Hallmark features its first holiday lesbians every last year in the Christmas rom-com “Every Time a Bell Rings.” It was…fine. (Full disclosure, LIfetime’s “Under the Christmas Tree” was my favorite of last year’s holi-gay bonanza.) So now Hallmark is taking another shot at us Sapphics with “Love Classified.” One of my favorite things about it is how quintessentially generic that title truly is. Slow clap, very slow clap. One of my second favorite things about this is how it has hired not one, but two actresses who have memorably played gay before. The first is Melora Hardin, who played the Very Lesbian Tammy on “Transparent.” The second is Arienne Mandi, who of course plays Dani on “The Real World: Generation Q.” Honestly, I don’t know why this thing is even called “Love Classified” because there does not appear to be paid newspaper advertising or top secret government intel involved. Instead Melora plays a romance novelist who is trying to reconnect with her adult children. While one of those adult children is reaching out with Arienne. Nobody tell Gigi. Also did they post Dani's bail or what?
Maybe Dani will meet a carpenter in jail?
