Sweet Valley Series

OMG, Allen Walters! I can't remember the last time that name popped into my head. I guess it's been a while since I read an SVH with him in it. I agree that he likely had a mullet--in fact, I've always pictured him looking like a blond version of this guy I went to HS with.

I don't know about Guy Chesney. I imagined him with beady eyes and unclean fingernails--and, yes, a ratty mullet.

Todd sucked, indeed (so boring!), but Jeffrey was hot. He was sensitive, artistic (and athletic!), and had green eyes... siiigggghhhh.

He was no Bruce Patman! Bruce was rich . . . and um, well, I think he drove a nice car? And didn't he have a nice deaf girlfriend that temporarily made him nice? Or something? And he liked to touch the boobies . . . and again, he was rich . . . what more do you really need in a fictitious boyfriend?

[Deleted]

Oh Bruce...you and your Porsche (1BRUCE1).

Todd bored the hell out of me. Jeffrey was more interesting but I never really took to him either.

[deelight]

I thought Todd was kinda smug and goody-goody. He especially got on my nerves when he and Liz played house for that week while both of their parents were away. He was also way too mushy and sentimental. What 16-year old guy acts like that, esp if he's not getting any??

Jeffrey was better, but nothing really stood out with him either.

I personally liked Bruce. I mean, he was rich, good-looking and confident. Sure he could be a jerk, but under it all I think he was a pretty decent guy. His heart was in the right place.

My favorite fictitious boyfriend was Jessica's boyfriend Sam who died in the car crash. Why did they have to kill off the only truly likeable male in the while series???

Anyone remember the Secret Diaries of Jessica and Elizabeth, where we found out that Elizabeth actually cheated on Todd with Sam before Jessica started dating him? It put a whole different spin on prom night, when Sam and Liz got drunk and left together...

I liked Sam, too. Jessica didn't seem as super-bitchy when she was with Sam.

I didn't think that any of Elizabeth's boyfriends were all that great. Elizabeth didn't really deserve a good boyfriend, anyway. Didn't she cheat on Todd or whoever she was with at the time practically every time she went on vacation?

[Deleted]

Yeah, poor Todd was out the window every vacation the tiwns took...

[chonies]

Elizabeth only cheated on Todd in the Secret Diaries, which...doesn't really matter to me. I totally believe she would, but the codependent plot there was that Jessica lurved Todd all along. Sigh. Was Aaron Dallas the anger management guy?

I could, in theory, get on Team Patman, but I really hate the "love of a good woman" theme. For all of his Kennedy-esque posturing, he didn't do anything nearly as interesting with his money as the nouveau-riche Fowlers did. Although, I suppose by some standards the Kennedys are nouveau-riche, too. Sigh.

Confession: I live in a state which only issues one license plate. Should I get a 1BRUCE1 vanity plate for the front?

Remember when they were nannies for a summer and Jessica's charge was the niece of a rock star? Didn't he fall in love with Liz, too?

[dwanollah]

Everyone fell in love with Liz. She was sooooo perfect. And yeah, every single vacation (except the bike trip up the coast, in which Todd cheated on her), she hooked up with someone else. Whore!

Dreamiest SVH boy? Der... Bill Chase!

She also cheated on him with Bruce Patman, when Todd was staying with her for the week! It was when they discovered that their parents had once been married to eachother, and started to re-live their romance! They were kinda cute together actually.
