Premier of Venice!

This is my first blog, actually, I made it so I can do stuff like this...so I'm doing it for Venice and I'm hoping I can get the show out there for these really talented actors! :)

So, Crystal Chappell and Jessica Leccia teamed up for a new webseries called Venice...it's following their old "Otalia" story from the now cancelled show Guiding Light.

My opinion, it was as good as anticipated. Crystal--whom I love--played Gina, a gorgeous woman who has a past with Jessica's character, Ani.

I like the way it started out, Ani&Gina kissing on her bed after a night of sex...after not seeing each other for a while. It was the much anticipated kiss, right around the 30 second mark.

Clearly, Owen--Gina's brother, played by Galen Gering--wasn't happy with his sister's choice to have sex with someone who caused her pain a time before...he was phenomenal. No, I'm not biased because I'm in love with him.

:) I'm happy for Crystal, Kimmy and Hope, I hope they have great success with this. Most of all, I can't wait until the next episode airs next week. Hopefully this time it'll have Nadia Bjorlin--who plays Ani's love interest, Lesli Kay--who plays Gina's love interest, and Gina Tognoni who plays Owen's love interest...yes, there's a straight couple.

But then again, the whole show is not based on homosexuality, but it brings a true love to the computer screen--and heats it up, too!--and it shows that you can love anyone.

Also, Crystal Chappell's real life husband--co-star on Days as Lawrence Alamain and on Guiding Light as Vince Russo--will be on the show, too...apparently he has a weird fetish.

I'm hoping the rest of Season 1 will be as good as the first episode...except longer, please, ladies! :)
