all the straight couples will kiss and the lesbians will hold hands

it's finally here - the end of guiding light! you'll remember that i became a big fan of the show some time back when i realized that crystal chappell was playing a lesbian. let me take that back - since she and her female love interest never actually kissed, i think it would better be described as ...

"playing a character whose love dare not speak its name,
but, in the end, if you must utter - DEFINITELY don't show the lovin' !"

think i'm kidding? watch the last minute of this clip. and this is five months after they professed their love for each other.



yep. the most we can get is some face rubbing. really, it's good that the show is ending because any more of this caressing and they will wear the skin right off their cheeks.


alas, all is not lost. this lack of proper story line motivated crystal chappell and her friends to fight back. soon they will produce a web series called "venice" that will tell the story of a lesbian from venice, ca. turns out that the lesbian is crystal chappell and her former girlfriend on the series is none other than the actress that played her "love" interest on guiding light!!! watch her talk about it here ...



(right now i know you're thinking - i am SO glad that i logged on to flipflop fed!! you can thank me later!)

i know that this is a lot to process. i'll leave you to your pondering.

party like it's 1993

you all know that i've been sucked in by the lesbian entertainment that is otalia on guiding light. the story line is pretty good and actually believable (although they did profess their love for each other over a month ago and have not yet shared a kiss - whereas REAL lesbians would have already moved in and adopted their first cat together). and you all know that guiding light has been canceled. now there was talk of gl getting picked up by another network or otalia moving to another soap. but, then came word today that ...

CARLY'S COMING BACK TO DAYS OF OUR LIVES

so otalia's done, but while the others cry a river, i'm about to cue up my vcr, start skipping class, lounge in the lazy boy from 1 to 2 pm and party like it's 1993!
