AfterEllen.com: What is VENICE going to be about?
Crystal Chappell: Venice is about a community of people in Venice Beach, California. The lead character, her name is Gina, she’s an out lesbian; she’s a businesswoman, a very successful interior designer of hotels. Her mother died when she was 16. Her father’s a retired Colonel, very disapproving of everything and everyone in general, and she’s sort of had to raise her little brother. And had her heart broken very early on, and has had lousy relationships ever since.
So she’s just trying to find love in Venice Beach.
AE: How many episodes are you planning?
CC: At this point approximately 12 [episodes], approximately seven to 10 minutes maybe on the high end. At this point we’ll try to do five seasons a year.
AE: There’s been a big complaint among viewers about the fact that Olivia and Natalia haven’t had a realistic physical relationship. When did you find out that these two characters weren’t going to have the same kind of physical relationship that the straight couples on the show were having?
CC: Well, the first kiss I think aired in January, and at that point I just assumed that once these two women said that they were in love with each other that there would be more physical intimacy. I just assumed that. So I imagine at the same time as everyone else! [laughs] You know, I only got my scripts a week in advance and so once I started to see that, I mean, I certainly can’t say anything beyond that, but would I have moved it along personally? Yes, I would have. I would have liked to have seen more intimacy, I would have moved it along much quicker.
