Tiffani Thiessen was engaged to Richard Ruccolo

Tiffani was on about eight episodes of the show. Richard Ruccolo was a lead.

WTF???

This news story is from 2001.

This might be the funniest and most meaningless DL thread ever.

OP that was 20 years ago. Move on.

She was hot. He was hot. They were together for years.

For a second, I thought the title read "Tiffani Thiesen was engaged to Richard Ramirez."

LMAO.

BuffaloNews from 2001!

I know it is old, old news. I just did not know till recently.

R4 - She was hot. Slightly overweight, but hot. Richard, not so much.

this is really very funny to me.

[Quote] She was hot. Slightly overweight,

No she wasn't.

Fucking fat facer.

R13 calm your tits, Jennie.

R14=stupid Brit poofter

Man did she trade down. Brady Smith is gorgeous.

I loved him in All Over The Guy. He was so hot in that. Although can't stand Dan Bucatinsky.

R16, I think you mean traded up if you're saying the current husband is gorgeous

My bad. I misread the headline.

She definitively traded up.

She was awarded Nathan Fillion in the separation.

Nathan and Tiffani have aged very nicely,

And the woman on the left is Chef Curtis Stones' wife

I hope she can handle Curtis’ stinky turds.

I'm glad you survived the coma, OP.

Say what, R24? What are you talking about?

R23 - Name?

For r26.

R27, she used to be an actress in a similar vein as Thiessen - teen sitcoms 80s/90s. Lindsay Price.

Ewww, R29.

R23 she was on 90210 as Steve's girlfriend.

R31 - Thanks.

Also from that era, Tiffani talking with Conan.

WHET to Richard Rucculo? No imdb credit since 2016. Couldn't he at least be making those crappy Hallmark Christmas movies?

[quote] Couldn't he at least be making those crappy Hallmark Christmas movies?

I think they only hire young, hunky, nobody Canadian actors for that crap.

I hope he treated her better than BAG did.

I wonder why they broke up.

I remember when she and Brian Austin Green were a couple in the mid-'90s and had two golden retrievers named Bonnie & Clyde.

I thought this was another dead thread out of the deep DL past. That said, I always thought Rucculo was better looking than his much more famous co-star.

R38 who got to keep them??

R39- Really? I thought he was funny looking.

Ruccolo won me over in an episode of 'Two Guys and a Girl" where he sings "Under the Boardwalk". Great voice and funny? I forgot all about Ryan Reynolds.

Frankly, I prefer the original title TWO GUYS, A GIRL, AND A PIZZA PLACE.

R40 I don't know. I just remember an article about their relationship in either People or Entertainment Weekly circa 1996 where they mentioned their pets. I didn't follow either, but I had a subscription to both magazines.

Tiffani seems like a genuinely nice person. Apparently, the rest of the women on 90210 were all bitches to her. She and Garth only became friends after the show was over. She was even there to record the birth of Garth's child. Garth eventually acted like a bitch to her and the friendship was over.

[quote] Apparently, the rest of the women on 90210 were all bitches to her.

Shannon Doherty is a bitch to everyone

Tori's resentment probably comes from jealousy 'cause....ya know. The mirror was never kind.

Jennie - probably being on the show for so long, there's always resentment towards new cast members.

Shannon was not on the show at the time. According to Tiffani, all the women on the shows were bitches. And yes, in Tori's case, the mirror has one face. And it's not pretty.

Shannon wasn't on the show? I know I stopped watching a few years in. I didn't realize she left the show. I just assumed she was there when TT said "bitches" - Shannon always comes to mind.

Tiffani's character was meant to replace Shannon's.

Shannen.

Tiffani replaced Shannon in the fifth season.

I preferred Valerie. Never really warmed up to Brenda, but Shannen was (shockingly) great at playing a bitch.

90210 debuted in 1990, when I was 10, and I have fond memories of watching the first three seasons with my older sister and her friends, until they graduated in 1993, the same year the characters did. Coincidentally, the SAVED BY THE BELL cast also graduated in '93. That was my favorite show at the time. Needless to say, Brandon Walsh and Zack Morris were my middle school crushes! I SO hated Kelly Kapowski! LOL

Shannen (which always autocorrects to Shannon btw) obviously has had trouble getting along with a lot of people, but she also seems to have a lot of life long “real” friends. I’m not so sure Jennie does.

