pickIt‘s the 1st #SweetValleyHighChristmas! But this is probably one of my least favorites—it opens at the start of winter break with Liz helping with the Secret Santa assignments while looking forward to Todd‘s visit from VT. But they get the news that Suzanne Devlin begged to come back, supposedly to make amends. Jessica dives in with some help to make Suzy‘s stay miserable. She‘s miserable enough about her health—though Todd makes her feel better!
Time for another remixed classic! I read WUTHERING HEIGHTS over fifteen years ago, and the main thing I remember about it is that it was a lot more intense and enjoyable than I expected. This version‘s off to a good start too.
pickIn an unexplained week off from school, not only is SVH off, but Steven‘s considering dropping out of college on account of his lingering grief over Tricia. Jessica tries to cheer him up, but he lashes out at her in a way he would never do to Liz. Jess starts flirting with “bad boy” Nicky Shepard & starts to resent her family more & more for so clearly preferring her twin—“the savior of the world, defender of the oppressed…everyone‘s best friend.”
pickOn George Warren‘s first official flight with his pilot‘s license, he takes Enid up— planning on breaking up with her afterwards since he fell in love with Robin Wilson during flight school. But the Cessna 150 stalls out & he does a crash landing onto Secca Lake! Enid saves his life but bruises her spine, paralyzing her legs! Enid‘s depression after, knowing George is pulling away comes to an end when Liz tricks her into saving Teddy Collins!
pickAfter meeting handsome construction worker, Jack, Lila hosts a lavish party at Fowler Crest to both show off & to show him off. Jessica plans on stealing him before she even lays eyes on him, but his handsome face has her flirting unabashedly in front of Lila! Jack offers a sad past, determined to make his way separate from his wealthy family, while dating Jessica during the week & Lila on weekends. Suspicious Liz learns the truth & saves the day!
pickLiz leads a fundraiser for the Fowler Memorial Hospital but still finds time to worry about Regina Morrow dating Bruce Patman. So far in #SVH, Bruce‘s been a braggart & downright creep—plus this is Regina‘s first time at school for hearing students, & her first boyfriend! Jessica meddles by starting a rumor about why Bruce dates Regina, but in the end Bruce puts Regina first so she can go to Switzerland for a year of surgery to repair her hearing!
pickAt the party to celebrate Liz‘s return from being kidnapped, Nicholas Morrow immediately falls in love with her. Jessica, harboring her own crush on Nicholas, seeks out computer nerd Randy Mason to learn more about computers (the Morrow family business). Liz doesn‘t want to hurt anyone‘s feelings, so she agrees to give Nicholas a chance & go on a date with him while Todd celebrates with his family. She gets caught & Nicholas smooths things over!
pickThis marks the first #SVHSpringBreak & Ned‘s old college roommate‘s daughter, Suzanne Devlin, come to #SweetValley & Jessica connives her way to NYC instead of Liz, who wins the coin toss. Liz admits she‘d rather stay anyways & at first, Suzanne seems lovely— always helping & having all the boys flirt with her… but she sets her sights on Mr. Collins & when he rebuffs her, Suzanne‘s real attitude comes out & she tries to get him fired in a bad way!
