Favourite WLW Love Stories, wherein:

a) both characters are 40+ and/or 50+ (I am including Hospital Central’s Maca & Esther here, because even though they were in their 30s when the relationship started, they were in their 40s when the series finished and they were together)

b) love stories are successful (even if the series ended but they were still together when it did). Honourable mentions available for ones that were almost fully successful, but soaps…so stuff doesn’t last forever.

c) can be from any country (list the country, and directions to YT clips if you can)

d) drama / romance / comedy / police procedural / hospital drama / soap, etc.

Some of my favourites include:

Hospital Central - Maca/Esther (Spain)

Holby City - Bernie/Serena (United Kingdom)

Hotel Mondial - Eva/Uli (Germany) - new favourite

Star Trek Picard - Seven of Nine/Raffi (United States)

Guiding Light - Olivia/Natalia (United States)

Eastenders - Eve/Suki (United Kingdom)

Emmerdale -Charity/Vanessa (United Kingdom) - only because I’m holding out hope that Mack leaves/dies and Charity & Vanessa eventually make their way back together

Last Tango in Halifax - Caroline/Gillian (honestly even SW has said they’re soulmates, so I’m counting it)

Doctor Who [Big Finish Audio] - Liv/Helen - it counts.

Last Christmas...

...Serena broke up with her then-boyfriend Edward. This year, she might be ready to find a new love in Bernie, who first saw her at a holiday party a year ago.

Sapphic Angst Fest: Middle aged Lesbian ship - Berena

So, anyone out there who is looking for a middle aged wlw ship, have you seen Berena?

It was on Holby City a few years back, was a recurring storyline for years. It had everything: longing glances, friends to lovers, breaking up, getting back together, KISSES!, long distance romance, ARM WRESTLING!, and Doctor Who’s Kate Lethbridge-Stewart -Jemma Redgrave!!!!!! And it was the origin of one of my favorite phrases of all time: “sapphic angst fest”.

There are a decent number of vids of the show up on YouTube, I think you can probably piece together most of the story, and there are lots of fanvids. I was able to watch almost all of the actual show on YouTube while it was airing.

It was SO EXCITING to see that representation at the time, from 2 amazing actors - Jemma and Catherine Russell.

Zoom, Booze, no Doom

Hi friends,

given that I'll be traveling a bit more during the next months, I'd like to give everyone a heads up on the upcoming Zoom schedule:

Due to the work of @starfleetwitch @seahorsepencils @ktlsyrtis we're going to have all early Serena & Bernie scenes in HD quality for the first time, so we'll be going back to our roots during the next Zooms and watch our favourite Holby City doctors in excellent quality.

No idea who the artwork is by. It showed up in one of my social media feeds, and because I have so many damn accounts I can’t remember which one 🙄 BUT…my first thought upon seeing it: Bernie and Serena. I still love them.

In Berena's second kiss, is it Jemma who does the cute little whimpering or is it Catherine? 😍

It isn’t a man... It’s Bernie.

Nearly 2 years later this still gives me goose bumps and I didn't even know a thing about Serena, Bernie or Holby the first time I saw it.

"That's not why I asked. That's not why I said yes"

Enjoy the view!

[and-to-you-its-just-words]

Thinking about how Serena Campbell so stereotypically fell in love with her best friend and was immediately like “yep, she’s the one.” And then proceeded to MARRY her and now they’re wives.

#I honestly feel like I could write a paper on why queer women tend to fall for their friends #and it has a lot to do with feeling safe enough to feel and explore those feelings #and of course I could talk forever about Serena and Bernie #serena campbell #bernie wolfe #Berena #holby city
