Kace's Top 50 L Word Characters

By Kace

Note: This is an editorial and does not necessarily represent the opinions or position of L–word.com.

Normally, Kace does a Top 10 list, but when he came to use with his top 50 characters, we just had to run with it! It just goes to show how many characters we've seen in the first 3 seasons!

Enjoy

````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

 

#50 - Joyce Wischnia

She was witty, she appeared to be something of an activist in her spare
time and has played a role, not once but twice in the deterioration of
Bette and Tina's relationship. The first time around, it was while
representing Tina. That however went out the window as Joyce tried
unsuccessfully to seduce the then-pregnant Tina in a guest house. The
second time around, it was while representing Bette, with Bette looking to
take sole custody of Angelica from Tina. Through it all, Joyce retained
her rough edge charm and since of humor.

FanFic Potential - If anyone were to start up a legal drama type of fic,
Joyce would be perfect for it. Otherwise, unless she's being hooked up by
a 'shipper there isn't much else other than plot device. Still, if an
excuse can be found to have her make a cameo, do it.

#49 - Charlotte Birch

Sadly, Charlotte's only real connection to the main cast was Jenny...which
may explain why she hasn't been heard from since Season 2. She was there
to advance Jenny's writing abilities with her college course. The other
known connections with characters were Jenny's fellow student, Hunter as
well as Burr Connor, the closet gay actor. Charlotte represents that
Untapped Character Potential category.

FanFic Potential - Probably not a popular idea, given the fandom's
neverending thirst for yet another Bette/Tina story or Alice/Dana story,
etc. (not that there's anything wrong with that, mind you...) However, if
you're one of those Fic types who's looking to think outside the box a bit,
there's some pretty good potential with Charlotte and giving some sort of
coda to whatever relationship developed, if any between her and Hunter.

#48 - Francessca Wolff

Is she evil, or just written that way? Ever the seductress, Francessca
became part of the tangled mess that was Jenny/Marina in Season 1. With
Season 1 ending and Season 2 starting the way it did with Marina's
troubling departure, Francessca's character became an enigma of sorts as
Francessca's whereabouts being unknown became lost in the flurry of
departures in Season 2's premiere.

FanFic Potential - For those trying to figure out what really happened with
Marina, the possibilities are endless. Francessca has a few question marks
attached to her as to how and why Marina left and whether or not Francessca
and Manfredi know of one another in any significant way.

#47 - Becky Haspel

Tim's wife made an appearance in the infamous Losing The Light episode in
Season 3. Seemingly inoffensive and possibly a voice of reason to Tim's
inner madness.

FanFic Potential - Not much, really unless something weird were to happen
in your story.

#46 - Phoebe Sparkle

Ride the ship, get ridden by Phoebe. Phoebe appears to be the foremost
expert in all things concerning sex which kinda makes her appealing right
off the bat. While known primarily to some fans for her slightly hilarious
intimate scenes with Amy Ziff, for Phoebe it seemed to be about living up
to a self made reputation, especially as she and Shane wind up not getting
it on during the Olivia cruise.

FanFic Potential - Phoebe is the kind of character who provide the catalyst
for a crazy turn of events with a sexual dynamic. Having her suddenly set
up as an upper tier supporting character would be insane, but probably make
for some great moments.

#45 - Dr. Farber

She's a Sex Doctor with a clown nose. What's not to like about this
woman???

FanFic Potential - Like Phoebe, Dr. Farber is a character who could provide
the catalyst for a crazy turn of events with a sexual dynamic. For those
looking to shoot into a comedically sexual story, just think Phoebe/Farber.

#44 - Valerie Goins

Another of those great untapped potential characters. Her appearance was
brief in Season 2 as she was in a relationship with Leigh. The
Leigh/Valerie relationship however ended almost as soon as it was
introduced and there's a great mystery there as to what factored into that
breakup and if or how much Helena was involved in it.

FanFic Potential - Leigh/Valerie would be a fun story to tell, especially
the breakup with Leigh winding up with Helena.

#43 - Marcus Allenwood

Without him, there may not be an Angelica. And he seems like a nice guy.

FanFic Potential - Can't really think of anything major. For those into
futuristic stories, there's always Marcus being the male role model for a
young, but growing Angelica.

#42 - Veronica Bloom

Psy...chotic. But not without her charm. The maniacal film producer
served as Shane's boss in Season 2, but then she wound up in the Land Of
The Dead Marios (the place where fictional characters fall off the face of
the Earth to possibly not be seen again).

FanFic Potential - If nothing else, she'd make for a great cameo given the
right circumstance.

#41 - Triple

Slim Daddy's ace sidekick provided for much comedic fodder during his brief
run in Season 1. If he's remembered for nothing else, there'll always be,
"And that...that's his white lady!"

FanFic Potential - Just imagine him moving into West Hollywood. Hilarity
