THERE'S
GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS...
First, the good: the spoiler folks at both TV
Guide and E!
Online are hinting that Michelle Rodriguez's character
on the popular ABC series Lost may soon be revealed
to be gay. Many fans are wondering how this could be possible
when Ana Lucia clearly referred to her former lover Danny
(Danni?) as a "he" in a recent flashback. But
throw a rock in a crowded lesbian bar, and you'll be hard-pressed
not to hit a lesbian who hasn't at some point
in her life played the pronoun-switching game. Especially
in the workplace. So I don't think Ana Lucia's past comments
rule out her being gay--but the bigger question is, do
we even want a lesbian character who spends most
of her time on-screen snarling, shooting, and reinforcing
a few of the more negative lesbian stereotypes?
Eh,
who am I kidding: we'll take whatever we can get at this
point.
If
Michelle...er, Ana Lucia is revealed to be gay,
will she hook up with Kate? Probably not, but that would
be a great way to spice up that tired Kate-Sawyer-Jack
triangle!
Now,
the bad news. Despite previous
speculation, it appears that Alias's Rachel
Gibson is not gay: next week she hooks up with--gasp!--a
guy. Sad, but true.
SUNDANCE
2006
The lineup
for the 2006 Sundance Film Festival was announced this
week, and films of interest to lesbians include Maria
Maggenti's Puccini for Beginners, about a
woman dating a man and a woman at the same time, and the
documentary All Aboard! Rosie's Family Cruise,
about the maiden voyage of the cruise line run by Rosie
and Kellie O'Donnell for gay and lesbian families.
Openly
bisexual actress/director Joey Lauren Adams (Chasing
Amy) also has a feature film in competition--Come
Early Morning, starring Ashley Judd--but there doesn't
appear to be any actual GLBT content in the film.
DAYTIME
TV ALERT
Daytime's favorite lesbian is coming back to All
My Children for the holidays. Actress Eden Riegel
has agreed to reprise her ground-breaking role and return
to Pine Valley for December and January as part of storyline
revolving around her character's sister, Kendall. Bianca
left Pine Valley with girl/friend Maggie earlier this
year, and although she's returning alone, she may be bringing
news of a romance in Paris. Who's the likely girlfriend?
If it's not Maggie, my money's on Passions's
resident lesbian Simone,
because TV execs are just like other straight people:
always trying to set you up with the only other lesbian
they know...
