Venice the Series Ditches Otalia Love Story?

Filed Under Entertainment, Lesbians 

Hmm . . . I’m not sure what to make of this.

For months there’s been much talk about the new web series Venice – a series I thought would expand on the Otalia romance developed in the canceled soap opera Guiding Light. After viewing this teaser, it doesn’t appear as if Otalia fans will be seeing much action between their two favorite daytime soap stars. As I understood it during all the pre-launch hoopla, the characters’ names would change but fans would finally get to see their relationship blossom. I don’t get that from the teaser.

I can’t really tell what Venice’s storyline will be from this 1:39 clip, but I bet the series will provide lesbian bloggers with plenty to talk about. What we will be talking about remains to be seen.

In the meantime, please don’t forget about all those great lesbian web series out there that have cleared a smooth trail for Venice to follow.

The one great thing I did notice about the Venice teaser was that indie musician Jen Foster does the series theme song. It’s a much better theme song than the one The L Word used. It’s so much easier on the ears.

    Crystal, Kimmy, and Hope have all made a point of saying this is NOT Otalia 2.0. This isn't suppose to be a continuation of Otalia. Kimmy created these characters for Venice.

    They may have created the characters for Venice, but they used "Otalia's" success to market the series to Otalia fans – which gives people hope that the Otalia love story will continue, even if they DID say it wouldn't.

    Yes, 'Otalia' was 'used' to market this series. It remains to be seen if the love story of 'Gina' (played by Crystal) and 'Ani' (played by Jessica) will take a distant backseat to the 'Gina' and 'Tracy' love story. As an Otlaia fan I was all game for a different storyline between CC and JL … just as long as we got to see them act together. Their chemistry is what made it interesting… I would say almost as much as Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Conner's onscreen chemistry made watching Xena so much fun! I wish them well but I'm not sure I'll be watching 'Venice'.
