It was a testimony to Tiffani's acting and the good writing that Valerie was so popular througout her run on the show. I'd equate her with Heather Locklear's bad girl portrayal on Melrose Place, and more recently Eva's on Desperate Housewives. But television on a whole hasn't done a very good job of keeping the bad girls likeable. Either they get to be goody two shoes or just too evil.

^Word.

Usualy you can always hate the girl or love the girl. There's no bad girl worth watching that is cool and bad at the same time, not like Valerie.

I just loved Val, Tiffani did a great job playing her!!!

Totally. :D :nod:

I've been crushing on her forever. :lol:

She's one of the girls who got the whole package... brain, beauty and talent. :)

^ SO damn true. Whole package baby.

ITA. Nowadays, they have such a hard making a bad girl who is bad and made you feel sorry for her...so you'd like her. Meh. But yeah...those other girls were okay...but nothing compares to Tiff's Valerie, IMO.

Valerie was the most awsome they could get with a bad girl that you love. And it's not pitty love,

Ha. Yes...she'll teach how to be bad.

She will! She should, really. I just can't find a bad girl as cool as her.

Me neither. LOL.

I need to go looking for pictures of her. I have a ton of Jennie ones. LOL.

:lol: I would imagine as much :P

I need some pics of her too. But, since my photoshop decided that he hates me, I won't go looking for them tonight.

Ahh. My poor A! LOL. Still doesn't work?

I have a funny Valarie/90210 story.

In the 10th grade, I took Radio and Television Broadcasting. Our final project was to come up with a talk show. There were three people in my group. I was an actress who was on 90210 and Valeries best friend. My friend played Valerie and we had a huge cat fight to do our "sneek peek clip" for our talk show. It was pretty awesome. I wish I had the tape, I want to watch it again.

Simply gorgeous ..

Aww. That would have been cool to see. Hee.

WOW! Stunning. :thud:

Wow. I love this picture of her.

I love Tiffani and Valerie. Could I be added? Until recently, I never liked or cared for her character, but after re-watching the Valerie years I just love her. She's just fascinating. She knew what she wanted and how to get it; you have to admire her ambition.

I can totally relate to her independence and although I haven't gone through half the tragedies of her adolesence that she has; she's the character I can relate to the most on this show.

She totally is admirable. The way that she just goes for things. I wish I could be like that.

^ Well, I wish I could just be as strong as she is. She was incredibly broken, but never really used her tragedies and vulnerability to gain sympathy from others. She stayed strong and the only person she ever really told was Tom and David...I actually kind of forgot, but I don't think she even told Brandon.

She was raped by her father at 11 and it lasted until she was what 17...18? Her own flesh and blood, the man that created her, and then shot him, and staged it as a suicide. I would've never been able to survive that...just any of it. If that's not strong then I don't know what is.

One thing I loved about her was that she had the perfect sense of vulnerability. She was never show too little for emotion when she cried and it never seemed forced like Brenda and she never showed too much vulnerabilty like Kelly. Whenever she cried it seemed natural and they never overdid it with her vulnerable scenes. You never saw her break down and cry whenever something bad happened to her.

That's why I think Val is dah bomb!! Dude, she killed her father and you still loved her!!

And I absolutely loved that. It just shows you how talented Tiff really was.

LMAO. A, that isn't supposed to be funny..but it is!

And I wasn't even trying to be funny :lmao: But I see how it seems now :lol:

Totally. I hate it when the actor is crying and you can see how fake it is. I never felt that with her!

See. LOL. It's mean but funny.

YES! I hate that. And they look weird and sh/t. Ew.

When they're making faces to seem like they're crying?! So horrible.

I'm glad Tiff never had to do that

YES! I hate, hate that. Like you know it's fake when...

Tiff is so talented. I hope she'll get bigger film roles in future. She so deserves it.
