Adele Channing is a fictional character on the Showtime series The L Word, played by Malaya Rivera Drew. Her surname may be a reference to Bette Davis's character in "All About Eve".

Adele is an impoverished young woman Kit Porter finds at the Planet reading one of Jenny Schecter's books. Adele is a huge fan of Jenny's writing, and when introduced to Jenny by Kit, she becomes Jenny's new personal assistant. Max Sweeney is suspicious of the inconsistencies in Adele's story of her troubled youth, but Jenny and Shane McCutcheon support her. Adele begins modeling herself after Jenny, including taking on the same hair style and manner of dressing, and sabotaging the production of Jenny's film "Lez Girls", as well as her romance with Niki Stevens. During a blackout, Niki kisses Adele, thinking she is Jenny.

In episode 5.10 "Lifecycle", Jenny and Niki make a sex tape during a camping trip. Later, Adele sneaks into their tent and steals the tape. She uses it as a means of blackmail to have Jenny removed as the director of "Lez Girls", with herself being the replacement.

In the fifth season finale, Adele changes the ending of Lez Girls so that "Jesse" returns to "Jim". She is also seen with a new girlfriend, the woman who portrays "Karina" in the film.----
