Girls in Love is a British teen drama series produced by Granada Television which aired on CITV. It is based on the book of the same title, both created by UK author Jacqueline Wilson. The show ran for two series in 2003 to 2005. The show was filmed in Manchester, UK.
Three teenage girls – Ellie (Hallinan), Magda (Abrahams) and Nadine (Kwolek) – are best friends that go through the somewhat weird and wonderful world of boys together. The show is narrated by Ellie, and usually portrays her life events in her sketchbook, which blends the show's live action with animation in a similar manner to the American teen comedy hit Lizzie Maguire. She lives with her dad and his girlfriend (later wife) Anna, and her baby half-brother Benedict "Eggs".
The show has received criticism from fans of the book, much of it 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 black with dark hair; in the book, she is white and has dyed red hair. Also in the book Ellie has a younger brother Eggs who is five years old, however in the series Eggs isn't born till later on. Girls In Love was repeated for the first time since 2005 on CITV's digital channel from September 2010. The TV series was also repeated on Australia's children channel ABC3 in 2010 and most recently repeated in June 2016.
