Out of all the secondary and tertiary characters in the series, whose Portrait(s) would you most like to read?
My choices:
1) Cokie Mason. The BSC's enemy from her own perspective. We get a little of it in Starring the BSC!, but she is quite inconsistent--cf. her pride over reading six Beatrix Potter books--and I really want to know what kind of person would pull all kinds of trickery to get (eww! yuck!) Logan Bruno to go out with her.
2) Maggie Blume. I'd like to know more about Maggie's pre-CA Diaries life, when she was all "LA futuristic cyberpunk," and plus growing up in the middle of the Hollywood scene must have been pretty interesting.
3) Cary Retlin. Cary's the best part of the later series for me, and I'd like to know more about Stoneybrook's own riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.

1. My very favorite series character, Mimi. I would love to read more of her story and history, including about her husband and their early life together. Maybe my other favorite series character Louie, could somehow have a tie in. 2. Since my favorite BSC client is Jamie Newton it might be fun to read more about his family. 3. Mr. Staples from "Baby-sitters' on Board." Perhaps in that "book" he could have kept up a friendship with Kristy regardless of whether he and Nannie hit it off.

I thought the Portraits were rather bad, so nobody really. If it was more of a Logan/Shannon Story type book (just a story narrated by them in the present day) then:
1. Alan Gray (before he got all sensitive and lost his edge)
2. Hannie Papadakis (I love her sass in Karen's super specials)
3. Charlie or Sam Thomas, but only if absolutely nothing about Patrick was talked about

I'm going to pick Jill Henderson (at least I think it's her last name) but only after Dawn and the others ditched her in CD.

I like the idea of Cokie and Cary. Maybe also Ashley? Or what about Pete Black? Who is he REALLY since he seems to be the boy of many faces.

I think that with Pete Black, they'd basically have to start from scratch because he is so undefined. I like the idea of Jill, too--maybe not a portrait so much as seeing the events in Dawn's first book from her perspective.

mimi, mrs stevenson, and cary are all characters that don't talk about their history much and i think it would be pretty cool if they had portraits so we could learn more about them. they are also some of my favorite characters, or at least in rachel's case, i don't have the disdain that others have for her.

Jill left such a big impression on me after reading California Diaries. I can't imagine how devastating it would have been to have been dumped by her tight-knit group of best friends in such a humiliating way - seriously, that's the kind of stuff that can scar a person for life. I also feel like she might have had some issues, like she wasn't able to deal with her life when she started high school and was trying to find ways to cope. I spent more time wondering about Jill than most other characters in the BSC universe.
