Lesbian Favourite Jennifer Beals Set to Return to TV!

Great news!... and bad news.

The good news: Jennifer Beals is set to return to your television screen! Eek!

The bad news: The new series she'll be starring in is run by *gulp* The L Word creator, Ilene Chaiken.

If you're a Beals fan, you'll know she played the marvellous, sassy, badass, Bette Porter in The L Word and she's been on the big and small screens since the 80s, her big break being the camp yet awesome dance movie, Flashdance.

Since then, she's had bit-parts in hit TV shows such as Castle, Lie To Me and the not-so-hit TV show, The Chicago Code.

Anyway, she's making a big return pretty soon with new show, Venice.

Although it doesn't look like there's much in the way of LGBT regarding Venice, J. Beals will be back on your screens!

If you're a Twitter user, you may have spotted this tweet yesterday:

And that got the lesbians excited. They were speculating everything from an L Word spin-off to an L Word movie, but this is what we got.

Not gonna lie, I'm slightly disappointed it wasn't more The L Word orientated...

What about you? Are you disappointed Venice will have nothing to do with The L Word? Or are you just glad to see Beals back on screen?

Let us know in the comments!

Brittana & Calzona Return!

No, I'm not talking about folded up pizza and I'm not singing "Rule Brittania" to you in honour of my British heritage.

You probably already know, but this week we saw the return of two of our favourite "couples"* to the screen.

First up, we had Glee on Tuesday, which saw the return of Brittany (Heather Morris) and Santana (Naya Rivera).

Now there wasn't much in the way of obvious lesbianism during the season 3 premiere of Glee this week, but we have been promised many a time by the creators, including top dog, Ryan Murphy, that this season we will see Santana accepting herself.

Whether or not Brittany will be by her side is another matter completely, but it'll be interesting to see how the writers handle a lesbian couple on the show. And if the gay couple, Kurt & Blaine, are anything to go by, they'll execute it with class and dignity.

And in Grey's Anatomy this Thursday, we saw the return of Callie (Sara Ramirez), Arizona (Jessica Capshaw) and their daughter Sofia.

Last season was a roller coaster ride for Calzona - they moved in together, Arizona moved to Africa, they broke up, Callie got pregnant with Mark's (Eric Dane) baby, they fought, they got back together, they got caught in a car crash, Callie gave birth and they got married.

Did you get all that? I told you it was a roller coaster.

Anyway, this week's double season opener saw Calzona pretty much as a happy couple with a few adorable scenes of the two of them with baby Sofia.

Jessica Capshaw, who plays Arizona, has recently said that Calzona are currently just enjoying married life, but expect something to go wrong for them any time soon.

I mean, it wouldn't be Grey's without drama, right?

Do you lesbos watch either of these shows? What are you hoping will happen next for these couples?

You can catch Glee on FOX, Tuesdays 8/7c and Grey's Anatomy on ABC, Thursdays 9/8c if you live in the States.

*Brittana are not officially a couple, I know, but you just wait.
