Girls In Love Part 1

[@MsPirategirl12]

I am crying in the club right now!! I never thought that I would find this! This used to be my show back in the day!

[@IWillAlwaysLoveYou91]

Despite this not following true to the books, I think it is an absolutely brilliant series in its own. The actors are great, the chemistry between the three girls is just as it should be and I loved it so much when I was younger. I did also read the books and I love them equally, just for different reasons!

[@Gayredheadbitch94]

They combined all the elements of the books but put a modern twist on them. They obviously had to hide some of the darker elements used in Wilsons books for the audience it was made for

[@Hope4freedom76]

I dont care if it's like the book or not, this show is brilliant and brings back heaps of memories

[@MaebhyHowell]

I'm in Year 9 right now and Ellie definitely looks a LOT older than anyone I know, but I loved this series as a child so I'm not complaining!!

[@laurenslife5298]

Same

[@Kristelley]

Nowadays she looks like a normal year 9 or younger

[@scazyrrrt05]

OMG major throwback 😂😂

[@ellag6545]

OMG I used to watch this all the time when I was younger! 😄😄

[@leaderoftaehyungnation9766]

the NOSTALGIAAAA!! when i first watched this they all looked so grown, but now i’m the same age as the actresses they look so young

[@asdfghlkbbj8245]

This really wouldn't happen to year 9s in real life 😂

[@toxicedits_crybabytears7059]

Billiejoeismyboyfriend ik I'm year 9 nearly 10 and I'm nothing like this 😂

[@izzie5093]

Billiejoeismyboyfriend I would've thought that Ellie was a year 11

[@ellengarrett3631]

Billiejoeismyboyfriend yeh I'm going into year 10, all this NEVER happens 😂😂 still love watching it though

When I first watched this I felt so much younger than her and thought year 9 was like huge know I've almost finished year 9 and I just remember her as so much older than she is in this 😂

I adore Dame Jacqueline Wilson! I am a published writer too, and I love her and look up to her soooo much! Also. I have just listened to this series on audio time

[@ladygagalolz]

1 word:BASED. It doesnt mean it is going to be an exact replica. We all wish that ellie is fat and shy but still, it is a good movie. I really like it. I know this comment may get bad comments but most of you are slagging this movie off butin my opinion this is a good movie

[@Slothdeman]

Fuck the new programs this was beast

[@007sexychocolate]

Absolutely

[@phoenixblitz24]

Okay, Ellie is meant to be chubby and big haired, not slim and with model good looks. Seriously?

[@crystalsienna331]

so true!

[@maryh4081]

It's because that's how she viewed herself, fat and ugly. When, in reality, she wasn't!

[@fistiria]

Mary H Well no... I suppose your right but she DID have very frizzy hair, everyone in the books called her curly knob and her friend's nickname for her was Ellie-belly and Ellie-phant so she was chubby.

[@maryh4081]

All good points, but i think the show is trying to represent that whatever you think of yourself isn't true, that all of us are beautiful

[@rivyrose8118]

I'm a bit late lol, but yes she was chubby with glasses and frizzy hair. But the movie is only based on the book, sure in the book, Magda is not tanned, and her hair is blonde until she cuts it short and dyes it red, not dark and curly - they are so different looking in the episodes, but still the same personality. It was maybe hard to find actors that looked like the book characters :) x

[@RottingHearts]

Loved this show used to watch in in my preteen years.

[@arohamary]

been scouring the internet for a high quality copy of this show, ive loved it for years and years!! i need my own copy

[@manasseella5963]

I love it its like dork diaries and Lizzy McGuire mixed together

[@galyyification]

i watched this in seventh grade and i have watched it every year since. im graduating university next month ahaha!

[@sweetsugarpumpkin]

I remember my sister watching this as a teenager and me being a kid then I got to 14 and read the books and now I look back with nostalgia :')

[@enchanteddagger5482]

Sigh. Ellie was meant to be a rolemodel for girls who aren't tall, or skinny and supermodel looking. Just normal. But this is actress (No offence, she's very good) but she's nothing like the books.

[@dunndawson]

I completely agree, I love the actress but not as Ellie. I always loved Ellie but the casting was all wrong.

[@emmaolden3562]

So true!!! And, isn't Magda supposed to have bottle blonde hair? Stuff like this puts me off.

[@annabelvanpelt]

@@emmaolden3562 Yeah, she is supposed to be the beauty standard. Not saying this actress isn’t pretty, but Magda in the books was blonde, blue eyes, slim; everything about her fit the beauty standard. But in this, Ellie is closer to the beauty standard than Magda, whereas in the books she is fat with frizzy hair and glasses.

[@maria-hs4vh]

@@annabelvanpelt but i would say that the person playing magda is wayyy more prettier then the person that plays ellie

[@Sabrinajaine]

I really don't know why they didn't wear uniforms. I mean, they would have made the 17/18 year old actresses look more like their characters' ages

[@birdywings3099]

Although this adaption is nothing like the books, I still enjoy watching it. Please never take it down!

[@borderj9519]

UUHHHHMMMMMMM ...... Ellie........ she's not........ uhhhh...... so they took away the only thing that really made the book stand out? What? Is it too hard to give the main role to someone who isn't thin and pretty? To someone who actually FITS the character and matches what they're supposed to look like?I'm sorry but the only reason I liked the books was because the main character was a larger girl and being one myself it gave me a lot more confidence in life, so seeing that the show chose to IGNORE this factor has really irritated me! >:|

[@evag8716]

I guess it's the media :/

[@lucygraham3573]

Yep and they missed out her stepmum and brother who were a big part in the book

and that she had curly hair and that she has a step mum and bro i read the book yesterday so i should know

[@DollSomeBarbies]

[@Ubermicropwned]

RainiKitty Tv shows arent representation of books when it's based on them. Look at Game Of Thrones, the characters nowhere look the same as in the book.

