LAYLA and JACKIE from KICK (2007) - Australian Lesbian Interest TV Couple

The love story between Layla and Jackie is a lesbian interest storyline running through the Australian romantic comedy / dramedy TV series Kick, (IMDb 6.6) that originally aired in 2007. Layla and Jackie are instantly attracted to each other after meeting at the university fencing club and it doesn't take long before they become fencing partners and start going out for coffee.

Layla has never had a girlfriend before but knows that her family would not approve of her dating a woman. She tries to keep her world separate and does not tell Jackie about the familial pressure she is under to meet Middle Eastern cultural expectations including getting engaged. Instead she tries to compartmentalize her life however the cracks show up early on when Jackie who describes herself as "forward" turns up unexpectedly to the karaoke party in Layla's street.

Layla and Jackie are more than fencing Partners in Kick (2007)

As Layla and Jackie become closer Layla is conflicted between wanting to pursue the relationship with Jackie and not disappointing her family. It becomes increasingly difficult for Layla to keep certain aspects of her life secret and eventually Jackie learns the truth about the plans that Layla's family have for Layla.

At this point Jackie tries to force the issue by demanding that Layla be true to herself and her family about her sexuality. Layla must then decide what she wants most: to keep her family happy or to continue dating Jackie.

The themes explored in the Layla and Jackie storyline are not new but their love story is dealt with more than enough sensitivity and humor to make it refreshing. Full marks to the writers who show Layla and Jackie navigating their dilemma in such a way that they reach a resolution that results in a happy ending for our characters, something that is uncommon in many lesbian interest story arcs.
