Tina had just finished the season filming and was scheduled to be in Vancouver for the final wrap party for the season for the studio. This party would include all the series and would be a companywide event as a celebration of the completion and success of another season. Renewals for next season had already been announced and Tina’s show had been one of the first to announce. It would be going into its fourth season, had been a top-rated cable show, and had received several Emmy awards for direction, actors, and costumes. Tina had three Emmys as the show’s producer sitting on her shelf in her office in New York. She had put many hours into this production, and she had been rewarded financially as well as the accolades of her peers. Last year, she received a Golden Globe for the best drama series on television. At this point, she believed that the series would be renewed for at least three more years into the future.
Carrie was scheduled to accompany Tina to this wrap party which would be the about three weeks before her opening in Chicago. Tina would then be present for Carrie’s opening and then they planned to move to Los Angeles for the rest of the hiatus to allow Tina to spend time with Angie. Carrie was in hopes that they could have their wedding ceremony on the beach during the hiatus and enjoy a honeymoon before the new season productions for Tina started.
During the past three or four months, Tina and Carrie had very busy schedules. Carrie had been in New York working on her upcoming show and Tina had been in Toronto doing her job on the most popular drama series on cable of the year. Tina’s job had been supervising the budget and the scheduling requirements to meet the company requirements. With each successful season, her job became more difficult as directors, writers and actors began to stretch their demands which resulted in more expenditures and complexity with each successive season. And corporate headquarters were demanding good quality and freshness of production yet demanded the same levels of profitability as the prior season. Tina’s job was to coordinate the two and complete the project on time.

What can i say, Tina has seen the light and is finally going to try to talk with Bette about her decision to leave and then the divorce. She should have done that three years ago when she asked for time to figure herself out. The only positive i can say that she filled for divorce before getting in a relationship with Carrie.
So Carrie is nine years younger than Tina. Did Tina fall for the midlife crisis that she just throwed away her life with Bette, her supposed love of her life, just because Carrie, a much younger woman gave her attention when she was supposed to search herself and in the progress damaged her relationship with Angie because she without a real thought throwed away and moved away from her family?
And Carrie, damn, how could you think and say out loud that Bette should have done more and prepared Angie and that when Angie would see how happy they both are that Angie would be oh so happy for them while she feels Tina left her and Bette behind without any explanation and in Angie her eyes is starting a new family.
Both Tina and Carrie spoke after that with good insights but still, i really dislike how Tina handled everything in the past three years.
Best decision of Tina is to postpone the wedding. I don’t know if Bette is that open to a conservation with Tina, they need to talk but in my opinion on Bette’s timeline.
I can see that you are really involved in this story. This may not go exactly as you suggest. Let’s just say that the story will proceed in what I hope you will find to be a satisfactory manner and result. This particular scenario is a hard nut to crack and to make into a reasonable satisfying ending. But that is what Gen Q gave us – a totally unreasonable and unexplained breakup and then a fairy tale ending. And to top it off, they gave very little connection from the breakup to the reunion marriage. No continuity and no logic. And that is the purpose of this story is to suggest some path and method to get from breakup to happily ever after. Hang with me Bibi…. together we will get there. Or at least an honest attempt to get there.
Thanks for your comment.
Hey Martha,
Already posted my comment on chapter 4 before i read your reply to me.
GenQ was a disaster, no plotlines and left us bewildered. I’m glad you try to make sense of their breakup and their rekindled relationship and ultimately their second marriage.
I don’t care if you write it different than i expect, you are the writer and I’m in for this journey.
How can Tina possibly fall in love with anyone better than Bette…is Tina’s head so messed up she can’t see what’s right in front of her?? She was attracted to her in NY? That doesn’t seem to be the actions of someone trying to find herself.
Her moral background and conscious, lacked a bit, as she was ready to start looking again !
Good for Angie, laying it on the line as well, almost making it tough for Tina to thinking everything with her and Bette has been OK for the last 3 years !! Did she not really know Bette at all !
And what kind of mother only sees her daughter on high days and holidays? ☹️
‘She then called Bette and told her that she had met someone, and Bette would be receiving divorce papers within days. This was about a year after the separation. Bette was devasted’.
– This is an awful way to be told your being divorced, no wonder Bette was devastated, she didn’t know why she had no chance of fighting to save her marriage!
I can see how Tina wants to make it right with Angie and so she should be …. but it seems she is calling of the marriage to Carrie, very easily…almost to easily… did she really love her at all, I’m wondering?
Really getting into this, loving it
Janice,
Sometimes people simply do not think things through. They just respond in the moment. I think Tina was lonely. Carrie was young, attractive and showed Tina some attention. As you will see Carrie was convenient and she fit Tina’s lifestyle at the moment. Tina is totally consumed by her job and Carrie is only available part time. So read on and let’s see what happens.
Thanks for reading and commenting.
