Fun Fact

12 08 2009

Remember this for a future trivia question:

Tiffani Amber Thiessen (Valerie, Beverly Hills 90210) is best-known for playing Kelly on Saved by the Bell.

But in the world of 90210, Thiessen’s character is best-known for feuding with a Kelly–this one played by Jennie Garth.

In real life during the 90210 years, Thiessen and Garth were actually best friends.

And, to go in a different direction: Valerie’s frenemy is Tori Spelling’s Donna.

Spelling appeared alongside Thiessen on Saved by the Bell, as the nerdy outsider Victoria Bickerstaff.

Oh, what a tangled web they weave!

  • Enjoyed this part of an interview with Diane Kruger: “She’s also a regular on the fashion circuit, often accompanied by her longtime squeeze, Joshua Jackson, better known to a generation of women as Pacey Witter off Dawson’s Creek. 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.'”

Sexiest Teen Drama Moments

Sure, it’s primetime and the characters are usually in high school, but that doesn’t mean teen dramas never get down and dirty.  I’ll spend the next few days highlighting, show-by-show, some of my favorite sexy moments.

Kelly and Brandon decide to spice up their relationship by having sex anywhere and everywhere throughout the episode.

2. Forgive and Forget, 8.3

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!
