Thank you! It was such fun getting to know a bit more about Hope and Kim and you know, as an international fan (of both Otalia and Venice) I was truly warmed by what both Kim and Hope said. Networks rarely care about international viewers - they don't count us, they don't care to count us and yet there's so many of us out there, willing and able to support our fandom. I'm glad the Venice team is taking us into account. I'm really psyched about Venice. As a "gay lady" I really appreciate the fact that Kim is writing one of her main characters as openly gay, but that it's just a part of who she is, not THE part. That's always been kind of the thing that has bothered me about the representation of lesbians and gay men on TV. As soon as someone is "outed", it becomes about their sexuality and usually ONLY about their sexuality and not about who they are as people. My sexuality is only a part of who I am, but it doesn't define me and that's what I'd love to see reflected and it sounds like Kim's on the right track (at least for what I want to see). Different, interesting characters from all walks of life, straight, gay, whatever... as long as it's interesting and you know, funny. Funny's important 'cause let's face it, us angsty filled Otalia fans needs some laughs right about now ;) So I'm really excited about Venice and with a fun team like Kim, Hope and Crystal, I think we're gonna be happy whatever the outcome because they are clearly doing it from the heart. And we appreciate it. A LOT :D So thanks again, Schmootz! You just made my day with this interview. What a fantastic interview! Thank you!

You asked great questions and I enjoyed the banter shared among all of you. It was a great in-depth interview providing an awesome diversity of topics. Hell, with the excitement over Venice and the love driving this series...Kimmy, Hope, and Crystal just might fix health care and find a solution for world peace! Great job, mindschmootz!!!
