Crystal Chappell Asks: Who Should Ani End Up With In Season Five Of Venice … Gina, Lara, Or Neither Gal?
Courtesy/OpenBookProds
Crystal Chappell and company are gearing up to shoot season five of the hit web series, Venice. Today, the series released a video featuring Crystal asking fans of the show their input into what should happen next in the life of Ani played by Chappell’s longtime scene partner, Jessica Leccia!
Crystal related: “Ani has had a lot of problems, and all relatable things. We have all struggled with self-esteem, weight issues, family issues most certainly, and she is at a critical point in her life. We hit those points, and we have to make decisions, and she needs to decide whether she is going to marry Lara (Nadia Bjorlin), or give Gina (Chappell) another chance, or just start fresh. I want good things for Ani and I have a very protective energy around her. I need your help. What would you like to see happen to Ani this season? What is best for her on Venice?
So with that, watch the video with Crystal after the jump! Then let us know: Is it time for Gina and Ani to get back together once and for all? Do you think Ani could ride off into the sunset and be happy with Lara? Should she walk away from both of these women and start fresh, perhaps with a new love, or even just be by herself for awhile? Share your thoughts below!

ani should dump Lara and stay with Gina who really loves her and has not manipulated her in any way to be with her.
Indeed, get rid of the alcoholic!
Lara and ani Gina hurt ani so many times
They both have hurt Ani and they both have their faults but Gina seems more genuine. Gina and Ani getting back together though is probably more predictable cause she is always running back to Gina
if Ani goes back with either Gina or Laura, it would stir up trouble, it all depends on which one would have a greater climax, or cause more drama
Ani and Gina need to get back together and as well the burnt letter that Laura burned ani must find out somehow what it said as it will prove even more how much Gina does love her. Love the show
as crazy as this sounds Ani need to stay with Laura and Gina will find a new love that will totally understand her and give her all she needs in life and Gina will ask her to marry her. Then Ani finds out about the letter that Laura destroyed and that she was the one to hit Gina. Laura life start to roll out of control and Ani is left alone poundering why she didn’t go with her heart all along. Eventually Ani and Gina will once again be a partner once Gina wife pass away from a illness(cancer)
Maybe there should be new relationships for all these ladies. They would long for each other from a far and drag others into the hot mess of their lives.
I love Lara though my heart is leaning toward Gina and Ani, and I don’t want Venice to end. Venice is like the webs version of Homeland, Nurse Jackie, or the networks How To Get Away With Murder, Scandal, The Fosters, or Empire. It’s fun to look forward to 10 or 12 weeks of tight writing and wonderful acting unfolding good stories that leave you wanting more.
Gina and Ani , all the way! I loved their chemistry and the near supernatural connection they have. It wod be so cool if they did like a sub plot that they find out from Gina’s Aunt Gaia ,that Gina and Ani have had past lives together and something or someone has stopped them from having a happy ending and this life is their last chance at true happiness.
ani loves gina and gina loves ani,they wouldn’t be happy without each other..i think ,tgina finally has gotten over her fear of being hurt again and is ready for a commitment, they are so good together
It should always be Gina and Ani. They were, are and always will be part of each other starting from Otalia. Lara is beautiful but she shouldn’t have to lie and manipulate to get Ani to be a part of her life. It all should be natural and that’s what Gina and Ani have. Everyone goes through trials and tribulations in life, but those two always manage to end up back with each other, through thick and thin. They deserve their happiness together.
I agree! It would suck if it ends any other way
I go for LARA AND ANI. The two should end up to together rather than Ani choosing Gina instead. Ani should think that it’s Lara who has been there for here after she had had messed up relationship with Gina who only dumped her (Ani) again and again. Ani can make sure that Lara would love only her and no one else but her though the only problem that Lara has is being alcoholic which just slightly hurts Ani’s feelings. So ANI, PLEASE CHOOSE LARA AND YOU’LL SURELY BE HAPPY.
