Teen Drama’s Villainous Characters

26 06 2009

Teen drama has its fair share of villainous characters.  Their actions might make us furious, but we can’t deny that their drama-causing ways spice things up. Not unsimilar to my Biggest Vixens series, it’s time to look at the most villainous teen drama characters.

BEVERLY HILLS, 90210

1. Valerie Malone (played by Tiffani Amber Thiessen)

When Valerie came to town in season 5, she put on a sweet face but viewers learned by the end of her first episode that appearances could be deceiving. Of the next few years, Valerie faked a pregnancy and an abortion, cheated on her boyfriends and sabotaged the relationships and lives of her supposed friends.  As Kelly (Jennie Garth) once said to her, “You are such a bitch!”

2. Ray Pruitt (played by Jamie Walters)

Season 5 also brought Ray Pruitt to town, where he wooed–and then beat–Donna (Tori Spelling).  Hated by fans for his character’s repeated physical and emotional abuse, Walters was was let go from the show.


Come back tomorrow to find out who are the villains of Dawson’s Creek!

Top 10 Real-Life Relationships Pt. 2

23 04 2009

Part 1

The countdown continues with, coincidentally, two relationships from the same show.

8. Jason Priestley (Brandon, Beverly Hills 90210) and Christine Elise (Emily, Beverly Hills 90210)

Priestley and Elise dated and live together for several years during the 90s.  Elise’s three appearances on the show (season 2, season 4, and season 5) all occurred during the course of their relationship.  Ironically, on the show, their characters’ initial relationship ended when Emily went a little pyscho.  It later didn’t work out because of timing, and because of Brandon’s relationship with Kelly.

7. Brian Austin Green (David, Beverly Hills 90210) and Tiffani Amber Thiessen (Valerie, Beverly Hills 90210)

This couple actually began seeing each other before Tiffani joined the show in the fall of 1993.  In addition to 90210, they also appeared together once in an episode of Saved by the Bell: The College Years and the television movie “She Fought Alone.”

YouTube Video of the Week

22 02 2009

Tiffani Amber Thiessen (Valerie, Beverly Hills 90210) is one of the few teen drama stars–if not the only–to have had a prior significant teleivsion gig.

As Kelly Kapowski on Saved by the Bell, Theissen worked her way into the hearts of adolsecents across the country.  It was hard to find a young girl who didn’t want to be her and a young boy that didn’t want to date her.

The following clip highlights some of Thiessen/Kelly’s best cheerleading moments.

Have another favorite Thiessen/Kelly moment?  Or like another teen drama star’s other work?  Post in the comments!

(It’s also worth mentioning that Tori Spelling (Donna, Beverly Hills 90210) appeared in several SBTB episodes as Violet, while she was on 90210.  You can watch a clip here!)

Trying to get unrestricted access to the first video.  For now, just click twice to watch in a new window.
