Channel 4 Cancels Sugar Rush

by Anabel Unity Sale

Channel Four is not commissioning another series of the award-winning drama series about young lesbians in Brighton. Sugar Rush, made by production company Shine, will not continue on the channel despite its popularity with viewers and critics alike. Last November Sugar Rush won an International Emmy in America and two Stonewall Awards for Broadcaster of the Year.

Speaking exclusively to LoveGirls Johnny Capps, Sugar Rush producer and co-creator, said: "We were surprised and disappointed at Channel 4's decision not to recommission Sugar Rush, especially after its ratings and critical success. We certainly had lots of ideas of where to take the next series and it was sad not to be able to finish Kim and Sugar's story properly." He added the reason Channel 4 gave for failing to recommission the series was because the broadcaster "did not have a scheduling slot for it".

A Channel 4 spokeswoman has been quoted as saying there were never plans for a third or fourth series of Sugar Rush, insisting: "It was concluded at end of the second series because we felt the girls' story had run its course." The second series ended with Sugar moving into the flat Kim shares with her new girlfriend Saint.

Olivia Hallinan, the actress who played Kim, told LoveGirls she and the rest of the cast were very disappointed at the decision: "It is such a shame because we are all up for it."

She added that even though she was initially daunted about playing a lesbian character, she soon found it rewarding. "Sugar Rush is important for young women who are lesbian or bi. I used to get so many letters from girls about the show because they could relate to it."

We have an exclusive interview this week with Olivia (Kim) and Lenora (Sugar) from Sugar Rush. Both girls will be reading your comments about the show being cancelled and will each select a member to win a signed Sugar Rush Box Set. So girls ... how do you feel about the show being cancelled?

I loved Sugar Rush and would love to see another series. Channel 4 are talking rubbish saying they don't have a slot for it. They seem to have plenty of slots for Big Brother and E4 has plenty of slots for Friends repeats.
The BBC should pick it up and put it on BBC3

I think that is complete and utter crap that channel 4 just didn't have a slot for it, of all the boring meaningless stupid programmes they have on channel 4 they finally had a good thing going with sugar rush it was witty and alot of people realated to it or helped people to understand what its like for us. This is the second time this has happened as they cancelled Queer as Folk Uk after its second series oh well what can ya do!! BRING BACK SUGAR RUSH!!!! lol

KIM AND SUGAR ARE THE BEST X

well, I am a boy... I mean I am not gay or something, but Sugar Rush made think of many situations and the day by day of a girl who starts to live and found herself inside a world that she even know she could deal with, but at the same time... she knew what she wanted about life. And I think this kind show ´d never, I say never ends... a very good writer and director. in my opinion THE SHOW COULD NEVER ENDS! SUGAR RUSH RULES!!!!!!

I've just been sitting around waiting for something to happen. My life's been generally boring today. Get my pleasure.

Hi!
Without taking into account the issue of establishing a stone by God, which he won't be able to pick up, how do you think, may be something in this world, what can God never see?