I am with you, I like Lara and Ani
Connection, they are so cute as
a couple. And the chemistry they
share is all so sweet.
yes, smart..
I am for team Lara and Ani.
Lara loves Ani sincerely despite her alcoholic situation. They can both overcome the problem.
Besides the romance between them is so terrific.
I disagree with you I the Ana and Gina belong the they have more connection and chemistry together the are soulmate I’m team Ana and Gina all the way
Gina and Ani should get back together
I have been a fan from the beginning and have Always wanted Gina andvannie to have theirnhappynending. I want Annie to read Gina letter so thatvannie can finally know how much she love her
The end game has to be Gina and Ani. From season one that’s the way it was set up to be.
Ani should be with Gina season 5 is the last season of venice the series.Will hate to see the end of a very good show it shows people about love and family
I’ve watched from season one and at first I would have said Gina and Ani. However, Lara as a character captivates me. She seems so put together even when we all pretty much can assume that her life is about to crash. In spite of all the things that their relationship has been through she loves Ani and regardless of catching Ani kissing Gina right before the wedding and ignoring the fact that she was about to run away with her; I’d say that’s love. Lara has been good for Ani from the beginning and Lara has always been there… Read more »
I agree with you. Lara is best for Ani.
Pls let Lara and Ani have a happy ending.
Ani loves Gina In a way more intense way than she loves Lara,,, Gina hurt ani yes but she deserves a second chance, they need to make a fresh start ,because its Lara’s fault their not together she burnt Gina’s love letter… If ani had known about that she wouldn’t have accepted Lara’s proposal
GINA and her belong together!
Lara and Ani belong together, I LIKE Gina but I see Ani with Lara love them together, please let them be marriage .
Lara and ani forever.
yes always
Gina and Ani belong together. Lara is so insecure she burnt a love letter to Ani and consistently lied about her sobriety. Lara shouldn’t be with anyone until she can move past her own insecurities. By far, Lara deserves a new start but does not deserve Ani.
You, have made a valid point
Lara does love Ani, what Gina,
has put Ani through, a smart
choice to do is move on, a
toxic relationship, never get
better, its a matter of pride,
thinking that Ani could not
move forward without her. A
Person like Ani, can not be
trusted. Ani and Lari!
I love all your comments, but lets be honest here every relationship has to have its ups and downs and that is exactly what Anni and Gina has gone through. It suck sometimes when you know that two people are meant to be together, but things just keep on pulling them apart. It has been a very long and bumpy road for the two of them but they make each other complete and the writers should give Anni and Gina their happy ending. After all No matter what as long as the love between them is true then love should… Read more »
Gina and Ani for sure.
have to be Ani and Lara, Gina lost her oportunity with her so she has to go away. I belive in new and fresh relationship.
Although I love the “hot and sexy’ Lara, I want more of the “hot and steamy” that Ani & Gina bring. They have an incredible onscreen chemistry……absolutely- Ani & Gina;)
If I am Lara, I’ll give up Ani, I dont accept my bride look at two directions. If her heart still Gina, Lara should give up.
Most definitely Gina and Ani!!!
And …..Will someone PLEASE mention that beautiful letter?!
honestly i would love for Gina and Ani to be together but my understanding Ani does love Gina with her heart but she is scared of being hurt again but at the same time being with Lara can go either way because after experiencing a slap and push against the wall it cause confusing of love or hate.. Ani doesn’t deserved that but no love worth that physical or emotional pain..Ani should take time for her self before chose her infinty soulmate..love is unconditional and Gina and Ani have it but how much are they willing to give to make… Read more »
when you love you do anything for love,so what lara did is acceptable, love & war alll the way,i will love lara & ani or if not then please find her someone worth on the show for lara 😉
ANI & LARA !
Ani and Gina. But I feel there needs to be a healing process. She shouldn’t jump straight into a relationship with Gina. They should start slow, enjoy the fresh start of a second chance. They’ve both been through a great deal. Let them learn each other all over again. Rediscover what made them fall in love in the first place.
