Bionic Woman: Is Ruth Truewell a Lesbian?

by Ryan

Bionic Woman episode 1.03 - “Sisterhood” raised a question that I have wondered since watching the pre-air pilot back in July:  Is Molly Price’s character, Ruth Truewell a lesbian?

I certainly hope so!  How fantastic to have a strong smart character that happens to be a lesbian on a prime-time show.  We don’t know that much information about Truewell yet, except she is smart, efficient and can multi-task like crazy.  So far we have seen her perform psych exams, impersonate a federal agent, and make a bomb on the fly.  After making the mistake of hiring serial bigot Isaiah Washington, NBC could make great strides with the gay community having one of the main Bionic Woman characters be an out lesbian.  Many at AfterEllen.com think Molly Price makes a great role model and compares her character to Mariska Hargitay’s Det. Benson on Law & Order:  SVU. 

Bionic Woman is turning into a great show and this possibility makes it even more interesting for me.  Of course, it is NBC, so I won’t hold my breath.

About Bionic Woman

Welcome to the best site on the web for news about Bionic Woman! Bionic Woman is a re-imagined, updated television drama inspired by the original 1970s show starring Lindsey Wagner. Helmed by the same creative team responsible for reviving Battlestar Galactica on the Sci-Fi Channel, the new Bionic Woman is darker than the 1970s original series but not quite as dark as BSG. The new show stars Michelle Ryan as the title character, Jaime Sommers, and Katee Sackhoff as her nemesis/frenemy Sarah Corvus. Each episode provides Jaime with an opportunity to further adapt to her bionic implants, and plots usually focus on her struggles to raise her teenage sister Becca while fighting techno terrorism and other types of crime. Bionic Woman airs on channels around the world, and in the United States it appears on Wednesday nights at 9:00/8:00 Central on NBC.
