Now that the initial shock and awe surrounding90210s upcoming lesbian love story has worn off (ithas, right?
Where did the idea for the Gia-Adrianna story come from?
Its crazy that we dont have any stories about that.
Lesbian flings have become something of a cliche on primetime soaps.
How will this one be different?
SINCLAIR:This isnt a fling.
This is a real aspect of teenager life thats interesting
Why Adrianna?
SINCLAIR:Adrianna is, by nature, a dramatic person whose identity is not completely solid.
Shes still very much in the process of figuring out show she is.
What role does her breakup with Navid play in her attraction to Gia?
But this isnt a direct rebound like, Oh, Im going to go be with a girl now.
How does the flirtation start?
SINCLAIR:It starts from Gias side.
She becomes Adriannas friend through AA.
And then she develops a crush on her, and Adrianna is initially freaked out.
But then she starts to question herownfeelings.
How do her friends react?
SINCLAIR:Naomi, predictably, has some outrageous opinions.
She thinks the best thing about fooling around with another girl is how muchguyswould love it.
And Silver, being more sophisticated, is like, Whats the big deal?
If you like somebody and you feel attracted to them, what is holding you back?
I dont think it all has to be about gender politics.
Frankly, itd be great ifeveryoneon the show was bisexual.
It would provide [lots] of interesting combinations.
SINCLAIR:I would love to.
I would love to have a gay guy [on the show].
Its a huge part of what high school is.
I would very much like to havemultiplegay relationships on the show.
SINCLAIR:[Laughs] I dont know if theres anyone in particular.
There has been some internal debate about this.
