Venice the Series

Actress Crystal Chappell and writer Kim Turrisi have created a web series that many initially regarded as a continuation of the Otalia storyline from the late soap opera "Guiding Light". It is, however, much more than that. The Venice storyline explores the relationships within a middle class family with action revolving around the principal character, Gina, played with great sensitivity by Chappell. Further, it focuses on Gina's work life and love life as an out and proud Lesbian. The top notch cast includes a number of former Guiding Light stars including Jessica Leccia who played Chappell's love interest in the Otalia storyline. Others include players from One Life To Live and Days of Our Lives. In many cases, actors have been cast in roles quite different than they are used to playing. Season one has 12 episodes and the eagerly awaited seasons two and three are in various stages of production. Chappell and Venice are on the cutting edge of what may be the future of soaps. Chappell, who also directs and produces, has been able to create a quality product with greater freedom of expression and superior production values and has done so less expensively and with economy of effort. A must-see.

Watch the 1st episode and you are hooked for life.

Not only Crystal Chappell & Jessica Leccia set the screen on fire, the rest of the cast is amazing too.

I guess in addition to Star Power, Venice also have the location. The scenery is amazing : Venice Beach takes the centre in the series with it's lovely atmosphere and wide sandy beaches.

And wait to see the story line that develops which is the real hook in this show.

So don't wait - Watch season 1 as Season 2 is just around the corner.

Ps: Venice the Series changed my life. I can't wait to see what it will do to yours :-)

Thanks to Crystal Chappell and Kim Turrisi - I love you both.

Venice is a wonderful soap that keeps you wanting to see more. It keeps you asking questions about what will happen next. Who will Gina get together with? Will their father ever understand them? Why doesn't everyone have a Guya in their life?

Venice was created by Crystal Chappell and Kim Turrisi as a gift of love to Crystal's fans. It has a marvelously talented cast who make you want to see more. The cast is made up of many of today's hottest daytime stars from "Guiding Light," "Days of Our Lives," and "One Life To Live."

The show is filled with all sorts of original music including the theme song by Jen Foster.

Venice doesn't disappoint. Thirty seconds in is the kiss fans waited a year and a half for.

See season 1 now. Season two will be coming soon with longer episodes that keep you coming back for more.

Venice........ Love it. Why do I love it? The first thing that comes to mind is Crystal Chappell. Just the fact that she went to the trouble to create this series speaks volumes to me. Of course there are other reasons. The cinematography is beautiful, the story interesting, the acting, outstanding. What is there not to love? I look forward to experiencing season two. If you have not viewed season one, I highly suggest you give it a chance. Venice is not perfect, but either is life. I do know... that like a fine wine..... Venice will improve and just become better. After all it is a work in progress. So sit back, put your feet up and drink it in! Love you Crystal and Kimmy! Thanks so much!

Venice was born from the love that was sent out to Crystal Chappell & Jessica Leccia via their 'Otalia' storyline on Guiding Light. This alone is reason to watch a 'thank you' to the fans.

I liked season 1 of Venice, there where parts I loved & parts that just didn't work for me. Crystal has been the first to say there where parts that where a bit weak for various reasons, e.g. weather, time etc.

More money, better equipment as well as the dedication from all the great actors is sure to enhance the quality of Season 2.

My intention is to fully support Venice for all the seasons because I believe it is going to get better. The acting from Jordan Clarke & Hilary B Smith is a master class of acting.

Crystal Chappell & Jessica Leccia's characters Gina & Ani may not be together yet, but the end game will see them be reunited.

Bring on the drama ladies and best of luck for your future epi's xx

I clicked the wrong amount of stars sowwy I rate it 6 stars can't change it ;-(
