Desperate Scousewives RIP?
After our bile-spewing episode one recap seemed to hit a nerve - legal threats and servers breaking: just a normal day on SevenStreets - you can be sure we weren’t fans of the Liverpool-based ‘dramality’ (all the turgid lies of a reality show, with additional wooden acting).
We didn’t write about the series after that, but we kept a close eye on what our Twitter and Facebook followers were saying. The general consensus: total shit, but the shots of Liverpool looked nice.
The cast have been holding out for the E4 gods to recommission the show - tans have been topped up, talons polished, tweets sent - but alas, it looks like it’s not to be. Today there’s been reports swirling in various newspapers that it’s been axed, and that viewers “failed to warm” to characters like ice queen/MDF human Amanda Harrington. Whatever could they mean?
There’s been no official confirmation from the cast members or production team (edit: today, 28th Feb, E4 bosses confirmed it’s not coming back), but it looks like the show’s on its knees, quivering round the back of E4′s shed, waiting for the bullet. You’re all invited to our street party to celebrate.

@7streets please let it be true!
@7streets ‘Consensus: total shit.’ #lovethat
Thank fucking god! @7streets http://t.co/7pvyn5L8 @PaulineCoxy
@merseytart @7streets now if only they could do the same with TOWIE and MIC!
There needs to be a decent tv show set in Liverpool so there can be nice shots of our city complete with engaging story lines and charachters we can actually identify with….not Brookside take 2 but like a decent comedy or something….any budding scouse scriptwriters out there should get their thinking caps on!
@7streets then they can all go back to their day jobs… Whatever they were…
@Aim1251 who decided this? What now for Danny and Layla and the one who said she was a journalist? They’ll die without E4!
@racheldenton @laurawalker89 @7streets hallelujah !!
But what to do with me jumbo rollers now?
Out of UK while this was being aired, so can’t comment on the programme. On the other hand, I found all your articles and the comments very entertaining. Thanks
to bad rubbish!
oh dear, what a shame. NOT! despised that programme, that “ice queen/MDF human Amanda Harrington” shout killed me, haha brilliant mate
Next stage in ‘TV evolution’ please - reality TV has outstayed its welcome, like a boring acquaintance sitting on the sofa at midnight on Sunday.
wonder what the opposite of a Midas touch is? La Harrington certainly has it.
The ‘cloth touch’
I liked it!
I have a dream… where this bollocks programme gets taken off the air forever, where the people who are on it end up in the doll queues and where something good comes on the telly for a change so I have something worth paying a license for
STOP with the reality TV !! it’s bloody awful….then we have hours of coverage about the reality TV on other channels and then a whole of host of magazine and other media deals, we have a horrible celebrity culture.
Mind knumbing headache prevoking shite!!! What has society become…
No idea why I watched it, never liked it and won’t miss it.
I did not see it but hopefully I can get the box set in Home Bargain
I hated it and yet watched every episode. I don’t know what to think anymore!
Sooo glad its going. Sad wannabee chavs. Sorry its the truth
Awful programme showcasing vacuous idiots in this new sphere of ‘structured reality’, which is just college talk for ‘lying’. These people should be stripped for parts and never ever heard from again.
good riddance, fewer stereotypes for people to sneer at , especially when there are so many really talented young women in liverpool.
Will there be a sequel? The only way is across the river I’m not a scouser? Just to add to the controversy…
thank fuck for that
Can’t tell you how happy I am this has been canned!
@7streets thank god, that programme was shit
@7streets It was utterly dogshit!
@7streets praise the lord!! the acting was a mix between school play and brookie circa 1997!
Something in the style of Cold Feet would be good- did wonders for Manchester!
