Out comic/actress Bridget McManus is trading in laughs for lovemaking in her new Tello series Maybelle. The six-part series will premiere on Sunday, December 13 and the premise already sounds pretty delicious.
After the death of her mother, 35-year old Maybelle Garris (Bridget McManus) must learn to live for herself, as a gay woman in the south, who’s still in love with her best friend from high school, Della Cain-Cumbee (Frances Nichols).
Maybelle quit school to take care of her ailing mother Ida and focused all of her attention at home, detaching from her first and only love Della. After holding on for 20 years Ida finally passed away leaving Maybelle to reflect on her stunted life. Della is long married to her college beau JW Cumbee but has always held a flame for Maybelle.
In this original web series set in rural Virginia, Maybelle will discover herself for the first time and fight for the woman she loves.
Bridget, who also wrote the series, and co-star Frances released some sexy pulp novel-style pin-ups which just might help you get in the mood to sign up for a Tello membership.
