The L Word: Generation Q Promotes [Spoiler] to Series Regular, Adds 4 Including Margaret Cho
Season 3 of The L Word: Generation Q will feature much more of Jamie Clayton, who has been upped to series regular in her role as bar manager Tess Van De Berg, TVLine has learned.
Clayton — whose credits also include Sense8 and Designated Survivor — has recurred throughout the L Word revival’s previous two seasons, with her character becoming intertwined with Katherine Moennig’s Shane in both work and love.
