Valerie Malone

From 90210pedia

Valerie Malone, played by Tiffani Thiessen, is a character introduced in the first series of the Beverly Hills, 90210 continuity.

Valerie moved to Beverly Hills in Season 5, where she lived with her old friends, the Walsh family. Unbeknownst to Brandon and his parents, she was not entirely the person they remembered, but a young woman who'd developed a somewhat naughtier and more brash personality. She was quickly revealed to be a drug user, cared little about breaking the heart of Steve Sanders, and played manipulative games with Dylan McKay, whom she found in a slump. The two spent a brief period sleeping together before their sexual relationship ended, with Dylan becoming gradually more aware of her nature. However, Valerie later assisted Dylan as he teamed with a professional investigator for an adventurous trip out of the country.

Valerie eventually seduced Ray Pruit, who was involved with Donna Martin at the time. The two managed to keep this a secret until Valerie admitted it to a suspicious Donna. She also attempted to seduce Brandon, but the two were interrupted by Brandon's ex-girlfriend Kelly, which ended up discouraging Brandon from going through with the act.

It was eventually revealed that Valerie had been sexually assaulted by her father before her move to Beverly Hills. She received unexpected comfort from David Silver, and later fell in love with him. Though their relationship didn't last, the two ultimately remained on friendly terms throughout the series.

Although Valerie and Kelly had largely disliked each other, they formed a truce when Valerie left town. She appeared again during the series finale.
