Crossover with 'The Girlfriend Experience'


You know what would really be incredible? If "Starz" were to feature a "Flesh and Bone"/"GFE" crossover/continuation. Claire Robbins meets Christine Reade. It could continue both stories where Christine transfers to New York to attend Columbia Law School and she gets hired at a smaller start up law firm that represents performers in the arts. Enter Claire Robbins who just got let go from her ballet company and is essentially starting over. The two girls become roommates and in an effort to help Claire out Christine introduces her to the world of high end escorting. This would be sort of like a ying and yang. Claire who has self esteem problems particularly with her sexuality is aided by Christine who knows exactly what she wants sexually but who through Claire can allow herself to be vulnerable and to actually feel. The series/show could highlight the ups and downs. It would probably have to have a somewhat limited run but it would be interesting to see how Riley Keough and Sarah Hay would bring the on screen chemistry where their characters would go from merely just roommates to sharing a deeper bond. Aside from marketing and other things from a behind the scenes perspective it would also require Steve Soderberg and Moira Walley-Beckett to work together to make each of their respective works weave together to create a "super artistic" vision come to life.

This is an interesting concept, I gotta say. Unfortunately, I think I heard somewhere that The Girlfriend Experience is intended to be an anthology series akin to True Detective, so a second season will be about a completely new character. (Although, I'm not sure how many places you could take the basic plot before it gets tired...)

Well if it was to be a continuation of Christine Reade tied in/crossed over with a "Flesh and Bone" continuation it would work brilliantly. They could call it "The Girlfriend Experience:The CR Files" (CR meaning both Christine Reade as well as Claire Robbins).and how Claire used GFE escorting to propel her ballet career forward in an effort to break from her past and all the ups and downs that come with it.
