Jenny and Niki
Jenny with Niki (Jenniki)
Played by Mia Kirshner and Kate French
LET'S GET TOGETHER
Niki auditioned to play the part of Jesse in Jenny's Lez Girls movie. Jenny didn't like her, saying that she didn't look like a writer, but more of a maxim model. Jenny wanted Luchi Santis to be casted instead, unfortunately it was too late and Niki Stevens had already been cast as Jesse, because she had "heat" behind her.
Later in the episode, Niki meets Jenny, who is being diva-ish in a hanging bubble chair, in shebar. Niki reveals that she is gay, and Jenny seems intrigued by this. They go over to a more quiet area of the bar and discuss Lez Girls. Niki admits that she has already been cast, but just wanted to make sure that everything was alright with Jenny, the director.

Struggles as a couple:-- Niki's only 20 years old, and is coincidently, a little immature at times. But inspite of it, Jenny loves her for who she is, which is a young, sweet, and genuine "little puppy". In 511, after Adele (Jenny's plotting assistant) reveals Jenny and Niki's (mindblowingly hot) sextape to the producers of Lez Girls and Niki's agents, Jenny is fired as the director. Jenny rushes onset, and runs straight to Niki explaining to her what has happened. Jenny has a Jerry Maguire moment and pleads with Niki to come with her, Niki's agent reminds her that she's under contract. Niki obviously torn, remains silent and where she's standing. Jenny gives her one last look and turns and leaves. Niki, upset, raises her hands in defeat and frustration. What could she do? If she had gone with Jenny she could have ruined her career and because she stayed she has inadvertently ended her relationship with Jenny.
Niki's immaturity and naivety reaches a crescendo in 512, when, after Jenny doesn't return any her calls, she precedes to have the most unsafe sex ever: On a rail, with Shane, Jenny's best friend. Shane is in self-destruct mode after her talk with Phyllis, Molly's (Shane's then girlfriend) Mother. Phyllis tells Shane that she is bad news and not worthy of her daughter, she also tells Shane, that Alice and Bette agree with her. Shane's attitude changes after this, she pushes Molly away,purposefully gives Alice bad relationship advice and then preys on a miserable Niki, who is prone to light flirtation. Niki at this point is upset that Hollywood is treating her as a "trained monkey" and that all the Hollywood rubbish is the reason why she isn't with Jenny. Shane eyes Niki and they both say cheers to "not giving a shit".
Niki is a closeted up in coming Hollywood actress, throughout Season five she has been torn between Jenny and her Career. The issue of bearding has also been brought up with "Greg", her co-star. Hopefully Niki will come out in S6, before she spirals out of control as many young closeted stars do. Will true love prevail in S6 for Jenny and Niki?
Reasons they should be together:-- They have such amazing chemistry, they still love each other very much, and they both want to move away from LA.
Scenes fans might like to see:--
1.) Niki growing, becoming stronger and then coming out of the closet
2.) Niki helping Jenny get back at Adele
3.) Niki winning Jenny back
4.) More intimate scenes between the two, preferable another scene strap-on scene.
+ + + Kate French's interview from Starry Constellation Magazine :
Q. Did you have instant chemistry with Mia or did it take some time for you two to bond and become
acquainted with one another?
A: "............We got along really well and I definitely think there was unexpected chemistry. Because we
were both very femme, people didn't know if it was going to work or not. We got along great and actually
now watching it, I'm like, "Wow, we're a hot couple!" I totally believe it! It came out really well and Mia called
me after the first episode and said, "Oh my God, we make such a good couple!" and I was like, "Yeah, it
works!" I was really surprised to see how well it came off because when we were filming it we were always
having fun. We wanted to take it kind of over the top at times and be extremely mushy and girly. We
definitely accomplished that and it works, I think it passes for a real love............"
Q. It seems like Jenny has had a bit of a better storyline this year, a lot less dark and depressing. It seems
like Nikki has been a good influence on her!
A: " I'm hoping that they'll keep Jenny and I together too. I know that a lot of relationships don't last on "The L
Word" but Mia and I are begging to keep us together. It's been a lot of fun filming together and we really like
the relationship. Any time that the writers to try to have us have a falling out, because they didn't know how
long the relationship was going to keep going, we would fight it. We'd be like, "Let's play this scene this way
so it comes off in a different light." The writers had a hard time as well trying to give us problems within the
relationship because we were always fighting it because we wanted us to stay together. "
