I missed the live but watched the replay. Thank you Ash for having Jess on today. I love hearing her opinions on everything. I bought Gen Q season 1 & 2. Season 3, I bought episodes 1,2,9 & 10. I got most of them on Apple and some on Amazon. I buy the steaming versions where you can download them and have them forever. I’m afraid my DVD player won’t last forever and it will probably be fazed out eventually. What if we had two L Word shows! One for the OG’s and one for a whole new group! 🤷♀️ I don’t know what to say to people that don’t want Bette and Tina on the show. I’m fine with the fact that you either are tired of them or don’t like them. They are my favorites but that’s not the point I’m making. Did you look at the ratings when Jennifer and Laurel weren’t on the show. Ratings plummeted without them. They came back and they went up. Maybe this is the end of the line for Bette and Tina but I hope not. If Ilene brings the show back I’ll keep an open mind regardless of who’s in it but I love the OG’s and of course Gigi! Thanks for leaving the replay up Ash!
Thanks Ash I am late to catch up with this great chat with Jess I am definitely going to listen to Jess podcast Finding Fire Island. Also interested in the strike as it is also getting coverage in Australia and I am interested in you comment re Gen Q being taken down. It’s still available in Australia on STAN - would the actors and crew get residuals for this - I know small audience - but just interested.
I would say that Stan would have purchased the show for a certain amount of time, esp considering they show the new eps the exact same time as showtime. Most likely it would be for a year, so Gen Q may come off Stan in Nov. But they could have purchased it for a few years. When a network purchases the rights to air the pay a fee and the cast & crew usually get a lump sum from that. But due to it being streaming it won’t be very much at all.
Never been to the Grove but grew up in the 60's in Mankato, MN USA. We had the Tomorrow group in the '70s but met in homes, parks, clubs... I DJ the parties. If interested in the rebel Midwest movements ask. BJ
Hi lovely, def listen to Jess's podcast 'Finding Fire Island' new episodes still coming out and there is a whole ep (the second one) that is called 'Cherry Grove'. You'll find the podcast on Apple, Spotify, all good podcasting services. Thanks for watching!
I think Gigi & Dani should definitely be in the reboot, no question about that!The GINI fan base I'm sure will all agree that Gigi & Dani's chemistry is something that we all want to see more of. Their characters were the entire reason I couldn't wait to watch the next episode. I think the new reboot needs to have more passionate characters for the show to be suceessful. Seeing as Gigi and Dani already have a large fan base, that's even more reason to cast them in the reboot. You can relate that to the reason why all the OG fans were looking forward to watching Gen q because they wanted to see Bette & Tina! I hope Ilene puts serious consideration into casting Sepideh & Arrienne, because I think bringing them back will boost the ratings right off the bat. I do think that the majority of OG fans would be extremely disappointed if Ilene didn't cast any of the characters from the original L Word. So I respectfully disagree with Jess's idea to have a reboot with an entire new set of characters. That to me would be for another showrunner to produce without the use of an L Word in the title. IMO, there are many more L Word fans that want the legacy to continue for many more years to come. I wish there were more people giving their input in the comment section on who they would like to see in the reboot. I for one would be very disappointed if the the reboot didn't include a few OG's and especially my two favorite characters from Gen q, Gigi & Dani, that made the biggest impact on the fans that did continue to watch Gen q, at least up until Gigi's car crash debacle as far as their fanw go. And the same reason all the Tibette fans watched the last two episodes of Gen q. I believe Shane & Alice should definitely be in the reboot because they both are well liked characters, I myself would like to see them in the reboot. They have so much potential to be an important part of the show with Ilene at the helm. It's a shame that Ilene wasn't able to hold off until she was available to be the showrunner of Gen q indtead of handing the legacy to a Showrunner that obviously didn't have the experience to write better storylines for all the characters on Gen q because there were alot of things that could have been done to keep the show running for several more seasons. An experienced showrunner/writers make for happy characters and even happier fans.
Even the best of friends disagree sometimes and that's what makes the world, and our community great, lots of different ideas. In my ideal world we'd have an L Word expanded universe, but I'd settle for one good watchable, well written show that lasts at least five seasons! As I said I do have faith in Ilene, she wouldn't do it if she didn't think she had good idea. Also as I mentioned I think Dani & Gigi having a show is such great potential! Would love to see them have their own show. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Ash for your reply. Glad you're feeling better. I appreciate all the hard work you & Jess do for the fans. I enjoy listening to the both of you giving your honest opinions, your humor & your insider info. The clips of the episodes was something else I enjoyed, and the discussions that followed. My main reason for wanting some of the OG's in the reboot comes down to my familiarity of the characters, and the friendship that they had, which I believe would be an important aspect of the new show. I also would like to see Gigi & Dani's relationship rekindled, not only because of their amazing chemistry, but also because I think they deserve a do over of the way their relationship ended on Gen q. Like you said, we all are going to want different scenarios for the new reboot. Jess's idea of starting over with a whole new set of characters could very well become a possible of creating a great show, but it all depends upon the new group of characters that will be in the cast. The biggest aspect of that scenario would be for me is whether or not I would have a connection to a new set of characters, I'll have to wait & see. Whatever Ilene decides to do, I am willing to give the reboot a chance even though I would prefer to see some familiar faces as opposed to new set of characters. Maybe a poll would be a good way to see what other fans would like. I'd be interested in that idea for my own curiosity. The hardest part is that it's going to be a long wait before we hear any concrete information on who the new cast will be. ❤❤❤👍
thank you Ash and Jess, it's always nice to hear from Jess. I think Ilene needs to find a new couple that makes us vibrate. She must also find a bridge between the OGs and new actresses to create an osmosis for new stories that last several seasons.
Thanks
Thank you love, you are so kind!

I love the fire Island movie but I wanna know more about the Cherry Grove

episode 2 is entirely about the history of Cherry Grove!
Deadloch is so good and a lot of the characters are lesbian/bi or queer ❤

The best actors and writers are in Australia.
How great is Deadloch :-)
I'm going to be 70. The stories I could tell you.
Ash, did you ever get into Venice the Series?!?
I'd been missing you.
Come over to my other channel! youtube.com/@coffeeandcults?si=eq2CMzhytMyGsDRD
If there is a LWNY, no Finley please
I've watched Wentworth 7x, Orange only 2x... I have not seen gen 2 sen.3, no interest.
Reboot Wentworth not Orange. Wentworth was best. Prisoner next & Orange last.
J’ai adoré Wentworth !
thank you Ash and Jess, it's always nice to hear from Jess. I think Ilene needs to find a new couple that makes us vibrate. She must also find a bridge between the OGs and new actresses to create an osmosis for new stories that last several seasons.
Wentworth was so good ❤
Why are you all still talking L word. Let it die.
Because The L Word made a big impact for the LGBTQ community, so it's important to carry it's legacy on to the L Word NY reboot!
