Footballers Wive$ New Season Thoughts
I’ve finally caught up with the first two episodes of the new season of Footballers Wive$ on BBC America. Here are some quick thoughts on the stories (the ones I recall!)
A few new characters have been introduced this season. Tremain, a new player on the team and his wife Liberty. Liberty has this blond exotic assistant that she’s, shall we say, shagging behind her hubby’s back. It seems the assistant at the same time is trying to get the hubby in bed too! She is up to something with them, she’s playing a game.
Bruno and Lucy tried to get married in the season opener, but Lucy learned he never divorced his ex so their whole marriage was a fraud. She ran off and it seems Lucy and the kids are gone. I’m not sure if they will be coming back or not anytime this season, which by the way is the final season of the series.
Amber, who has been “informed” by Conrad’s spirit that Bruno killed him, has taken up with Bruno in an attempt to drive him crazy. This actually is the best story of the season so far. She found the gun he used that he buried and planted it in the bed. Has been leaving messages from Conrad on his voice mail. Love it! This is what the show is about, pure camp. Campy as that huge rock Amber has on her finger!
Meanwhile Shannan and Darius are now hooking up and Darius had an “accident” which has apparently ended his career. Roger, the team coach, seems to think the new owner of the team may have arranged it. Hmmmmm.
I have to say I’m looking forward to the return of Tanya this season. She really is what the show is about, and it’s just not the same without her. I also have to say I miss Hazel’s character so much! I loved the paintings of herself she had all over her office.
OMG I thought they would give more seasons since there are 5 seasons that have been seen in England. As to this season it is starting off ok, but even I am looking forward to seeing Tanya back. Also I think you should look into Hex also that one I know will be over after this season.

I could not get into Hex at all. Yeah it ends this season too. I wonder what BBC America will start showing, all their big shows are ending.
Mile High annoys me, I tried to get into it.

I’ve been loving both Hex and Footballers Wives and am sad to see them go. I’m enjoying the Amber/Bruno storyline, but I’m really just waiting for Tanya to return.
I find myself watching more BBC America than other cable nets. I’m wanting to know when Life on Mars will be back….

Ab Fab ended awhile back. The two gals who did it had a new show on BBC for awhile this summer.

WTH is with Liberty?? Sorry, but shes gotta be one of THE worst actors ive seen in a long time…ug and those lips..everything about her is just annoying. Tanya (my hero) is arriving back this wednesday and i cant wait! She totally makes the show and i cant wait to see how she interacts with joan collins.hmmmm wonder if janett dunkley will return too..the two of them (tanya) made the perfect match.
