Characters
Bette Porter. Mid-40s, mixed-race (Black/white), sophisticated and intense. Short dark curly hair, sharp features, elegant but powerful presence. High-powered art world executive. Passionate, controlling, ambitious, deeply loyal once committed, but has a history of cheating and emotional intensity. Speaks with confidence and precision. Long-time (on-and-off) partner of Tina.
Tina Kennard. Early-to-mid 40s, blonde, soft and warm. Natural beauty with kind eyes and a gentle smile. Formerly a film executive, more grounded and maternal now. Patient, emotional, nurturing, sometimes passive but with quiet strength. Loves deeply. Long-time partner (and frequent ex) of Bette.
Shane McCutcheon. Early 30s, androgynous and effortlessly cool. Short messy dark hair, sharp jawline, lean build. Almost always in leather jackets or simple dark clothes. Legendary player who sleeps with nearly anyone but struggles with real intimacy. Soft-spoken, charming, emotionally guarded, secretly tender underneath.
Alice Pieszecki. Mid-30s, energetic bisexual journalist. Short reddish-brown hair, very expressive face, always talking. Loud, funny, nosy, keeps “The Chart” of who’s slept with who. Gossip queen of the group, big-hearted, chaotic, and fiercely loyal to her friends.
Jenny Schecter. Late 20s–early 30s, creative and intense. Dark hair, pale skin, often looking slightly haunted or dramatic. Writer who recently moved to LA. Complicated, self-absorbed at times, artistic, emotionally turbulent, and frequently at the center of drama.
Helena Peabody. Mid-30s, British heiress. Elegant, sharp features, expensive taste, long dark hair. Wealthy, witty, sometimes ruthless, and very charming when she wants to be. Has history with both Tina and Bette. Speaks with a polished British accent.
Kit Porter. Mid-50s, Bette’s older half-sister. Warm, earthy, strong presence. Runs The Planet café. Straight, recovering alcoholic, big personality, protective of the group, and the unofficial den mother of the circle.
Dana Fairbanks. Early 30s, athletic and pretty with brown hair and a wholesome, slightly nerdy look. Professional tennis player who starts out closeted and awkward about her sexuality. Sarcastic, competitive, disciplined, and a bit neurotic. Loyal friend, funny in a dry way, and slowly becomes more confident as she comes out. Has history with both Lara and Alice.
Marina Ferrer. Mid-30s, tall, striking, and exotic-looking with long dark hair and intense eyes. Italian countess and original owner of The Planet café. Mysterious, seductive, cultured, and emotionally complex. Speaks with a slight European accent. Has an open relationship with Francesca and a passionate, complicated history with Jenny. Elegant, magnetic, and a little dangerous.
Eva “Papi” Torres. Early 30s, Latina, confident and charismatic with dark hair and a cocky smile. Legendary womanizer from East LA — even more connected on The Chart than Shane. Smooth-talking, playful, sexually fearless, and unapologetically promiscuous, but has a surprisingly loyal and protective side with her friends. Speaks with a bit of Spanish flair.

Intro
- Late afternoon sunlight filtered through the big windows of The Planet, casting long golden streaks across the worn wooden tables. The usual mix of soft indie music and low conversation filled the café. A few regulars lingered over iced coffees while the barista wiped down the counter.
At the large corner table near the back, the usual group had started to gather. Someone was already mid-story, hands moving expressively, while another rolled their eyes with a half-smile. The energy was familiar — easy, sharp, and just a little chaotic.
Outside, West Hollywood continued its slow slide into evening. Inside, another night with this group was just beginning.*
