Alice Pieszecki is a character on the television show, The L Word on Showtime that is played by the spectacular actress and musician Leisha Hailey. Alice is the old school original cast member bisexual who makes her money by doing freelance writing for LA Magazine and hosting the radio show, The Chart, on KCRW. She also happens to be the funniest person on the show and suffers from an incurable case of cuteness.

SEASON ONE: This season established Alice, first and foremost, as a wonderful friend. Particularly to Dana who she saw through a hook up and break up with Lara, coming out to her parents, losing Mr. Piddles, and getting engaged to Tonya. Until the end of this season, Alice drifted from one person to another romantically and didn't seem to have any desire to settle down. Her first romantic hook up was with her longtime on and off girlfriend, Gabby Deveaux, who once again broke Alice's heart and proved herself to be a perpetually cheating charmer. Then came Lisa the Lesbian Man and Andrew. But all of Alice's romances were leading up to her most important romantic moment of the season. And that's kissing her closest friend, Dana Fairbanks, at four in the morning after finding herself unable to explain precisely why Dana can't marry her fiance, Tonya. The season ended with Alice running away, leaving a stupefied Dana behind and Alice looking both terrified and perplexed about what she had done by giving Dana those searing kisses. She soon came home to find a distraught Tina in her apartment. The finale ended with Alice comforting Tina, stopping her from trying to draw the painful line that would connect Bette to Candace.

SEASON TWO: Things were quickly established for Alice in regards to her relationship with Dana. Despite a series of very intense kisses in the bathroom of The Planet, they wanted to try and stay friends and deny their growing attraction towards one another. Thus came the creation of The Rules of Unattraction which detailed all of the things they couldn't do together in order to make sure they didn't give into their seemingly uncontrollable desire to make out with one another. But when they found themselves alone in Dana's condo, making gift bags for her upcoming bachlorette party, the rules flew right out the window. Alice and Dana had both a passionate and playful session of making love, clearly showing the love that these two friends had for one another. After a short period of confusion and turmoil, Alice was soon dating Dana. They were at their happiest together and naturally fell into a romantic relationship that put them both at complete ease with one another, willing to experiment and play to make one another happy in their sex life. But the first sign of trouble came with Alice running into Gabby Deveaux who confessed to dating and being in love with Lara Perkins, the woman that Alice had helped Dana to get over in Season One. The woman that Dana never really wanted to break up with but did so because of her own fears at being outed as a lesbian. Something that was no longer an issue. Alice slowly found herself becoming clingy and insecure and hating herself for acting this way. Season Two ended with Alice admitting all of her fears to Dana who appeared to understand them and wanted to help Alice work through them to make them that much stronger as a couple.

SEASON THREE: The gap of time between Season Two and Season Three, precisely six months, created a mystery of sort when it came to everything that happened to Alice during that time. What we do know is that Dana said she needed closure with Lara and then Dana and Alice broke up as a romantic couple. Whether or not Dana said she needed closure during, before, or after the break up is debatable. Alice began the season speaking on The Chart about Dana and Lara's relationship and her break up with Dana, taking pills on the air and despite her humorous facade, appearing distraught with everything that had occurred. We saw the beginning of her friendship with Helena Peabody, who took care of her when she broke down into tears during a Yoga session, encouraged her to attend a support group to help her heal, hired a maid to clean her messy apartment, and personally supervised both the destruction of Alice's shrine to Dana and the unceremonious dumping of all of the sex toys Alice had used with Dana onto the athlete and her chef in The Planet. It was a long and painful process but eventually Alice found herself getting over Dana romantically, aided by a passionate night of sex with Uta, who she met while attending a speed dating session with Helena.

The happiness that Alice felt at finally being "free" of Dana was soon destroyed by the knowledge that Dana had breast cancer and was undergoing surgery. From that moment on, Alice dedicated herself to Dana, taking Lara's place when the chef couldn't deal with Dana's increasingly hostile treatment. Slowly it seemed that despite the effects of chemotherapy that Dana was indeed on the mend and so were her feelings for Alice. Subtle flirting and jealous remarks on Dana's part gave Alice hope that perhaps they might be making their way back to one another romantically. But then she received a phone call from Dana and was soon watching the woman she loved being wheeled away from her in the hospital. In a few short days Dana would be dead and Alice would be devastated, finding her only solace and understanding in the arms of a returned Lara. But the sex, as passionate as it appeared, was sad and almost empty. Leaving Lara concerned for Alice, particularly after Alice confessed she needed Lara to hurt her so she could feel something, anything, again. The season closed with Alice wanting to find out how Lara really feels about her and what she thinks is going on between them. It appeared that Lara about to tell Alice precisely that when Tina decided to make an interruption but Alice soon found herself in a role reversal, taking care of Helena, when the heiress finds herself cut off from the family fortune after a series of heartfelt but unfortunate financial decisions.

SEASON FOUR: Who knows? Will Alice continue her relationship with Lara but in a more healthy and open manner? Will Alice find love with Helena as she helps her friend learn to live without money and her reliance on trying to buy love with it? There are a lot of things that could happen to our favorite character in this season and we encourage you to write down your own ideas in the form of a fanfic and send it our way.
