According to Reuters, Showtime and a certain Ilene Chaiken are in the very initial stages of creating a spin-off series to the hit (and miss) TV show, The L Word.

Reuters reports that one lurvely member of the cast will be starring in the new programme – and I, personally, hope that it’s Leisha Hailey. Seemingly none of the L Word cast members have yet been informed who will take this starring role, so it’s a case of “watch this space”.

Also reported is that the L Word itself will leave us with an open-ended storyline which will be continued on the intertubes (de what, Gay?), but this storyline may then be picked up by the spin-off series.

How convoluted.

I have a horrible feeling, though, that this new TV series will feature that god-awful character we love to hate: [*pause for dramatic effect*] Jenny Schecter. Oh Jesus. It shouldn’t be so – we all know this – but just look at past events: Chaiken has done nothing but indulge her love for this most loathesome personality. Despite the worldwide hate campaign against Jenny from lesbians everywhere (except, maybe, three – you know who you are), the show’s creator has seen fit to lead wee Jen in her plot twists from the ridiculous to the irritating to the ridiculous to the irritating to the manatee-ophilic to the oh-god-just-somebody-gouge-out-my-eyes-and-ears.

Let’s hope this is more of a Frasier and less of a Joey.

In any event, all of this has to be true because the report was penned by one Kimberly Nordykei. I kid you not.
