Olivia Hallinan | Sugar Rush | Cast

Sugar Rush - Channel 4's Lesbian Teen Drama Series
Olivia Hallinan heads the celebrity cast list of Sugar Rush as she played the central character, Kim Daniels. Sugar Rush was based on the book of the same title written by Julie Burchill. The television version did not follow the same story as the book, episodes were written by Katie Baxendale, Julie Burchill, Jane English and Liz Doran. The programme used the following directors Harry Bradbeer, Sean Grundy, Philip John. Johnny Capps was the producer and Julian Murphy the executive producer on the show. Sugar Rush was broadcast in the UK by Channel 4 between 2005 and 2006.

You can see that this is a much smaller cast than Lark Rise to Candleford. Reading through this list of celebrity names brings back some good memories.

If you did not see the programme it is worth buying the DVDs.

That is all for today
Olivia Hallinan fans, but I will bring more information as I get it. Since posting my products page I have discovered the Sugar Kiss range of clothing inspired by Sugar Rush and exclusively for girls who like girls. I will write this up at some point for those interested in this type of product or merchandise.

Olivia Hallinan is currently starring as Laura Timmins in the BBC1 adaptation of Lark Rise to Candleford. I have added some new information about the making of the series taken from interviews with the cast.

Lark Rise to Candleford - the end is Nigh!

I still see lots of forum posts from people lamenting the end of Sugar Rush. I'm not too bothered now that Lark Rise has been given a second series. I think Olivia looks great in her costume whereas all the other cast members look a bit shoddy. Maybe that's just how I see it!