[@Teniolafajuke]

Yeah

[@lollydoneahoe]

i loved this show! watched it the whole time!

[@dianapohe]

This is so cute :) I used to watch it so many years ago.. and I still remember a few parts of it!

[@mireillie]

i'm watching this instead of studying for my mid-terms. I LOVED THIS SHOWWW~

[@mirellachiara631]

love it... It's a difference experience when I watch the drama in its original language

[@minnybeez]

I don't see Magda not being caucasian being a problem since being caucasian was not a major plot point to her character (she was just flirty, which can be done even if she's mixed race). But the whole point of having Ellie as a main character was to give us, girls who where chubby, had spots, wore glasses and were definitely not in any way model-y a role model. Like, take book 2 when Ellie has bulimia - seeing it through this actress' Ellie gives it a whole different meaning, instead of showing how society disproportionately tells chubby people to change themselves, the point will be that anybody, even skinny tall straight-haired spotless girls can get bulimia (which is a perfect valid point, just not what I think Wilson had in mind).

[@Prinzyxox]

Even tho this was 3 years ago, you are so spot on lmao.

[@naniyumi]

I loved this show so much ❤

[@edwinaannor]

The show has received criticism from fans of the book, a lot due to Ellie and Magda's appearances. In the book, Ellie is short, bespectacled, chubby, frizzy-haired, whereas in the television series, she is taller, thinner, has straight hair and doesn't wear glasses. Magda was also portrayed differently - in the series she is mixed-race with dark hair; in the book, she is caucasian and has blonde hair.

[@rach3l202]

i don't see how having more poc representation is a bad thing.

[@maria-hs4vh]

@@rach3l202 yes

[@valerie1681]

Zaraah Abrahams is black not mixed.

[@ogome2927]

@@rach3l202 poc representation is a bad thing if it’s not following the original creators works. if the character is black or poc then fair enough, but if they’re not then it comes across as fake and forced diversity, that’s why it’s always important to follow the authors image

[@angelic.kaul1tz]

I absolutely love that Magda is represented differently.

[@peterwantspie]

I used to watch this when I was a kid, and the thing about it that stuck in my head the most was that at the beginning the sponsor message would go 'GIRLS IN LOVE: HAVING FUN WITH SHADERS AND TONERS'. Funny, the stuff you remember :-P

[@LucySoo1]

God I watched this when it first came out. Here in 2024 and I’m 35 now 😭

Omg soooo nostalgic!!! I wish I could watch it somewhere

[@grace317]

i LOVE this show. I was (am) so sad there's no season 2.. For those who say it doesn't live up to the book, I didn't read it. But I think without comparision, the show holds its own.

[@HollyxxSmithxx]

omg i remember watching this when i was in yr 3! loved this so much been looking for it every where! :D

[@EscapeTheFateXFIR]

Okay so these girls are way too old, they're at least 16 while Ellie, Nadine and Magda are supposed to be 13. Ellie is supposed to be chubby and lives with her dad, her stepmother and her little brother. Magda isn't supposed to be black (no racism intended). Ellie and Dan are supposed to meet in Wales in a castle and not while playing a stupid game. Nadine is supposed to wear makeup. This is totally stupid.

[@alexkennedy1820]

I remember the book, Girls Under Pressure, Ellie tried to lose weight because she is supposed to be really fat...

[@emsh3400]

Yes! Exactly! It has to be like the book!

[@josephslife9750]

True but its kinda weird because Magda looks alot like my bestie and my besties name is Magda....

@Starr Child this came up like 15 years ago i really doubt it was anything to do w being PC, if being PC was a factor they wouldn’t change a fat character to be thin

[@fatimaalp2953]

this tv show was everything

[@lilygrace5346]

Come on they could of tried a little harder to match the book. Ellie isn't slim and pretty she's larger and has frizzy hair and glasses. Nadine's alright though she's meant to be taller then Ellie and meant to be 13 And Magda is blonde

I loved this as a kid omg and Ellie was in Torchwood haha xD

[@bees7525]

+Enchanted Dagger Ikr 😞 Ellie was made so girls who weren't happy about themselves had someone to relate to! Casting a girl like that isn't fair to all the girls who looked up to Ellie. Ellie is a Typical, normal girl, who thinks she's fat and doesn't like the way she looks, but THIS "Ellie" isn't the Ellie any of us know. Its a thin, tall, model. I've personally always thought Ellie's pretty in the books, and this actress's just plain fine. No nothing about it. Plain fine, no faults, no frizzy caramel hair, no glasses, just fine.

[@jessthesheepy]

I still love this...ah childhood memories:)

[@cecesparro4350]

This is a dumb show/movie. Ellie is supposed to be chubby, with frizzy hair and glasses. She's supposed to make you feel normal. Instead there's just another skinny actress with perfect hair and skin. And they all talk like they're about 7 yrs old, with that actress poshness thing. It's impossible to follow this story like they are real people. Don't rate the show or casting choices, they should really have thought more about the audience. :(

The actress for Nadine is okay, but the person whose job is to act as Ellie is supposed to be a chubby, plump person who is a little short for her age, with frizzy mousey hair and eyes with glasses on. Whereas the person who should get a job to act as Magda should be a whitish person with blonde hair (no racism intended). Id prefer the characters to look the way they look in the bks.