Shannen may fall more into the category of “very strong personality” while Jennie is more garden variety “catty bitch.” Just putting that possibility out there.

R54, according to someone on here, they have worked with both Shannen and Alyssa Milano. Shannen was headstrong and firm but not really mean. Alyssa is the bitch apparently.

Does anyone remember there was an "I Hate Brenda" movement at the time? I've often wondered what she thought of all that?

R56 I thought Shannen hated Brenda too.

Tiffani as Val was a breath of fresh air for the original 90210.

R57 But people conflated Shannen and the 'Brenda' character and hated her, too.

R59 oh that still happens now unfortunately.

R60 Yes, but there seemed to be a strong anti-Brenda/Shannen sentiment, circa 1993. It wasn't just the character; the many reports of Shannens on set/off set shenanigans were all over the tabloids and fueled the hatred. Nowadays, due to our current society, I look back and wonder how she coped, but back then it just seemed par for the course for celebrities (i.e., if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen).

Jennie Garth strikes me as not the brightest bulb,

R62 she can't be worse than Tori.

R63- low bar.

Peter Scolari was in a similar situation of being in the shadow of a costar who catapulted to super stardom; yet he has a decent career as a character actor post Bosom Buddies. Where did Richard go wrong? Was he known for being difficult? Why can’t Nathan Fillion get him a guest role on his cop show?

TAT had a fat face but she had a nice rack.

R66 implants I think. She was flat on Saved by the Bell.

I can imagine how this convo went: if you’re gonna be a heifer, you better at least have a nice fucking rack!

She gained a good deal of weight between SBTB and 90210.

R68 Mark-Paul Gosselaar, too. He was a bit chunky during SBTB: The College Years.

R65 Richard who?

Richard CARPENTER, Rose.

They both fillled out then, R69

R64 lol fair point.

R66 Tiffani's implants suit her. She doesn't look ridiculous compared to some of the others who look out of proportion with the rest of their body.

[quote]Mark-Paul Gosselaar, too. He was a bit chunky during SBTB: The College Years.

He gained weight because he was going to go to college and hoped to play football, but then The College Years was picked up and he gave up his education.

I am not sure they are implants. She seemed to get bigger all over.

R75 boobs don't get [bold] that [/bold] big even with weight gain.

OP is her drunk Troll Ex!!!! Bitter much? Sweetie, move on!!!!

Who? and Who?

R78 - Tiffani is still working.

Hubby bearded Brady Smith is one hot daddy

Lose the women and this could have been an amazing show!

In the late '90s there was a slew of shows based in Boston: Two Guys and a Girl, Ally McBeal, Boston Common, The Practice, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Townies.

Reynolds and Fillion should have kissed.

From a Halloween episode brain swap episode (2:11 mark)

Once I heard Ryan Reynolds was sleeping with ABC Exec & later President, Jamie Tarses, I knew his career would be just fine but he also had been working since he was a child pretty steadily.

Richard Ruccolo's character was much more of the straight man. I remember him having his banging body back then but the show never really let him show it. Kinda' sad he fell off the face of the earth.

Traylor Howard had a good run moving on to Monk for a few years but even she is done now.

Suzanne Cryer was on Silicon Valley.

Yeah, they got rid of three characters from Season 1 and retooled the show with Suzanne Cryer and Nathan Fillion in Season 2 as add-ons of the "two guys and a girl."

I liked Suzanne's character as a foil for Ryan Reynolds' character.

Suzanne Cryer's long distance boyfriend was played by Jon Cryer on the show but the two are not related.

[Quote] Once I heard Ryan Reynolds was sleeping with ABC Exec & later President, Jamie Tarses, I knew his career would be just fine but he also had been working since he was a child pretty steadily.

Naturally I googled to check if Jamie was a boy or girl.

R86- The retooling worked.
