“Dani,” Frustration showed on Bette’s face. Her voice became very quiet.” Listen to me very carefully. Tina is trying to help us get back on track. She’s came here from Toronto to help us in any way she can. She’s an expert on handling the press in situations like this. She has done this type of damage control dozens of times in her career. I welcome her advice. I’ve seen her in action firsthand. Believe me; you don’t want to get in her way. It would be wise to listen to her suggestions.”
“Bette,” Tina placed her right hand on Bette’s forearm. “If I may address this?”
”Please.” Bette said bewildered by Dani’s ridiculous reaction. “Be my guest.”
“Dani,” Tina began carefully, but confidently. “I understand that it’s not easy to have someone else appearing to interfere with this campaign and how you are handling Bette’s PR. My intention is not to step on your toes or tell you word for word what to do. You’re the expert here for PR. However, I have been in the entertainment industry for over twenty years and understand how to handle crisis situations such as this. I’ve handled more than I want to remember. I can offer you useful advice from those experiences. I really do just want to help.”
“Okay, I get it.”
“That being said,” Tina continued with a resolute look on her face. “As I told you before, Bette and Angie are my family and I will do whatever is necessary to protect them. You have had success in your job with your father’s company as his PR manager. I would expect you want to do the same in this campaign.”
“How do you know what I did for my Dad’s company?” Dani frowned, surprise showing on her face.
“I’ve done some research on anyone that has an association with my family.” Tina stated frankly, folding her hands in front of her on the table.
Bette looked at Tina in awe. “Really?”
“Yes,” Tina nodded her head at Bette in acknowledgement. “Remember that Intel is so important. Right Dani?”
“Yes, extremely.” Dani acknowledged, realizing that Tina could be a formidable ally. Maybe she could learn something from Tina.
“Being in Toronto doesn’t mean I don’t know what’s going on there in LA with people that have contact with my family.” Tina explained. “Pierce – you did some marvelous work with the local congressman here in LA in the last election. Your work with the Cali senator a few years back was outstanding. Bette certainly got the best campaign manager in you.”

Great – Tina in charge! I like alpha Tina!
But i see a huge problem in Bette’s campaign – i see all forgot that in LA lives not only members of LGBT community. I really don’t understand what Bette can suggest for majority of voters – white middle class straight people. Or latina – where agenda about immigration for them for example? Shelters, fight for LGBT – it’s not their agenda. What gay candidate can suggest for them? She wants be mayor of LA? – traffic problems, immigration problems, not enough cops in the street – this is common problems for big cities.
Hello Zhenya,
Thanks for the insight & comments.
My intention was not to remake the storyline of Bette running for mayor. As we have read, that storyline was Jennifer’s response to the election of 2016 & the unfavorable policies & views of the USA’s current administration.
The references to Bette’s campaign focus is setting up 2 events that will happenin later chapters.
Yes, the Tina in my story has a much stronger role & a bigger voice than in the OG series. She is an equal partner to Bette.
Hope you enjoy the upcoming chapters!!!!
Ok, restoring previous comment
Ok, i’ll try to caught up this story, but for now i can say i like it! And without Carrie even better ????
Hi Angel,
Thanks so much for your comment.
Hope you get some R&R soon!!
Carrier – thought that storyline was just so ridiculous. They really thought we would buy that Tina divorced Bette – claiming she needed space & to find herself & then get into another quick relationship???? Poor writing on the part of the Gen Q writers.
So, I will do my best to bring us a very different view.
Be safe!!!!
Thanks
A fantastic story! And Tina is a great help for Bette, Dani better listen and learn from her.
They briefly touched why they are divorced and how they feel.
And Tina’s full name Tina Porter Kennard, is that a hint?
I really love your story!
Thank you and i hope you are able to update soon!
Stay save and healthy ????
Hi Bibi,
Thanks so much for the your interest in this story.
Yes, I felt Tina needed a bigger voice & what better way than to help Bette.
Yes, there is some foreshadowing going on!!!! Remember, this is a Tibette story!!!
More to come in later chapters about their lives in NYC & the many reasons for their divorce. Like in all their past breakups & reconnecting, it takes 2 for it to happen.
Hoping to update weekly if not sooner.
Thanks again, enjoy & keep safe!!!
Catching up !
I love this Tina! If only she had been written like this ion GenQ! I would have loved to see Laurel act this, brill
Looking forward to more
SG
Thanks so much.
I have always considered Tina(LH) to be a much stronger character than IC portrayed in OG & now in Gen Q.
She would have to be to be in a long term relationship with a strong willed person such as Bette.
Enjoy more to come
I so agree about Tina’s character. As written for the Shows she would never had been noticed by Bette.
You will realise I am now caught up so will be pressing for new posts on a regular basis :-)

Hey SG,

Thanks for your support.
Best regards.

Really liked your description of Kit. I’d forgotten how explicitly feminist she was about business. That’s something I will make a note of for my own stories going forward. ;-)
Your Tina / Dani dynamic has me intrigued, too. And yes, Carrie gave us all a headache! Nice job to just dispose of her, haha
Am enjoying and looking forward to more x
Hey Largo,
Sorry I missed this comment you left.
If only the sins of GQ were that easy to dispensing of Carrie – she doesn’t exist!!!!!!!!!
I have always been a fan of Pam Grier way back to the 1970’s when she was mean Jackie Brown!!!!
She’ll only be able to live on in this story through flashbacks unfortunately. She does pop up a few more times I this story – so enjoy.
Didn’t want Dani to be a potential love interest to Bette so I had to find a way to smooth her rough edges & she can learn a lot from Tibette. They are both great at mentoring others.
Take care & see you on the pages!!!
Collins
