fresh start will be the winning ticket; hi from Melbourne, Australia.

    Hey Ash! I was actually online last night & got a notification about the GenQ cancellation. I wasn’t a bit surprised given how bad S3 had gone.
    But to my delight, I read about the new project The L Word: New York with Ilene Chaiken being involved and it being an “extension” of the OG series! Best news I’ve gotten in a long time. I share your hope that they will bring back fan favorites like Carmen, Helena, and perhaps the popular characters from GenQ (Carrie, Misty, Gigi) and of course Bette, Tina, Shane, Alice & Angie. But most importantly the series will have the OG vibe that fans have come to expect from the LWord. With Ilene Chaiken involved as the creator (and I wish as the show runner, but at this point I’ll take a COMPETENT one) this new series has huge potential. It already has a dedicated world-wide fan base, so all it has to do is deliver a decent WLW product. Surely Ilene Chaiken and company can figure out how to do that.

      So, now the hope is that the failure of GenQ is a big lesson learned in what the core audience really wants and expects. Thus, the wiping of the slate clean and the new direction to go back to a format which is more like the original LWord.

    So happy with this news!!! Hard core fans deserve to have the most relevant OGs back in the series, and obviously Ilene Chaiken leading the Tribe. It was painful to watch Gen Q debacle led by infamous Marja. I hope she get exiles to Katmandhu. Rose Troche should be the showrunner, in my opinion. Helena with her delicious accent and Carmen with her hyper sexiness, would be a great come back. Leisha and Kate are a must. And obviously Jennifer Beals. New blood is also necessary, so looking forward to the new additions. But, most importantly, the storylines and plots must be relevant.

  • @cbrocks3

    Do you think the OGs from Gen Q will be involved in the new show as characters, though? Kate's IG story really felt like a goodbye to Shane (and a fuck you to Marja lol). I'd assumed it would be all new characters again. 🤔
    While I personally loved Tess, Finley and Dani, I don't really see how they can get them into a story set in New York. Like, maybe Dani could move to work with Bette or something and she's reunited with Gigi/they retcon the break up or something, maybe. But I don't see how it works for anyone else. Not even sure how they'd get Alice and Shane there either tbh.
    If it is a reboot with the OGs and completely scrapping Gen Q, then I hope Jenny and Kit are brought back. Ilene said to ignore season 6 so no reason why not!

Will be interesting to see if they will have a good amount of the OG characters come back (sure would love Helena and perhaps Dylan 🥰 even Marina) and where it will take off from, whether being the OG or if it will be a whole slew of new characters and new stories. As sad as that would be not seeing our beloved familiar faces, it might be fun having new stories and fresh looks and loves. ☺️ Just as long as it feels real, relatable, and a little less drama, actually a lot less drama coming from Gen Q!

    I am a huge Beals and Holloman fan. I would love to see them come back in their original roles. Gen Q was a disaster as far as the OG story lines went. All this crap on representation means nothing when the writing and the story lines are nothing but romantic relationships which fall apart in an episode or two. How about some successful relationships and some happiness for some LGBTQ+ characters for a change. How about some people who know who they are as people and do not struggle so much with finding their identity. How about some real friendships like in the original. And if the powers that be decide on totally new cast and characters, I'm good with that. Just select the best actor for the part just as you did in the original... stop writing for the actor but make the actor step up to the part. I am looking for some positive examples of our community and not just people who look good or have some label to check the box. It's nice if they are attractive (Beals and Holloman), but they need solid story lines and more dialogue... and cut down on the number of characters and give each story line an adequate amount to time on screen so we know who they are. And cut out the guest characters who are on only to be seen and have no contribution to the story line. And cut the cheating and drug use down a whole lot, please. And give every character a back story which will explain who they are. And for god's sake (in honor of Ash) turn on the damn lights so we can see what is going on. Thanks Ash.

      Can’t agree more. We need to be represented by strong, positive women. You know, like the real people we know that are out there every day busting their a$$es to to succeed in their careers, in their relationships, and that struggle with family relationships, finances, etc. Women who are leaders, women who will stand up up to bullies, women who are competitive, women who are smart and hard-working. Professionals, blue-collar workers, entrepreneurs.
      These women make up the fabric of our beautiful, diverse community. This “silent majority” doesn’t typically comment on social media message boards such as this for a variety of reasons…but exists, and is the living and breathing heartbeat of the WLW community.

    This is exactly what needed to happen! I had lost all interest in the show after 2 episodes of the third season. Marja's interview on Jess' channel shined a bright light on one of the root causes of why the Gen Q show tanked. I cancelled my subscription after that abysmal finale. I am beyond excited that they have not given up on the L Word and whether the OGs are in it or not, I will receive this new show with open arms! I cannot wait to see the direction in which Ilene takes this reboot. I can totally see Bette, Shane, Dani, GG, Helena and Rosie thriving in a NYC locale. I do think this show needs to be focused on a new younger cast for longevity, and because the OGs are older and settled and may not have as much drama going on in their lives from a story telling perspective. However, I am totally open to anything as long as we have a well developed show with good writers and people who care. Illene cares!!! Thank you Paramount for having faith and keeping the L Word legacy alive!!!!

    If no one is going to say it, then I will. Gen Q was crap because it was 70% not even about lesbians and the LGB community was sick of it. It's the same with the new queer as folk show, absolutelycrap. It's now mainly all about non binary and trans which again most gay men were pissed off at. The l word was popular because it was actually about lesbians. Most shows that are casting all these new identity crap characters are getting very little views. The biggest problem is eliminating lesbians with the new shows coming out. Hence why the show GAP and the show stupid wife are extremely popular because theres no characters trying to shove a delusional narrative down our throtes. Hopefully this is a lesson to all producers out there 😊

That's when Alice's character shines (eg. The lesbian man she was dating, the vampire, and Papi). The scenes with Tasha mostly had them fighting or disagreeing. The woman who plays Tasha is super funny and has an infectious laugh. I love her. I think if they could bring a bit more of that into her character, it would be great!

    About GINI, If TLWNY is a reboot of the original, I think logically there should be no Gini.
    It is assumed that in the universe of the reboot in NY, Gen Q never existed. Gini would be a continuation of Gen Q, not a reboot of the original🤔.
    Also, I think there may be a conflict over ownership and authorship of the characters, since Dani and Gigi were theoretically created by Marja and she could claim the rights?
    But it is possible to use both actresses with new characters. That is the hope I have.
    Hopefully at least Sepi, who lives in NY, is part of the new project and as a more central character.
