“So, what do you want to say?” Dani asked with a hint of aggravation in her own tone.
“Bette,” Tina looked at her ex, “if I may speak freely, I have a few ideas.”
“Of course.” Bette nodded in approval, thankful of any assistance Tina was willing to offer.
“Wait.” Dani interrupted. “I thought Pierce and I were handling this.”
“Dani,” Bette spoke her name in a very controlled manner. “Tina has dealt with similar situations in her career in the entertainment industry. There’s a different scandal every day in her world. I’m positive Tina knows what she’s doing.”
“But she’s never worked a political campaign before.” Dani pointed this out.
“And neither have you for that matter.” Bette reminded Dani. “Tina has certainly dealt with promoting actors and her productions. There have been plenty of situations over the years where Tina has had to make quick decisions and strategize about what actions to take. She has spearheaded several successful campaigns throughout her many projects. She’s worked closely with PR firms her entire career. I trust her judgement. Now, let her talk.”
“First of all,” Tina began, glad that Bette agreed with her. “Bette doesn’t have to apologize to Tyler. Dani could issue a brief statement stating how unfortunate the incident was and thankful that no one involved was seriously hurt. With that statement, Bette acknowledges that the situation happened without assigning fault to anyone. Short and simple. That okay Dani?”
“Yes, that does make sense.” Dani shook her head. “I can live with that.”
“Next,” Tina continued on, “Bette, you could give your speech to the press outside focusing on your reason for running for mayor and talk about Kit.”
“Tina,” Bette shook her head,” I don’t want everyone to know exactly what happened to Kit. It’s no one’s fucking business. I don’t want to shame her name.”
“Bette,” Tina reached out and took Bette’s left hand in hers, rubbing her thumb over the back of her hand “you won’t. It’s all about angles. Right Pierce, Dani?’
“Oh, definitely. It’s all in the way you word the message.” Dani actually agreed, surprised at Tina’s clever assessment.
“Timing is critical and can make all the difference.” Pierce added. “You want to shift the focus away from the incident last night and move forward.”

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,
Heard about more postings!!!!
Will try – am on an average of posting 1 per week.
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
