Charisma on "Malibu Shores"

Anybody here see Charisma on the short lived NBC series "Malibu Shores" in the pre Cordelia days?

I just acquired all ten episodes on VHS and finished watching them yesterday.

I watched that show when it was on the air. I remember Charisma on it. And I remember the general concept of the show and what went on between the two main characters. But I dont remember much beyond that. I'm jealous you got all 10 episodes!

I'm not surprised you don't remember much of Charisma. She was one of 14 characters in the opening credits. Her character Ashley was very much like early Cordelia. In fact after this show ended, Charisma hesitated taking the Cordelia part because she didn't want to be typecast as a "bitch". There were a couple of good episodes that gave the Ashely character some depth, but overall I am glad it ended.

Charisma's talents would have been obscured in a cast that big. And in retrospect I just can't imagine anyone else playing Cordelia.

14 characters? I don't remember it being that big! Am I right in remembering that a more dorkier or less popular guy was attracted to her character? I cant remember if it was her character or someone else.

You are correct. A dork whose only name was Flipper chased her around all season and boy did she diss him big time.

If I didn't love Charisma so much, I would feel sorry for the kid.

I wonder why writers seem to like to set the bitchy rich girl up with the more dorkier guys?

Good question.

One thing I liked about this show was we got to see Ashely interact with her parents. Something we never saw Cordelia do in seven seasons.

I wish I had seen this show. Can someone give me what the plot was about? I know that Charisma played a bitch and that's it!

From what I remember Kerri Russells character was from the rich side of town. And then there was another guy who was from a more poor side of town. And for some reason that I can't remember the poorer kids were forced to go to the high school in the richer area. Anyways Kerri's character ended up getting involved with the main guy from the poorer kids group. And as a result there was conflict between the two groups. Or something like that.

That's about right magical. There was an earthquake that wrecked the valley kid's school which is why they all started going to the malibu school. The main plot was the Kerry Russell character falling for the Tony lucca character (who is he?). The uptown girl falls the wrong side of the track guy. With 14 characters, many other plots going on.

Charisma's main plot through the 10 episodes was her pursuit by the loser valley kid flipper. There were two other girls that followed her around and wanted to hang with her. Sort of like two Harmony's but with brains.

Oh yeah! I remember the earth quake thing now. I was rooting for the relationship that Kerri Russell's character was having with that guy.

Was Charisma's character friend's with Kerri's character? For some reason I remember her not approving of the her dating that guy.

Nope, Charisma/Ashley disapproved of him and all the valley kids. She pegged them as losers.

She had her eye on on the Kerri Russell character's brother though, and kept trying to hook up with him all season. Ironically, he was played by greg vaughan who later played one of the frat guys in "Reptile Boy" that tried to sacrifice Cordelia and Buffy to the demon Machida.

Oh! I kind of remember her liking that guy. Didn't he have an interest in some other girl? A girl who was less popular?

Yes, he was interested in his sister's sort of geeky friend and they were a couple for a few episodes while Ashley(Charisma) kept plotting devious ways to steal him.

At the end of the 7th episode, her latest plot failed and they were dancing while Ashley watched. Ashley was like "happy ending, I hate happy endings"

I cant remember at the time if I was rooting for the more geeky girl and him or not. I bet I would have been. Because I tend to go for that and not for the bitchy person who is coming in between. But if I had been watching that show now I know I would have been rooting for Charisma's character. How times change..
