I miss Val

Don’t you think they should bring Val back? I miss her, and I miss Tiffany (Amber) Thiessen, too. And unlike Jason Priestly, she still looks like an actual person, instead of a person who has opted out of civilization and basic hygiene. She’s awfully sportif these days – here’s photos of her at at Nike 10K race and the Nautica Malibu Triathalon (the one that J.Lo did too.)

Valerie!!

I cannot pick a single favorite Valerie moment because pretty much every little thing she did was magic. Other people on the show were bitchy (KELLY) but were presented as good girls and we were supposed to think their bad actions were part of their overall great characters (Kelly is an angel). Valerie, on the other hand, was an unrepentant bitch who did stuff just to stir shit up – and to antagonize Kelly. She stole other people’s men. She read diaries and eavesdropped. She smoked pot in the Walsh house. She totally scammed Steve Sanders. That girl she was friends with came to town and stole things from rich people and Donna’s blue collar boyfriend got blamed. Later on they gave her some emotional backstory about being abused by her father but then revealed that she had shot her father to death, which was pretty cool and something Kelly never would have done. Stupid Kelly.

Valerie Goes to Mexico to Get Dylan’s Money

After Dylan’s dad blew up (or did he?) he was pining for family and his mom was a crazy hippie who was no good to anyone. So when this lady came along claiming to have had a kid with Jack back in the day, with Dylan’s alleged half-sister in tow, Dylan jumped at it. And when the lady’s sketchy boyfriend needed money to invest in some eco project that would make surfing clean and awesome again, man, Dylan did not even think before throwing money at it. And then we were all quite surprised that they all took off with Dylan’s money and he couldn’t find them anywhere and there was no eco company and surfing would be dirty forever! After some time, Dylan hires a PI, Jonsey, the most awesome character on the entire show, who finds them holed up in Mexico. Dylan goes down there and Valerie goes too – partly to help Dylan and partly to piss off Kelly. Val then has to work with Jonsey undercover to trick evil man and lady into telling them where the money is. Watching Val, in a bikini, work with crazy-ass Jonsey is a total treat and makes me want to cast Tiffani-Amber Thiessen in action movies, ala Angelina Jolie.
