It always seems like I'm one of the few people who actually liked Tori. If you went by sheer beauty, she fell far short of Kelly, but on the other hand I thought she had an edgy sexiness that the other girls on the show really didn't have, and she was still hot. Out of all the girls on the show, she was probably the one I most wanted to date. I thought she lost a step when they decided to make her into another one of Zack's fangirls.
I almost consider her episodes to be a part of some alternate universe version of SBTB. To my knowledge the only time any events in those episodes were ever again referenced was the masquerade ball mentioned once in The College Years, and poor Tori was just never mentioned at all. I think they acknowledged that Zack was present for the birth of Belding's baby, but the fact that Tori was there too seemed to be erased from reality.
