Tori and Dean- Anyone watch?

[beattyfamily]

This show is one of my secret guilty pleasures. I'm embarrassed to admit I do watch it and enjoy it.

I'm torn about how I feel about them. I think while watching it how cute they are together and seem down to earth. But then I remember the circumstances of how they met and how he left his wife with 2 kids.

I'd love to know all the details of why she isn't close to her mother. Jealousy? Was the mother jealous of her (Tori) relationship with her father....daddy's little girl? Is Tori hurt because she only got $800,000 from her father's will and the mother did nothing about that?

I enjoy watching it! I loved the birth episode and the song they sang together.

Does anyone know if there's significance behind the new baby's name? Stella Doreen. Is it a family name perhaps? Also, what is Liam's middle name?

I like the show.

I like the show. I think Tori is hysterical. I love how she was worried about her baby poking through her uterus and damaging one of her organs. She is so off the wall. I think the show is cute. Oh, and the one at the book signing and her uncle came. It was a little spooky how much he looks like Tori's dad!

Her uncle looks so much like her dad. It was scary the first time I saw him. The resemblance is amazing!!

I like the show.

I believe I read Liam's middle name is Aaron after Tori's late dad and Doreen is after Dean's late mom.

Liam's middle name is Aaron after Tori's dad. I'm not sure about any significance for the baby girl's name.

This show is one of my guilty pleasures, too. Tori and Dean are hilarious to watch, and I really do enjoy the show. Like a PP, however, it's not quite the same when I'm watching and thinking of how these two got together in the first place.

Has anyone read Tori's book? I'm tempted to pick it up for some entertaining reading while on vacation next week.

 

[jackdis]

I read the book when it first came out. It was good, but I'm thinking of reading it again and paying closer attention this time around.

My DH says I remind him of her....I guess I'm a little wacky sometimes, too.

I haven't read it, but want to. Must be popular. My neighbor has had it on reserve at the library for a couple months with no luck. I may just have to break down and buy it. Maybe put a book cover on it if I read it in public!

Great minds think alike. Disguising the book with a cover is EXACTLY what I was planning on doing.

Oh good, I am not the only one!
Anyone else looking forward to the new episode next week? I hope they show a lot of the new baby. She looks like a doll Their new house looks nice. Heck, I liked it before they started ripping stuff out! I would have taken those granite counter tops and replaced my formica!

I love this show too! I just started reading her book today, I can tell I'm going to pick it back up tonight to continue & not be able to put it down! I'll be really tired at work tomorrow!

 

[MI mom of 3]

Just started watching this recently. I have never seen an episode of 90210 so all I 'knew' of her came from magazines like People.

She does seem real but also a flake

What does Dean do for a living? And does it bug anyone else that he is always calling her Mama??

No I think it sweet,

PP asked why Tori and her mom didn't have a good relationship I have always took it that Tori mom really wasn;t much of a mother to her and brother. Also to busy for them

I too think it is sort of cute BUT, I like when he calls her "T" better. I guess they like their nick-names. I wonder what the new baby will be? Monkey and ????

i LOVE this show!

I was a huge 90210 fan, but not a Tori or "Donna" fan until this show aired. I really think her and Dean are absolutely ADORABLE together. I think everyone would agree if we didn't know how they "got together". I really feel for both of their ex's... but the way she writes it in her book makes it seem more like a fairytale coming true than anything else. I think they genuilly care for one another a lot! Their relationship together and with Liam is sweet!

Reading her book explained a lot of things. It talked mainly about her relationship with her mother, dad, and childhood, a little about her time on 90210 and struggle with her career, her marriage with Charlie, her affair, and her newfound love in Dean.

I missed the show where she had the Bed & Breakfast (Inn Love I think was the name of it. ). I also missed so noTORIous. Ill have to try and find episodes on the web to catch up on!

I do think she wears the baby bump quite well.... and shes quite fashionable, more-so when pregnant I think!

 

[jackdis]

She's definitely a hot prego mama!

What does Dean do for a living?

he was an actor, though after looking at his imdb he wasn't in anything i've ever watched.

 

[TaraPA]

While I didn't see much that he was in either, his resume is pretty impressive (from imdb). He's been a regular in several TV series (Due South, 1-800-Missing, Power Play, etc) & had many small movie rolls. I remember Due South but don't remember seeing him in it! I've heard him talk about still wanting to act on the show, and they did show him just being in Canada for a few weeks shooting his new movie "Saving God."

The only thing I ever remember seeing him in was the movie he did with Tori when they got together - the murder mystery movie, can't think of the name, "Housesitter" or something like that.

 

[Wonders10]

Not sure but she may have.

She did have a nose job and she's not shy about talking about it either...but it was when she was 16 or therabouts. She briefly talks about it in her book.

What did Tori say to him in the therapists office? Was this in the book?

I'm drawing a blank on exactly what was said but charlie and her went to Tori's therapist to discuss their marriage and the fact that tori wanted to get a divorce. I don't have my book with me so I can't look...

I personally love the show and I was not a "donna" or tori fan during the 90210 days at all. At the end of the day, they are actors doing a show and we are able to see a small portion of their lives (what they want us to see). Of course they want the attention - what actor would do a reality show and not want attention. Yes they met and fell in love under not so great circumstances...but should Dean and Mary Jo have stayed married, or Tori and Charlie have stayed married if they weren't happy? I wouldn't want to be married to someone who wasn't in love with me. Hopefully it works out for Tori and Dean and I'm sure maryJo and charlie are very happy with their lives.

Actually Tori and Dean were in 2 movies together. The first (where they met) had "murder" in the title and then they did "Housesitter" - neither of which I've seen

I really sound like a Tori Spelling know-it-all I'm just remembering all the stuff I read in the book since I read it recently...

 

[pennst8r]

I got the book from the library, too!
I love finding out other people share my guilty pleasure tv!

There is a part in the book about the therapist--didn't she tell him she wanted a divorce there ...something like she wanted her therapists help telling him?

The first episode I watched was when they were in Europe looking at B&Bs to get ideas, and she snuck into a guest room they were cleaning to go to the bathroom(she was very pregnant, and obviously not feeling well) and clogged it?! It was the funniest thing, and she handled it like anyone else would--grabbed Dean and got out of there as fast as she could!
