We’re still on a contact high after Sweet Valley High creator Francine Pascal visited the EW office yesterday, so here’s a very important Lunchtime Poll (hey, West Coast!) about which secondary character — i.e. anyone not named Wakefield — you most wanted to befriend.
I’m partial to Annie Whitman (as we share the nickname “Easy Annie”), but Kirsten Baldwin won’t shut up about cheerleading co-captain Robin Wilson. SPOILER ALERT: She dies! 
At least neither of us cared about rich, handsome snob Bruce Patman (pictured), because we happen to have a little something called taste. And dignity. Even though I just told everyone I was easy.
Hopefully we can work out our differences in time for the Droids concert we’re attending in our imaginations after work. Kristen’s got a fresh bi-level haircut going. It’s gonna be huge. Vote below.

Lila Fowler all the way. I do love a fun bitch.
Gotta go with Winston. Nerds of a feather…
I always wanted to be friends with Lynne Henry or Regina Morrow, but of the list provided, I had to go with Winston.
Definitely Winston. He was such a sweetheart.
I have to go with Lila – totally Queen B to Jess’s Serena.
Penny Ayala, editrix of the hard-hitting student newspaper, always seemed like a pretty cool girl.
Regina Morrow
Regina Morrow. No competition.
I liked Regina too!!
I always wanted to be “friends” with Jeffrey French. He was so cute! (i like to imagine…)
didn’t know robin died. i remember the deaf girl with the overdose. how did robin die?
She did NOT die. In fact she was in the Sweet Confidential book. I guess the writer of this article isnt a hard core fan….one wouldn’t make that mistake. And I wanted to be friends with Cara Walker and Regina Morrow.
I always pictured *Nicholas* Morrow as being really gorgeous, although…what college student gets his kicks from hanging out with high school juniors all the time? Didn’t he have any of his own friends?
Robin williams did not die
REAL spoiler alery….Winston dies in the book. (and noone cares cause he turned into an assface)
I always related the most to Enid (probably because our names our somewhat similiar) and we were both huge geeks in high school.
Cara Walker
i hung out a lot with girls like lila, and then sometimes i hung out with girls like enid. i like them both alot.
