What a great Choice for Jason!!!!

So they aren't following the original at all? I mean besides Jason and Tanya hating each other (hopefully over mounds of coke)? Donna and Brian (The Beek? Seriously?) were arguing over Brian giving up his son years and years ago and Donna wanted another kid (they already had one. and it was a multiracial family here, which was nifty to see in a British soap) and hobag Nicole didn't show up til half the season and Chardonnay wasn't a singer...right?

Now. Will they have Chardonnay chop her hair off and get her implants taken out? Will Tanya try to kill Frank and then act like she was his lover to his caretaker? Will there be mounds and mounds and mounds of coke? How are they doing the international player storyline (the footy team in the second ep got an Italian they all hated. The Nicole slept with him. Then I think he was bi?) here...jackass player from some other team?

However, Lucy Lawless is an amazingly brill choice for Tanya.

Well the essential characters are the same but the storylines have been twisted.
We know Tanya and Jason will definantly be FIGHTING! We know Donna will still search for Daniel, except now she is preggers with Holly instead of having her. Nicole will still show up in the Pilot. Chardonnay was a model, now she is a Popstar, sorta of like Amber. I hope Chardonnay will have her break down. I'm not sure if they will try and kill Frank so early on, maybe wait a bit. And Sal will not be International as American Football is less an International sport.

i am really excited for this
Footballers WiveS = Life
i guess holly wont be kidnapped since she isnt born yet... lol

I hope they introduce Amber and Conrad....that would be GREAT!

and harley and shannon
and darius
and nurse dunkly
and freddie
and seb
and omg everyone
but never go to any characters on overtime

Overtime was painful to watch! But not Seb, Seb was boring.
They really need Shannon, Tanya, Amber, Donna, and Chardonnay. They are simply the best. Ahhh, I can't wait to see the progression of this show!!!

are they gonna show male ass like the original? hehehe ^^

I can't wait to see how this turns out. Lucy Lawless <3 <3

I loved Amber and Conrad when they came on

I love Amber vs. Tanya. The best fights ever.

OMG! Remember when the Triad's put her dog in the food? ewww

Lets relive the best/hilarious moments.
Remember when Chardonnay's boobs caught on fire? and she turned all emo?
And when Bruno shot Conrad?

Emo Chardonnay was great!

Remember how fugly Donna was?
Remember how much ass Conrad got?
Remember when Tanya switched her and Amber's babies, and then killed the real Troy.

remember when kyle went psycho
and jackie became pregnant with jasons baby hahah

And that baby was a hermaphrodite named Paddy
