Showtime doesn't want Alice's L Word spin-off

[veron851129]

Before the Hotlink removedThe L Word's final season, Showtime announced that they were developing a spin-off series around Alice Pieszecki, played by Leisha Hailey (aka that chick from those extra-annoying yogurt commercials). Because of the wacky muuurder plot that drove the sixth season, this spin-off would have featured Alice in prison. At some point this must have seemed like a good idea, because a pilot was made, but recently it was revealed that this will not be moving on.This is probably for the best, really. Towards the end, Hotlink removed was getting kind of exhausting and nothing about Alice made me want to watch a spin-off about her. Plus, seeing her being all quirky and bubbly in prison would have gotten old super-fast, assuming that's the main schtick.
At the same time, they may have written the final season with the spin-off in
mind,purposefully leaving certain ends untied to continue in the new series. After all, we never learned who took the fall for Jenny's death and can only assume that Alice turned herself in to save her friends. Or the police found out she actually committed the murder. Or she did something completely different to land herself in jail. Or she just wanted to visit prison for kicks.

Well, have at it, fan fiction nerds. Showtime's not doing anything with it.

That show was such a mess halfway through its run, is it any wonder? And Showtime supposedly has enough shows in its slate already.
