Who knows, maybe some other poor sucker will move in here with his sexually confused girlfriend, and you can introduce them to one of your predatory friends, and she can seduce her, and his whole life can fall apart.

Tim to Bette, "Life, Loss, Leaving"

Timothy "Tim" Haspel[1] is a main character in season one of The L Word, before returning as a guest character in seasons two, three, and six. He is portrayed by Eric Mabius and debuts in the series premiere.

Background[]

Tim was a competitive swimmer in his youth. He swam for the University of Chicago in Chicago, Illinois, and was on the US Olympic team.[4] Tim is now a swimming coach for the women's swimming and diving team at California University.[4] The stopwatch that he coaches with belonged to his late grandfather.[5] Tim is superstitious when it comes to that stopwatch and insists on bringing it to every swim meet.[6]

Tim began dating Jenny Schecter four years prior to The L Word,[5] much to the annoyance of Jenny's college roommate, Annette Bishop, who had to listen to them have sex while she was trying to sleep.[7] Tim and Jenny were living together in Chicago when Tim moved to Los Angeles, California, and after six months apart, Jenny is about to join him in Los Angeles to start their new life.[4]
