Bonjour les amies! We may be stuck in Ireland but Jessica and Elizabeth are off to France on a spring break student exchange, where they stay with the worst host family ever - Avery Glize, who is nice but basically leaves the twins to their own devices, and her sultry yet surly son René, who hates the beach (gasp!) and is so rude we find ourselves defending the Wakefield twins. What is the reason for his terrible behaviour? Join us as we head to Cannes (if only!) to eat pain au chocolat and hang out in French pharmacies, as Liz befriends a glamorous old lady, Jessica does yet another twin switch, and Rene rants obnoxiously about Americans while wearing tight jeans (ooh la la). Meanwhile, back in Sweet Valley, Steven is being a massive creep YET AGAIN for reasons it would be a crime to spoil here. Allons-y! This show is part of the HeadStuff Podcast Network.

It's election season in Sweet Valley, but the real battle is taking place between Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield. Liz wants her parents to get back together, but Jess wants to fix Ned and Alice up with new love interests - and we get very excited by one of her selections! As well as lots of twin scheming, we've got an OTG political advisor, a very awkward dinner and a digression about Anna's neighbourhood cats. This show is part of the HeadStuff Podcast Network.

Surprise surprise, it's still mostly Ned! But poor old Liz is convinced that she's responsible for the fall of the Casa del Wakefield, and the guilt has sent her into a quite a state. Having lost her faith in love, she's ignoring Enid's sensible advice, pushing away Todd, going on dates with boys she doesn't like - and worst of all, she's even letting down Mr Collins (he's back!). Meanwhile Jessica, who doesn't care about the implosion of her family at all, finally meets the mysterious Charlie - but is he the real deal?  All this and a fancy dress party with some incredible ensembles!

Ugh, Ned Wakefield. He's having a midlife crisis and he's taking it out on poor old Alice, who is under pressure at work -  her firm are hoping to get the job of designing the new wing of the Sweet Valley Mall. Cover it in Spanish tiles, Alice! When Ned defends the Wakefields' friend, mayoral candidate Peter Santelli, on a corruption charge, tensions rise in the Casa del Wakefield. Elizabeth is stressed out but Jessica, of course, doesn't care. In fact, Jess says and does such ridiculously stupid things that frankly we're getting worried about her. Though not too worried, because she's still a sociopathic monster. All this plus some equestrian chat and an honest to god cliffhanger! This show is part of the HeadStuff Podcast Network.

This may be one of the most entertainingly ridiculous Sweet Valley storylines yet - and you know we don't say that lightly. Steven becomes obsessed with both hang gliding and Tricia-lookalike Andrea of Unique Boutique, and if he'd ended up kidnapping Andrea a la Carl the orlderly we wouldn't have been surprised. Seriously, he needs therapy and poor Cara deserves so much better! Meanwhile Jess has her sights set on a boy with principles, and all is not well with Ned and Alice. Uh oh. It's another long episode, but there was a LOT to talk about!

Watch out Sweet Valley! There's a new Liz Wakefield in town  - and she's got a surfboard. Yes, not content with her daring new non-permanent perm, Liz's determination to prove that she's not boring leads her to start secret surfing lessons. Her teenage teacher Sean wants Liz to win a surfing competition in order to win a bet - but his interest in Liz soon becomes more personal (and yes, he's yet another boy who doesn't take no for an answer). But  when Todd doubts Liz's frankly unconvincing cover story, she starts wondering if her campaign to show her adventurous side is worth it (spoiler: no).   Meanwhile Jessica embarks on a new campaign of "boutique terrorism" (surely the title of the debut Droids album) to get revenge on Caroline Pearce - who comes with a little revenge plan of her own. Also, we have a very special announcement - are you ready to join Pi Beta Alpha? This show is part of the HeadStuff Podcast Network.

It's Christmas! And because time has no meaning in 2020, we're celebrating with the super thriller Deadly Summer - and we were NOT prepared for how dramatic this amazing book is. It's right up there with Murder in Paradise, and we don't say that lightly. The twins are interning at the Sweet Valley News when a dangerous bombmaker escapes from a local psychiatric hospital, seeking revenge on Sweet Valley High. it would be a crime to spoil all the details, but let's just say that at one stage Liz can't tell Jeffrey something important because of her obligations to a ghost. Plus the return of both the jingle bells and a very special character!

We've been waiting a long time for this glorious day and we weren't disappointed. At last, it's time to meet Daniella Fromage and Magenta Galaxy! Yes, Jessica has finally run out of boys at Sweet Valley High and has decided to expand her horizons by signing up to a computer dating agency and adopting two very different personas. Having borrowed some of the best outfits ever seen in Sweet Valley from Dana and some very Lucille Bluth ensembles from Suzanne, she starts dating alleged sophisticate Pierre and "goodlooking hard rocker" Brett - but no one is quite what they seem in this gloriously preposterous classic. Meanwhile Liz rightly realises she's pretty dull and decides to adopt a new look of her own - non-permanent perm, anyone? All this and a Prince Albert cameo.

Patty Gilbert's looking forward to seeing her boyfriend Jim for the first time in weeks - but when Patty's sister Jana returns home with the news that she's getting married in, like, five minutes, Patty's attempt to balance family obligations and romance leads to some typical Sweet Valley contrived drama. Luckily sensible khaki-clad Liz is there to provide sage advice. Meanwhile Jessica literally loses her mind in her latest unsettling attempt to snag a grown man when she takes the credit for DeeDee Gordon's fugly painted tee-shirts, and yet again there's no sign of our favourite Robert Redford lookalike. Bah!
