Derek Masters

[oldhickory]

i'm not sure if there's already a thread about him (i couldn't find one), but derek is one of my favorite clients. i think he's really sweet and easy going, and i love how much he just wants to be a regular kid. you definitely see his more human side a couple of times -- like in superbrat, or in mystery train, where he gets jealous that his friends are having fun without him while he does interviews for the press. but considering his age and how much pressure he's under, i think he handles himself really well.

what do you guys think? i'm sure there are some haters out there :]

I like him a lot too. Even more so when he admitted to Claudia, I think, that he was nervous about the kissing role on his tv show and how his friends were pressuring him...and pimping Vanessa! Oh man...

One thing I never understood, why were Kristy and Mary Anne babysitting him on the set of the Vampire movie? Isn't there a law about minors needing a guardian of a legal age with them at all times if they're in entertainment?

I like Derek Masters too! The only books I've read about him so far are "Jessi and the Superbrat" and "California Girls" but I think he seems like one sweet kid. I like how he tries to be a regular kid despite his superstardom.

He needed to stop trying to push Jessi into show biz. Derek, she got the crocodile part in Peter Pan. That's one step up from a tree. She's no actress, so give it up already.

^ this just made my day.

I always liked Derek. I think my deciding point was his friendship with Jessi.

Derek never interested me because of his career. He bothers me whenever he tries to get Jessi into show biz.

I like Derek, I just wish all his plots didn’t include the acting/movie industry. If he wanted to be a normal kid then don’t give him plots like that.
