Crystal, Hope, and Kim are such smart women!!!!! These women know their fans and audience so well that they are not only getting soap actors to attract us soap fans, but they are getting actors that are popular with the gay/lesbian community as well I love it!!!!!!

This web show is gonna be big

Wow, this is a brilliant move on so many levels.

Not only is Elizabeth Keener a great talent, but she's already got a development deal for her own series with the here! network. If the web series takes off, like I hope it will, Keener could provide an entree for the web series to get corporate backing.

LOGO's taken a few web series and turned them into original programming on their network and I wouldn't be surprised to see here! do the same thing.

I'm just over the moon right now, I loved Dawn Denbo, I even loved her lover Cindy (Courtney GH) and if Crystal could score Leisha Hailey or Erin Daniels she will official help me get over losing two of my fav shows GL and L word.

Also does it seriously boggle the mind that CC can put this all together this quickly yet P&G couldnt produce a GL webseries soap? It just proves to me more that they just didnt want to which is a shame. I hope that Daytime Confidential can score an interview with Crystal about Venice soon.

Found this interview with Elizabeth - http://www.cherrygrrl.com/she%E2%80%99s-elizabeth-keener-and-this-is-her...

She seems very cool and down to earth! I loved her as Denbo on the L Word.

We take total credit for this. Haha. Anyway, Keener is super awesome and I hope Crystal is ready for her because she is quite the force. We talked with her on the pod a few weeks ago:
