Archie Panjabi's character on "The Good Wife" could be bisexual

Not only that, but I'll also watch any show with a lesbian or bisexual actress in it.  It's the only reason I even bother with 'Three Rivers'...though it's so bad I have to fast forward through most of it. 

haha...i totally picked up something on her. LOVE the show

"vaginas are awesome."

Love this show (my favorite new show of the season)...and was definitely picking up on the subtext between these two.

Mark my words: it's only a matter of time before those after work drinks lead to a hook-up between Alicia and Kalinda.

What a great vehicle for Julianna Margulies.  Archie is sharp and smokin' - the revelation about her character is just a bonus.  Am I the only one frightened by Christine Baranski's face?

Dude!! I just watched this week's episode hoping to see or hear something about her being gay or bi! From the great non conformist way she dresses, speaking of the past, taking "chances" and being radicle, as she briefly talked about her past in a previous episode, I knew she would be either bi of lezzy!! My gay-dar was going beep beep beep!! Oh I can't wait to see some action! :)

SdQ Out!

Haha, I effing KNEW it!
I've been watching the show, and just tonight I was thinking, "God, I love this woman. She is so beautiful. And I'm getting a vibe from her... I seriously hope she turns out not to be straight."

 Awesome. I hope they give her an actual, meaningful relationship with another woman in the plot. I'm so sick of TV portraying bisexuals as straight girls who just want to experiment, or who always end up with men.

"I am sure glad that journalists overseas know how to do their jobs" - uhh, I wouldn't be too sure of it. Rediff and the likes are usually only good for speculating about the privat relationship between any lead couple in a movie. That's at least my experience.

So I would actually see it as a good thing that US media aren't just spreading the rumors without any further proof.

I don't think they're aiming for sexual tension between the ladies, it IS CBS after all... that they'd even have an openly lesbian/bi character even in a supporting part is a huge step forward but with Archie's talent and knack for inserting looks and adlib physical stuff that's not in the script, it could still get interesting ;)

I think they might have chosen not to advertise on the character NOT to spook the usual CBS audience, knowing that the word would 'come out' ;) in the community anyway. Besides  it seems Archie is hinting at it in a Variety interview...so she might also be under a gag order until they decide what to do with that aspect of her character.

But I'm sure we all picked up the vibe because the actress has been informed from the start of the character's orientation and played it subtly. Also a kickass, slightly bitchy woman in leather is rare enough on network tv to signify only one thing really...

As I was saying on the forum, it wouldn't be the first time for Archie who locked lips with Olivia Grant in the BBC short lived series Personal Affairs. It was quite hot actually... the only interesting storyline in the show unfortunately.

Didn't Archie Panjabi play a closeted lesbian on Personal Affairs?

Without providing any spoilers, she won't be appearing in any future episodes of Personal Affairs (unless she appears as a twin or in a dream sequence).

to hear that Archie's character might be bisexual in the show, it's not the reason I'm tuning in.  I watched the whole season (yeah three episodes) last week while I was home sick, and I really enjoyed the show.  It's by far the best new show on TV right now.  Julianna rocks but she has a fantastic support cast, which definitely includes Archie. 

Honestly, I don't care if they have a bi or lesbian character in the show and it is well written, so I cross my fingers that they won't do this for the ratings if it's true.  I sincerely hope in the future that lesbian and bisexual characters in the mainstream media won't need an announcement, it just happens.

I personally wouldn't get your hopes up. Not because of anything I've heard, but just because this is frickin' CBS.

Someone mentioned they're surprised it hasn't been promoted ... well CBS/GL didn't promote Otalia, either, until a fan base was already there, and then they screwed us.

Sorry, this is off-topic but I'm still obviously bitter. Until I know whether the ultimate decisions about Otalia were made by GL execs/writers or from someone at the network, I just won't trust CBS.

I like Julianna and this actress is hot and maybe it will be great, but ...

gay, straight, bi I dont care I love her!! ;p

-I speak in random thoughts

I checked out all the episodes after seeing this post. I like Archie's character - she is sassy and smart and I would LOVE to hear she's bi. Got a feeling that she's got a much softer corner for women though and reserves her sensitive side for them - with men, she's pretty much blatantly using her sexuality to get some info, but never really falling for them.

I doubt if she and Alicia are going to hook up though.  Alicia seems more into that lawyer who is her boss, and of course, still ambivalent about her feelings for her husband. 

BTW, which is the episode where this Donna incident happens? I've seen upto epi 5 and it's not in that one...

So nice to have a well-done drama on television. A strong, lesbian/bi character is just icing on the cake.

'Sexy' 'an Indian stunner' and 'nonchalantly bisexual'

Those are the very terms used to describe Kalinda's attitude in the Pilot script... so now let's see what they'll do with it. So far not much but they don't seem to be sweeping it under the rug so that's good.
