Coming back again ... hopefully

So, soon all the new shows will premiere, and all our old faves will return. It's that time of the year again. My good friend Kat gave me the idea of doing a recap of sort of my favorite lesbian couples from last season. I then decided to stretch it out a couple days and do more than just last season, but those will start coming on Thursday. Now, here are my top favorite lesbian couples from last season.


Looking at old posts, I'm sure you all can guess one of my faves. While Callie and Erica didn't officially become a couple at all last season, the last several episodes hinted at it coming. So, without further ado, here's the kiss between Callie and Erica on the season finale of Grey's Anatomy.



Callie has been on the show since the middle of season one, when all of a sudden she was everywhere. She quickly became on of the main characters as she developed a relationship with one of the interns, George. Erica made a couple cameos early on but did not become a regular until after Preston Burke left (I'm sure many of you remember the whole Isiah Washington calling T.R. Knight a fag). These two characters became friends and Callie and George broke up after George had an affair with Izzy. Callie never even considered Erica has more than a friend until Addison came back for one episode and said something to her. Callie than started sleeping with McSteamy, and well, the rest you saw in the video.


There weren't that many lesbian couples on network television last season (if any other than Callica). So, we're moving on to cable. There were several different couples on The L Word, as there usually are, and its actually kind of hard for me to choose just one. Bette and Tina got back together, although, unlike a lot of people, I loved Bette and Jodi. Jenny seemed to have a good relationship until the end, even Shane had a good thing going for her, until Molly's mom decided to mess with Shane's head (btw, what is it with Shane and art shows? She keeps getting her heart broken at them). I, this time like a lot of people, LOVED Alice and Tasha. Alice has always been one of my faves (became my fave after Dana died) and it was good to see her happy. PS, I am trying to keep this clean, so you'll have to go to youtube to see more provocative scenes. This video does have several parts to it.



Alice and Tasha's relationship began during the fourth season. Tasha, a solider in the Army Reserves, was a friend of Papi's. The two met and sparks flew. In the fifth season, Tasha is kicked out of the army for being gay. At first she was fighting the system, but after seeing Alice get grilled, decided the Army was not worth hiding her life. As the fifth season ended, it looked as though Alice was contemplating having an affair.


The third couple is Spashley or for those of you who have no clue what that means, Spencer and Ashley from South of Nowhere. In season 3A, Spencer and Ashley's relationship was pretty rocky, but at the end, it seemed like things were getting good again. Spashley is probably one of the youngest lesbian couples on television, both girls were in high school when they started dating.

Warning, this video contains some scenes from Season 3B, which has not aired in the US yet. The "spoiler" scenes are clearly marked.


Spencer and Ashley started out as just friends in Season one, but by the end of the season, they were falling in bed together (literally). Season two opened up the morning after one ended, and hinted that the two had sex. One of the most emotional episodes of SoN happened during season two, when Spencer's mother, Paula, walked in on Spencer and Ashley about to have sex. The rest of the season seemed to focus more on Paula's refusal to accept Spencer and Ashley. While Spencer and Ashley went to prom together, at the end it did not look like they were survive as a couple much longer. Season three opened, Spencer's brother was dead, Aiden had been shot, and Ashley was leaving LA. When she came back, Spashley as over and Ashley was dating Aiden. Spencer ended up dating another girl, Carmen, but netiher of those relationships lasted through the first half of season 3. 3A ended with Spencer, standing naked in Ashley's door.


So, while these were my fave lesbian couples from last season, there weren't many others. Like I said, I only wanted to include one from The L Word, so there's a few couples left out, but there just weren't that many on television. If you remember more, please, comment and let me know.
