What’s it like living with Pacey, then? ‘You know what, I’ve never seen Dawson’s Creek, because my mum didn’t really let us watch TV,’ she laughs. ‘He couldn’t believe it. He was, like, You’re the perfect girl for me, because you never saw me with pimples.’ Hasn’t he got a box set he could show you? ‘Well, yes, but I’m not sure if I should watch it. It might change my perception of him. When I met him, he’s a man, you know? I’m not sure I want to see his awkward teenage mode.'”

Villains, Part 5

30 06 2009

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4

GOSSIP GIRL

1. Georgina Sparks (played by Michelle Trachtenberg)

Only a teen and already a wild child, Georgina relies on alcohol and lies to make sure she gets her way–which usually means screwing over nemesis Serena (Blake Lively).  Among her heinous acts: pretending to be someone else and blackmail.

2. Gossip Girl (voiced by Kristen Bell)

She/he is the source of many problems in the halls of Constant Billard and St. Judes.  By simply exposing damaging secrets via text or her blog, Gossip Girl’s identity remains a mystery.

I debated whether or not to included Chuck (Ed Westwick) and Blair (Leighton Meester) as villains but ultimately decided not to as I think they have many more redeeming qualities to them than any of the others I included on my list.

I think we can all agree that there are no outright villains on 90210 (yet) so my list ends here.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Gina Kincaid (Beverly Hills 90210)

Suzanne Steele (Beverly Hills 90210)

Garrett Slan (Beverly Hills 90210)

Tony Marchette (Beverly Hills 90210)

Evan Potter (Beverly Hills 90210)

Joe Patch (Beverly Hills 90210)

Eve Whitman (Dawson’s Creek)

Matt Caufield (Dawson’s Creek)

Luke Ward (The O.C.)

Oliver Trask (The O.C.)

Caleb Nichol (The O.C.)

Trey Atwood (The O.C.)