would be sure to ensue. Otherwise, he's a great component in the event
you're interested in having Slim Daddy make a cameo.

Comments: Wow Kace...I am still trying to wrap my brain around the fact that you have Joyce Wischnia at number 50 while Valerie Goins (a character I barely remember) is 44! Joyce is at the bottom of the list while Triple is 41 (I am scratching my head now.) Joyce is dead last while Annette Bishop (who the hell was she again) is 37. Joyce is dragging the bottom while Trish Peverell is 32 (WTF!) Joyce is at the bottom of your barrel while Ruth (again, who?) is 30, Howie is 25, ad Winnie Mann is 15 (for the love of God!!) 15 Kace? And, last but not least, you have Bette Porter as 11, four spots behind Uta Refson???!!!! Thanks for taking the time to put this list together, but I have to say...are you kidding me!!!??? LOL

Comments: I would have switched three to one and Lara would have been further down, but okay, I know you love her so I'll let it slide! ;) Alice would have been my #1 with Bette and Shane following, but too each their own!

Gee -- and i am speechless at your treatment of Bette ( who would make her President - crazy ?) BE AFRAID DUDE - VERY AFRAID

Comments: #48- Francesca Wolff. Just what the F did Marina see in a woman who has less warmth than a penguin in the iceberg that hit the Titanic?#43- Marcus Allenwood. I just want to say that that was one tall drink of a man.#40- Lisa the Lesbian Man. Alice, how did you last so long with him/her?#38- Lenore Pieszecki. $20 says that nothing happened with Shane. $5 if they just kissed.#2- Dana. I'm a diehard Alice and Dana fan. I'd put Dana at 1 and Alice at 2. But that's just me.Great listings. I never knew somebody could have this much detail in the L Word from the first show the s3 finale. Let's hope things improve among the characters in the next season(s).

Comments: Dude! Lara Perkins at #1!! YOU ROCK! I personally thought Lara was a great character and I don't think she was given the chance to truly shine. Lauren Lee Smith is a hugely talented actress (seriously easy on the eyes too) But even as a guest star, Lara had such potential..it's a shame we didn't get to know her a little better..a real shame..

Comments: I am disgusted that Bette Porter is #11 when she keeps the show going with her being so damn sexy and plus she just a damn good actress. Hell, she's the best actress on th show. Lara should have been lower because she didnt really do much.

From: GonzaloCarrillo
Comments: Hey! Its great, I love Lara too! I guess there are other characters so important in the show like Bette, Shane & Alice personally I guess they rock! But Lauren is so beutiful I would like to see her in the promotional photos! She has to be in the regular cast for my opinio, anyway, hope that we can keep in touch!

Comments: Are you out of your f...... ming? What are you smoking? Bette should be #1, even though she is not the Alpha Bette we all love. SHe has at least turn inetrnally and confronted her greatest short comings. SHe, like Tina, is on a journey of self-discovery. She should be # 1 with Tina as # 2. ALice, helena, shane and Kit should be in close proximity. Lara? Please, she is OK but a doormat none the less. -ps- Perhaps if you share whatever you are smoking with the rest of us we will be able to see your point of view.

From: gemo
Comments: OK, we all know you were on something, having a weird trip on some bad stuff or what? God, Bette and Tina have to be #1&2. Alice & Shane are also top characters. Maybe with a few more glasses of French vine i'll understand a little more what your trying to do here except for taking up cyber space with carbage articles.

Comments: What the f... kind of a list is that? I seriously recommend you switch to another kind of drug. Bette #11 ????

Comments: nice list. unlike certain people, i appreciate your opinion :) good job

From: funnyone
Comments: This is so wrong its irritating. I've always thought Alice's lists were inane, but they're infinitely preferable to this and at least forgivable given her profession and environment. And she always stops at 10. Why do you continue to inflict this dreck upon us?

From: Rau
Comments: I actually agree with your line up mostly but as much as I love Lara and want her as a regular...so I'm going to put her in one of my FanFic as a major character...Bette is no1 for me...I been in love with Jenny Beals since her 1st movie and I love every moment she's on my screen; Marina is another of my favorites and saw great potential for her with Marina; Tina well sometimes she gets on my nerves but the character is believable...I HATE that she's with Henry...I don't want her and Bette back 2gether right now, I'm a PATIENT person...I see a possibility for their reunion later...Peggy Peabody is a great character; another fav of mine is Dana Delaney/the senator...Jenny's fine by me...Alice is great!!! Leigh is a honey bring her back...Helena is a great character...Candace was a stunner and like to see more of her...Kit needs development/Get rid of Angus, he is so boring!!!!

From: axeLa
Comments: well i have a big question mark running around my head why lara is on the first slot, and bette on the 11th? i mean.. alice shouldn't have been considerably no.1 .. follows shane, bette, then helena.. oh well.. i might as well know whats the criteria for this ranking u made, kace..=) lol
