As everyone knows,Mary is the first ever Lannie FOTM winner!
Congrats hun,you totally deserve it!
1. First off Mary, can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
Hi everyone! To those who don't know me yet - my name is Mary; I'm from Latvia, a small country in the Baltic region of Northern Europe, so excuse me for making mistakes, languages never were my strong side. I’m studying economy and management of business in the University, this time it will be the 3 year of my studying. I have 4 dogs - breed "Yorkshire terrier" and a cat!! Huge family in other words - 8 members! I love pop music and horror (as well as romantic) movies, so if you have any suggestions – welcome, I desperately need some help now. I like to learn languages (although sometimes it’s difficult for me to understand grammar since my birth language is Russian, and there are several differences). This year I’m planning to start learning Spanish, because it’s one of my favorites. Also am I huge fan of dances, used to dance since I was 4 and still have this desire, so such show as "Dancing with a star" is very familiar to me.
2. When did you start liking Lannie? Was there a special moment or episode?
I became a fan of this couple long time before I saw their general scene. This started from my obsession with Matt Lanter’s character Zack from the movie "The cutting edge 3", when I found out that the actor who played this role is going to take part in 90210 , I without any doubts typed "90210 episode one" in search field and watched it online . During first episode I was somehow trying to put Liam in couples with every girl in the cast, and you know … I made a conclusion that Annie suits the best for his girlfriend role. Annie looked so right and innocent in comparison with other ladies, she was exactly the same kind of girls I usually ship. And of course not the last role played my preferences, "good girl" + "bad boy" couple type is my cup of tea! I find such relationships interesting to watch and follow, how characters are trying to impose their positions to each other, influence one another, play cat-mouse games – all this stuff is my favorite about any couple in TV Show! I know, things changed this season, but still it was the main reason I became addicted to their couple. So actually I can say I became a fan of Lannie since I saw Annie!!
3.Did you, or do you, like Naomi and Liam?
I used to like them in 1 season; I can’t say I liked the idea of them as a couple – NO! But their one –side communication, way how Liam treated Naomi, her constant attempts to attract his attention in any way… all of these was interesting and funny to watch. Especially in the middle of first season, because I couldn’t find any other storylines I would be involved into, Ethan/Annie breaking up or bipolar Silver wasn’t exactly those storylines I was looking forward to see! But my interest to Liomi lasted until I saw Liam and Annie first meeting; their scene proved that I was right in my assumptions about them as a potential memorable and incredible couple!
4. Your favorite thing about Liam and Annie?
I adore their ability to bring stupid, itself appearing smile on my face every time I see them together. And I must say it’s very difficult to achieve it, not every couple I like/love is able to bring such a HUGE number of emotions as Lannie. They are the only couple on 90210 that make me feel reality, this means, when they are on a screen I may forget that I’m just watching another show that will end in 20 minutes, they totally make me feel those feelings their character are getting over. I also love their build up, how one by one their relationships are growing into something more than just a friendship, how they are achieving this understanding and forming a special connection. Should I even mention their incredible chemistry?!
5. What some songs that are perfect for Lannie?!
This list is long and almost every day I find new songs that totally display their history. For example:
The Veronicas – I can’t stay away
Liz Phair - Why Can't I?
LeAnn Rimes - Right Kind of Wrong , but I think their GOLDEN song is by David Archuleta - Crush!
6.Another couple that reminds you of them?
Hmm … Let me think. There are some couples I can compare them with, because they had similar situations, relationships, but Liam and Annie definitely are unique and there is no couple that reminds me of them. If I have to name similar couples it’s IMO Lucas/Peyton and Dan/Blair . I have seen only one season of BH90210 so I can’t really give objective estimation of them as another Brenda/Dylan , but a huge number of people say that Lannie reminds them of this couple , so I might agree with majority!
7. Favorite episode?
"2x19 – Multiple Choices" for sure. I think we can call it "Lannie episode"; it has put a basis to their romantic build up, it allowed us finally to see their true feelings for each other.
