Network nixes lesbian kiss on Veronica Mars
Thursday, November 23rd, 2006 on SpoilerBuzz.comGuess The CW execs don’t realize that girl-on-girl can actually *improve* ratings, but guess they must have been worried about boycots that kind of action can bring to mainstream networks circa 1989. But alas, a lesbian kiss between guest star Patty Hearst and actress Keri Pratt got axed.
Apparently, it sounds like it was a go right until the two actresses got on set. The NYPost has the gossipy scoop, as always.
Patty Hearst hit the small screen last night for a campy cameo in the CW channel’s “Veronica Mars.”
Playing an heiress trustee of the show’s Hearst College (get it?), writers gave the former Symbionese symbol a fake kidnap subplot and even a lady love interest.
But when it came time to kiss actress Keri Pratt, the suits decided that (Democratic Congress be damned!) there would be no lesbian lip-lock.
“I meet Keri and I’m like, hello,” Hearst told me yesterday.
“We didn’t know until we were on the set we couldn’t actually kiss. We were all set for that.”
And to think, this could have gotten a lot more people really interested in the show… imagine the buzz with a Patty Hearst girly lip lock!
