-word.com representatives have phoned in a few updates:
Neither of the last two episodes of Season 3 have been filmed yet. According to filming schedule reports L-word.com had received earlier in the year, this puts the show several weeks behind schedule. We had been told by Showtime execs that there was to be a several week break in filming early in November around the time Jennifer Beals had her baby, with minimal shooting to occur after that break. The cast has just received the scripts for episode 11 (of a 12 episode season), so even they don't know how the season will end.
-word.com representatives have already interviewed Laurel Holloman and Anne Ramsey. Tonight, they're interviewing Meredith McGeachie, and tomorrow they have Eric Mabius and Rachel Shelley on tap.
The convention is very well attended with about 600 convention goers having the time of their L lives.
Laurel Holloman explained that the L word filming schedule changed yet again, allowing her to get to London for the weekend. Jennifer Beals is filming now, but Laurel isn't required on set until Wednesday, so she made the long trek with her baby and husband. In the spirit of the location of the event, Laurel is wearing a Union Jack t-shirt today. She is flying back out on Sunday to be sure she rested when filming resumes on Wednesday.
One of the questions from the Q&A session was aimed at Laurel. She was asked who is a better kisser, Jennifer Beals or Rachel Shelley. Diplomatically, she answered that they're both great kissers. :-)
To round up this update, we were delighted to hear that Laurel is a visitor of L-word.com. She doesn't read fan fiction, but she enjoys the discussion board, in particular the "funny captions" thread. She says that Kate and Leisha are also visitors of L-word.com.
Let us finish up with big shout-outs to Kate and Leisha in case they're checking up on their friends in London this weekend. Make sure you don't miss out on the next one! We're told that the fans nearly brought the house down when Laurel was introduced. She was so touched by the reception that she was choked up. Come join her next time!
