Anne, Go On

Anne (Julie White)

Comedy series Go On centered around a grief support group, and among the group members was lesbian attorney and mom, Ann, who had recently lost her wife. When she was first introduced she harbored a lot of “angry” feelings concerning her wife’s death that she had to work through.

In the fourth episode Anne’s friend Ryan, who was also a part of the support group, encouraged her to go to the lesbian wedding of a friend, which Anne found hard to do without her late wife. At the wedding Anne caught the eye of another woman, but was worried about what that meant in the context of her grieving. Not sure if she was ready to go on a date, and worried because she hasn’t been able to kiss anyone else since her wife’s passing, Anne kissed Ryan in an effort to be able to move on to the “real thing”.

In episode 18 Anne met bookstore clerk Brittney, and after some flirting the two go on a date. They hit it off and made out, before Anne went to her group session. Anne then realized she projected feelings onto Brittney when she really just wanted to make out with her. At the end of the episode she and Ryan discussed how hard it was to move on when they were still in love with the women they lost.

Episode 20 had Anne and Ryan in a love-triangle competing for the affections of a widow, Talia. The three of them ended up on a date together and when Anne asked her which one of them Talia liked best she said she liked them both. However, it turned out Talia was a lite too crazy for comfort and Ann eventually left her with Ryan.

Go On was cancelled after its first season.
