TiBette Forever? Laurel Holloman Shocks 'L Word' Viewers With Return as Tina Kennard

'The L Word’ fans can not lend a hand but wonder if Tina shall be in the reboot. Keep reading for the entirety we learn about where Laurel Holloman is these days.

With simplest two episodes to move, The L Word: Generation Q is proving that it isn't carried out unexpected its fanatics.

January 12's "Loose Ends" picked up after Bette sort-of-accidentally pushed Felicity's husband down the stairs following him accosting her and Angie after her play. And who has pop out of the woodwork to deal with the fallout?

None rather than the beloved Mama T, aka Bette's ex-partner, Tina Kennard from the original L Word. 

Laurel Holloman shocks fans with a Tina Kennard cameo.

We had in the past reported that Laurel Holloman's Tina Kennard would likely be endured to be mentioned off-screen, as she appears to be concerned in the raising of TiBette's daughter, Angie, but not anything had ready us for Tina showing up at Bette's literal door in her time of want.

Just when Bette is about to drop out of the mayoral race in the wake of her affair and low-key attack making the rounds, Tina presentations up at her door. "Angie called me," she says.

Tina proves to be supportive of Bette and her goals, showing to be a level-headed co-parenter who desires to hear her ex's side of the train destroy. However, it is not lengthy till she proves to be stuck in her old Mama T techniques. 

Once Angie passes her riding test, Tina is quick to attack Bette for being able to "create so much space" for his or her daughter. "That doesn't come natural to you," Tina says. "You could never do that for me. You just took up so much space."

"I'm not asking you to apologize but I definitely put your career first, your feelings first," she says, looking like she is attempting to pick out a fight when Bette is already below a large number of pressure. 

Considering how quickly Tina is in a position to make the series about her traumatic self as soon as again (she barely lasted through quarter-hour of pleasantries earlier than dredging up the previous), we virtually surprise why we have been so insistent on her to return to the reboot within the first place.

Part of why we had been so convinced that Tina wasn't going to return again has to do with Laurel's own departure from the performing global to focus on her painting occupation. Plus, the 48-year-old may be a mom to 2 ladies who are still in school, something that most probably takes up numerous her time as smartly.

Laurel hates labels however considers herself "straight."

While Tina was once famously bisexual on The L Word, supposedly having handiest ever slept with Bette (that is, until those interrogation tapes were released following the sequence finale), Laurel herself, who as soon as known as bisexual like her personality, sat down with Diva Mag to set the report instantly.

"I think maybe I shouldn't identify as bisexual," she stated in an interview final 12 months. "I'm just not sure it'd be right to use that label again. I used it in my 20s because I was trying to be honest. I had an experience after I shot [The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love] and I thought it was a possibility. I guess I thought I could be bisexual."

"But then it never happened again," she persevered. "I've never had a relationship with a woman so all my gay friends are like, You can't use that label." Even Leisha Hailey's Alice had one thing to mention about it. "You're a straight girl that had a bi-curious hiccup," is what she informed Laurel.

Laurel does not need "backing off that label" to make her seem petrified of her id, alternatively. "As an older woman, I'm very clear about my sexuality," she continued. "I'm more solid in my identity, I never question it... I'm comfortable in my skin... I consider myself straight, I guess, but I hate that label too. I hate all labels!"

In their hatred of labels, Laurel and her persona Tina Kennard indisputably have common flooring.
