It may be a new year, but it’s the same old TeenDramaWhore — and hopefully you’ll agree that’s a good thing!
As 2024 unfolds, you can expect “Teen Drama Links” every Tuesday, a monthly Monday post, and some guest posts sprinkled in. Teen Drama Trivia will take place in April and October, and perhaps there will be another special event or two.
But I do have a burning question: What would you like to see this year?
Drop a comment below or shoot me an email with your ideas, suggestions, and preferences. I always love hearing from fellow TeenDramaWhores!
In late December, I had the opportunity to write a new article for CordCutting.com and contribute to two others.
Teen Drama Links for January 2, 2024
Listicle Links
Reminder: All lists and articles relate to the teen dramas or teen drama stars in some way.
“7 Actors Whose Real Tattoos Were Written Into The Script Vs. 8 Who Had To Hide Them For A Role” (BuzzFeed)
Including this just to point out it’s factually wrong on multiple levels: “Why ‘Beverly Hills, 90210’s Most Controversial Episode Is No Longer Streaming.” (Collider)
“The Next 50 Years” is not the show’s “most controversial episode,” its subject matter is not why it isn’t on streaming, and it is not the only episode unavailable to stream. Totally false articles like this really piss me off.