LANI for PUSH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I so love Ani! —being together with Lara; and i believe there are thousands who feel the same way who could not reach out this site because they do not know there’s a question like this. Good vibes for all. 🙂 If there’ll be a little twists, fine… but at least “LANI” is forever. 🙂
I love you, Ms. Jessica! Cuddles! Hope this reaches you out! <3
Ok so I’ve watched the love story unfold from season one to the interruption of the wedding. From watching I think Ani is toxic and needs to figure her stuff out. She was with Laura but was still talking and comforting Gina, not cool. You’re in a relationship with one person not the person you’re with and your ex. Yes what happened between Laura and Ani was not cool and Laura is paying for it, and Ani is healing but they are working through it. Gina dumped Ani time and time again, then when she ended up with someone she… Read more »
It always feels great being in love with someone but that person (Gina) we love is not always meant to be the one to be in a relationship with. Ani should cherish the time and remain friends with Gina seeking someone that loves being in love with her. Everyone has flaws but it’s phenomenal to see recovery through each struggle so Lara may deserve another chance once she tells all. Wouldn’t close the door to other possibilities.
Gina and Ani please!!! Its time for them to be happy together starting fresh. Lara is a mess and manipulated Ani by burning the letter or Ani would have ran back to Gina then. Their love is deep and most people never get that. Its time for them now
I think Ani needs a break from both of them Gina not trustworthy and Lara is insecure. Gina needs to prove herself to Ani . Ani needs to find out what she’s really wanting in a relationship, she shouldn’t have to work so for it. she did with both relationships. In the end i think it should be Gina and Ani . i would be disappointed if it ended any other way.
I think ani should take a break from both women and she should focus on herself find out what she likes and woman and maybe for the new road she meet someone Jean and perhaps growing up ready to be with her I make a solid commitmen
Honestly I believe in true love as well as second chances
and change but separating that kind of love would be devastating
to watch but also a crazy twist. And the other incredible twist
would be ani find out all about Lara after they were married.
And her desperately trying to find gina before it’s too late but
hey that’s just me I write but I’m not an Emmy award-winning author
LOL…
LARA AND ANI SHOULD BE TOGETHER! such a great couple
AGREED
i want lara and ani to be together gina broke anis heart so many times and she left her ani deserves someone like lara witch is so much better then gina
Gina a nd Ani all the way! Waited a long time for their happy ending, ever since Otalia! Lara just doesn’t cut it with Ani, so please don’t let all your Otalia fans down!
Ani and Gina all the way.! I love there chemistry.
I can’t stand the way Gina continues to hurt Ani, and while Lara is not perfect she should stay with her. She deserves a true love albeit not always perfect but one of respect mutual adoration support and that’s true. We all have our demons and this whole Gina mess has been horrible on Lara. I get why she’s stuck in her dark place. Ani is Laras perfect whole and vice versa. She doesn’t need Gina who sleeps around and uses people for het benefit. Sucks she realized too late that she had a good thing going with ani and… Read more »
I like your comment. Right to the point
Gina and Ani, should be your final love ending story… Happy ever after!
Unless we dont want the series to end…i dont…. Sl make their love strengthen from a distant…this keeps us all watching! Just love the series! Keep us satisfied with bits of pieces of what could be with Gina And Ani….
Gina and Ani
Ani should give Gina another try. Gina has never lied to Ani and Lara has. Plus, Ani still loves Gina. Ani doesn’t really trust Lara.
Lara and Ani for sure! Great couple! But..if you will..you could have Ani choose Gina..and then have Ani realize she has made the biggest mistake of her life..begging Lara to take her back after she realises that Gina only wanted her to win and breakes Ani’s heart yet again. ( Gina only wants what she can not have )
Gina and Ani!!!-The only couple that has onscreen chemistry. Lara is simple only wrong and an alcoholic. Plus I don’t feel any chemistry between Lara and Ani. Most of us are watching this for finally experiencing a happy ending between Ani and Gina! The writers want that to happen als well. At least that’s what I saw…And of course Ani needs to learn the truth about Lara’s dishonesty (letter, hit-and-run, lies, etc.). She needs to learn about Gina’s attempts to fight for her love and Lara’s failures. But only after she decided to not marry Lara
Ani tiene que quedarse con Gina, porque el verdadero amor no olvidamos.
