LINDSAY
DOES DANTE
Thea Gill--better known as Lindsay from Queer as Folk--has
joined the cast of here TV's gothic drama series Dante's
Cove for its second season, which will air in
the fall. Gill will play Diana Childs, "a mysterious
newcomer to Dante’s Cove who will tangle
with Grace (Tracy Scoggins) as revelations of their secret
past threaten to change Dante’s Cove forever."
No word yet on what Diana's secret is, but I'm hoping
it's not a lesbian lover and two kids stashed away in
Canada.
WHAT
HAPPENS ON THE BUS, STAYS ON THE BUS
Sara Gilbert (24, Roseanne), who most
recently starred in the WB fiasco Twins, has
been cast as a weary, seen-it-all reporter in the pilot
for Girls on the Bus, an ABC ensemble comedy
about a group of journalists doing campaign coverage.
I know, it doesn't sound funny, but from the
pilot script, it actually is (unlike, say, Twins).
DEGRASSI
The episode kicking off the lesbian
storyline on the fifth season of the popular teen
Canadian show Degrassi: The Next Generation finally
airs in the states in April on The
N. Don't get too excited, it's no South
of Nowhere, but the lesbian storyline is pretty
well written, and so far, neither of the girls has died
of breast cancer. Yeah, the bar's pretty low these days...
IMAGINE
ME ON DVD
You won't find it listed in any stores yet, but the DVD
for the romantic lesbian comedy Imagine
Me and You will be released in the U.S. on June
27th. Why all the fuss, you ask? Two words: Lena
Headey.
DINAH
SHORE
I'm headed off to Dinah
Shore in Palm Springs next weekend, where AfterEllen.com
is a sponsor. If you're attending, please be sure to stop
by our table at the Wyndham pool parties and say hello.
To find us in the crowd, just look for the tall, thin,
charming blonde all the women are hitting on--that's my
straight-but-not-narrow sister, Autumn, and yes, I hate
her, but hey, free labor!
