Girls in Love - Season 1 (2003)

Ellie's speechless when Dad and Anna announce that they're getting married. It calls for immediate action - she can't go to the wedding without a date. Dan is the obvious choice, but he will only agree to go as her boyfriend.

Both Ellie and Dad have bad cases of wedding day nerves. The image of Dan and his new girlfriend keeps popping into her head, then Dad disappears. It's up to Ellie to sort things out before the day is ruined.

Why isn't Ellie feeling fantastic? She and Dan have spent the holidays together but something's missing. The chemistry's not there so she ends it. But before she has time to miss him, Dad and Anna reveal some shocking news.

With a new baby about to steal the limelight, Ellie decides to think positive and help Anna. Magda offers up some serious eye-candy to cheer her up but despite some sharp flirting they discover their target isn't into girls.

Ellie discovers that Dan has a new girlfriend - even worse she's stick thin. Ellie suddenly feels fat and unattractive so Magda suggests a trip to the swimming pool. While Ellie gets some exercise, Magda chats to a hunk.

The girls are officially depressed and decide that revenge is the best medicine: Magda plans some poolside payback, Nadine humiliates her nasty sister and Ellie deals with Dan's new girlfriend.

Greg announces his undying love for Magda, Nadine receives a love letter from a secret admirer, so Ellie is the only singleton once again. But then she meets Russell and it seems her luck is about to change.

Ellie is officially in love - it's magical, wonderful and all consuming - and everyone else is being neglected. Magda and Nadine are horrified but it's not until Anna is rushed to hospital that Ellie discovers...is it too late?

Ellie sneaks a peek at Russell's sketchbook and is shocked to see that he's secretly read her diary. Magda falls for the art teacher, Mr Green. She does everything to catch his eye but all she gets is a dose of embarrassment.

Life seems perfect for Ellie until a concert with the girls clashes with Russell's school dance. She knows she should tell him the truth, but sometimes lies just spill out. Russell's not impressed when he discovers the truth.
