Fade Street. It's A Wrap... We have to say, that darn Fade Street show is starting to grow on us folks. Sure, we cringed our way through the first few episodes but now Dani, Louise, Vogue and Cici have kinda become addictive TV. Alas, last weekend the wrap-party went down at The Residence and all indicators point to the Fade Street foray being no more... Louise Johnston The Nation’s introduction to Fade Street and its main protagonists was anything but a subtle affair. The first twenty something minute show saw all the main players shoved onto our screens with no back stories, no visible motivations, and all important plot pivot points put down to crazy coincidences. Sooo so many WTF! moments. Vogue Williams We reckon the initial F.S. show really needed an hour long special to gradually introduce the ladies, give them some context, and allow the whole complicated social web to knit together organically. It was all a bit car crash... But now that's all by-the-by we're starting to get into the show. And to be fair to the characters, they're starting to get a little more comfortable on screen too. Cici Cavanagh Now, it would seem, the first season of Fade Street is over and wrapped, and there may not be another run-out for Dani Robinson, Cici Cavanagh, Vogue Williams, and Louise Johnston... Sad face. For the flat, after which the show is named, is apparently up for rent. Yup. Now anyone can live the Fade Street dream... We just hope that Dani wan has finally taken her feckin washing out of the damn machine! Dani Robinson We caught-up with Louise 'the queen of dirty looks' Johnston, Vogue 'the queen of Hersonissos' Williams, Dani 'the queen of the out-there Star Trek fringe' Robinson, and Cici 'is that a bleedin hat or is it her hair?' Cavanagh at the wrap party last Friday night at Residence, where there was a free bar for the Fade Street cast and crew. Well utilised too we hear. Hic. John Norton Other guests at The Residence included the show’s producer John Norton, Dani's man friend Andre Mantout, a rather shy Kathryn Thomas festively dodging our snappers, and quite a few more... Andre Mantout, Dani Robinson So there you have it folks, Fade Street is in the can and all pointers pointedly point to it being a one-off implied reality tv experiment for our RTE overlords... Sniff. Say it aint so. Vogue Williams Fade Street. It got off to a rocky start but we're slowly warming to the quirky format and the colourful characters. But will it burn-out or simply just fade-away? A shy Kathryn Thomas (m) and friends

DA – DA DAA December 13, 2010 - 22:04 Louise should take up acting, her expressions are priceless and the camera loves her, to steal an industry term, she has "presence". Thai – Tanic December 13, 2010 - 18:43 This programme may prove career-limiting for some. Daft.ie December 13, 2010 - 14:12 Whats the rent like on the Fade Street pad? Looks like a 600pm bedsit Carrie – Dublin December 13, 2010 - 14:09 Wow-Vogue needs to hire somebody to make her look good Rickster – Fade Street December 13, 2010 - 13:48 Who would want to rent that flat anyway, judging by the show there is only a couch and a window in it. Dani was okay on the show but the rest got on my nerves. tranny December 13, 2010 - 13:41 worst tv show ever. thank god I spent my tv license money on beer and cigs. if I wanted to see and hear some mind numbing " conversation" by sour lookin bunts in ugh boots, I would sit in a coffee shop in dundrum! kate December 13, 2010 - 11:31 kathryn thomas is hiding her face coz she is ashamed to be spotted with the fade street cast :) balls – balls December 13, 2010 - 10:14 i would rather be a female adulterer in tehran than pay a tv license for this sh!te balls – balls December 13, 2010 - 10:08 "we have heard all the excuses" have you heard this one? heather December 13, 2010 - 09:38 Did anyone read the interview Dani gave in a Sunday newspaper saying they were all stone broke?