8. Favorite scene?
My favorite Lannie scene is "Lesson", both of them were so cute and funny there. How Annie agreed to go to prom with Charlie (is it his name?) just to trick Liam, and how he smiled her back, oww, this scene was ADORABLE!
9. Favorite quote?
L : "If you need me , you know where to find me"
A: "Basically, my theory is: you are not much of a man"
10. Best scene in each season?
Season 1: as I already said it’s "Lesson"
Season 2: difficult to say, there are several scenes I would put at same position, but let it be "Exam looks exchange"
11.A scene or storyline you would love for them to have?
Pretty much all of those that are mentioned in WISHLIST forum post! But I’ll try to name the most expecting. I would like to see Liam fighting with someone (Charlie) for Annie, confessing his feelings for her, maybe even some accident can happen to Annie and he will be trying to save her, also some kind of unexpected or "shut up" kiss. About storyline. We all know that most of the time when couple get together they become boring , so I think it will be a good decision to firstly keep them on a small distance from each other for a while (for example by adding 3 person (exactly what writers are doing ATM) , then they may have secret relationships) . I want them always to have feelings for each other and never doubt it, but at the same time deal with obstacles on their way to each other. My message means: They have to love each other ALWAYS and prove it during all series. That doesn’t mean I don’t want them to be together and be a stable couple – I do, they even can get over problems being a couple like Nathan and Haley – that would be my dream Lannie storyline.
12. This or that?
-Their eye sex or chemistry?-Chemistry
-Season 1 or 2?– Season 2, although I love in both seasons’ mainly last 5-6 episodes
-Liam or Annie?- Hard to choose, in season 1 – Liam, in season 2 – Annie, I love them equally
13. A message to the writers?
There are several things about 90210 I don’t like , first it’s the way how writers show plot development , it feels like they start a storyline and throw it halfway , every episode starts like the beginning of new story, there are no sequences and come backs to previous scenes at all . This should be improved in my opinion.
Also it sometimes irritates how main characters can fall in love in one episode (Dixon-Sasha…) and break up in another, it’s not serious and I think making things that rushed isn’t good for the show.
The most important part of my message is about Lannie – of course!!Writers, please, make Lannie a constant couple, there may be a hundred obstacles on their way, but, please, never let us doubt in their strong feelings for each other. No matter what happens, I wish them always have each other and be there for second half.
14. What Lannie storylines (from the spoilers) are you looking forward to seeing in Season 3?
I’m looking forward for Lannie first kiss and Liam/Annie/Charlie love triangle. I think it is going to bring a lot of pleasant moments to us, like: jealousy, loves confession, teasing and so on! I can’t wait to see what will be Liam’s reaction to Annie and Charlie match; I think Liam won’t let her go that easily; at least that’s what I expect!
15. IMPORTANT QUESTION: Are they your all time favorite couple (or OTP)?!
Very interesting and at the same time difficult question. I don’t think I can answer, because I don’t think I have or used to have my all time couple. There are thousands of movies and shows that have my OTP, they never compete with each other for first place in my list, because all of them are at one level, I may be just more obsessed with one than another! The only thing I’m sure about at the moment is that they are my current OTP obsession and I’m not as waiting to see other TV Show couples as I’m waiting for Lannie. They even beat my love to Damon/Elena and it means much, believe me!!
16. Who do you think should be the next Lannie Fan Of The Month?!
I don’t think I have rights to judge who is better or worse. In last month numbers of active fans have increased, it’s amazing for our spot. Each of them contributes much by leaving their comments, adding videos, pictures, articles.
Everyone deserves to win!
I’ll let this choice be a responsibility of the majority!
17. Any last words Mary?

I totally wish all Lannie fans to win next FOTM, you all are AMAZING guys and thanks for visiting our spot, because of you it totally changed and returned to live!