I vote for Ani and Gina! Her relationship with Lara is about safety more than anything. Gina is her true love and love is hard sometimes but when you give into it, it is amazing.
I believe that LARA and ANI should definitely be endgame. I believe that LARA will always love Ani and not leave her or hurt her like Gina did. LARA and Ani have amazing chemistry, I just don’t see it with Gina, don’t see them having a great future.
I would Love… Love to see Lara and Ani make it to the end. Please don’t punish Lara by ending her relationship just because she is a hot mess right now. Instead prove that the love Lara and Ani have for each other is enough to make them last a lifetime. Let love prevail finally!!! Sorry Gina, the past has passed…
Gina and ani forever
Lara and Ani
Defintely Gina and Ani together! Lara was deceitful and hid too many things from Ani! Lara is like the Countess in the Sound of Music hiding a letter from the Captain! Please,please let it be Ani and Gina. They have real life chemistry. Lara needs to grow up and go to AA!
Gina and Ani. Will be real unhappy if it doesn’t end that way. But only if Gina treats her well and respects and truly cherishes the relationship. I really liked the balance of the Otalia relationship. They both had different strengths and were great together.

OLTL Alum Tuc Watkins Opens Up On His Sobriety and the Importance of Camaraderie
He made his mark to soap opera fans as David Vickers on One Life to Live (1994-1996, 2001-2013) and as Bob on Desperate Housewives (2007-2012), since then Tuc Watkins has been featured and starred in numerous television, motion pictures and stage roles.
Most recently, Watkins starred opposite Neil Patrick Harris in the Netflix streaming series Uncoupled, the film and stage adaptation of Boys in the Band, and recently on stage in the AIDS-based drama, The Inheritance.
Tuc, who came out on The Marie Osmond Show back in 2013, is the father of twins via surrogacy, and is currently in a relationship with film, TV and stage actor, Andrew Rannells. Earlier in his career, many warned Watkins that it could be detrimental to him, if he played gay roles. However, in the years that have followed, Tuc has proved them wrong taking on some of the most prominent LGBTQ roles out there and earning critical praise for his performances.
A few months ago, in March, Tuc took to his Instagram account to share a before and after photo of him 4 years before he got sober, and 4 years after he got sober with a heartfelt and inspiring message.
Watkins expressed: “If your drinking is making you uncomfortable, tell a sober person. Any sober person. That’s what I did. I don’t remember what I said to him that day. And I don’t remember what he said to me. But I remember the way he made me feel. He made me feel like I was going to be okay. It was the last day I drank. October 28, 2018. I got sober because alcohol was ruining my life. I stay sober because my life got better. #sobriety #recovery”
View this post on Instagram
In a new article on Watkins from Queerty, EastSiders creator and star, Kit Williamson delivered a statement to the LGBTQ outlet about his experience working with Tuc and his consistent support for other gay artists.
Photo: ABC
Kit shared: “I’ve had the pleasure of working with Tuc three times now. On the third season of EastSiders, my new series Unconventional, and the indie film Retake. Tuc is a star in the literal sense of the word, shining light on and lifting up the people around him, and he is as talented and funny as he is dashing and kind. I was a fan of his before I became a friend, and I have seen firsthand how committed he is to supporting other queer artists and making art that matters.”
Photo: Jeff Lorch
As pride month approaches in just a weeks time, Watkins shared on Queerty’s coverage on his Instagram: “Thank you @Queerty for elevating the LGBTQ+ community. 🏳️🌈 For highlighting the differences in our backgrounds, identities, and experiences, all through the lens of camaraderie.”
