DIVA’S JANE CZYZSELSKA TUNES IN
COVER STORY
When DIVA first heard about Different For Girls we were still smarting from the untimely deaths of Corrie’s Maddie, Emmerdale’s Ruby (Alicya Eyo) and Last Tango’s Kate (Nina Sosanya). By March last year, US TV show The 100 claimed the life of commander Lexa, raising the headcount to 173 lesbian and bi characters killed off in British and American TV shows since lesbian characters first appeared on TV in the 1970s. That’s a parlous hit rate given that lesbian and bi characters were as rare as ostrich burgers at a lesbian pot-luck until fairly recently.
