With the coronavirus outbreak spreading a lot of fear and panic, many people have turned to their favorite childhood shows on Disney+ and Netflix in order to tune out the current negativity of the world. Just last week, we saw Miley Cyrus and Emily Osment give us a much-needed "Hannah Montana" reunion in the midst of our quarantine woes. And now, the "Victorious" cast came together for their own virtual reunion to honor the tenth anniversary of the iconic show.
So, to honor this apparent reunion season, and in an effort to try to spread some laughter and smiles during this scary time, I decided to show you all how I believe the crazy and hilarious main characters from "Victorious" would be reacting to the coronavirus and quarantine.
*Disclaimer: This pandemic should be taken very seriously. This article is written to try to spread some smiles and laughter just like the show did for many years. Please enjoy lightheartedly.*
1. Tori Vega
GiphyAh, the star of the show, who also happened to appear stressed 97% of the time. We all loved Tori, and performing on stage was definitely something that came naturally to her, but anything else really seemed to stress her out. Needless to say, she would definitely be stressing about the coronavirus right about now and over-reading all the news (real and fake) being blasted on social media.
2. Cat Valentine
GiphyCat, the sweetest of them all, would probably be handling the news like the rest of us - by self-quarantining with YouTube, online shopping, and snacks. Although Cat is a social butterfly, I think she would be perfectly happy chilling at home while watching cute animal videos, ordering some cool stuff from "Sky Store," and eating some Bibble... or A LOT of Bibble. She may stay safe from the coronavirus, but her Bibble addiction will definitely resurface.
3. Trina Vega
GiphyYeah, let's be honest, Trina would definitely be the one to make it all about her. She'd either be the one who totally ignored all the guidelines and went out to party anyway, or she'd be like the girl who participated in the "coronavirus challenge" because - as the girl told Dr. Phil - "I was, like, really annoyed that corona was getting more publicity than me." Long story short, do not be how Trina Vega would probably be during this corona-crisis. She would not handle it well, at all.
4. Jade West
There's no doubt Jade would be missing Beck BIG TIME during quarantine, but I also believe she'd be the one literally screaming at everyone to get inside and stay home. Why? Because the more people stay inside, the quicker this goes away, and the sooner she can be with Beck again.
And to the pass the time while being stuck inside, I'm sure we could all catch her live-streaming some creepy videos or bad Tori impressions on The Slap.
5. Andre Harris
GiphyAndre would be the guy live-streaming some great music sessions. He'd probably dual live-stream with Tori so they could sing some iconic duets in lieu of all the performances at school they're missing out on now.
6. Beck Oliver
GiphyHow would Beck react to this? Yeah, with a shoulder shrug. Out of the entire ragtag group, Beck would probably be the least worried and be freaking out the least. He'd just stay in his RV in his parents' driveway, feed his fish, and video chat Jade while she yelled at everyone outside for not staying home. He'd accept the situation as it is and do as he's told, because while he is rebellious, he's also the peacemaker of the bunch and isn't about to cause trouble where it's not necessary. He's also probably the smartest and knows staying home is the best move.
7. Robbie Shapiro
GiphyRobbie would be the one to freak out the most about the coronavirus and going into quarantine. While Tori might be stressed, Robbie would just shut down. Definitely not the way to go - calm and collected is a much better move - but Robbie would probably start panicking while the rest of the group video chats him and tries to calm him down about the whole situation.
BONUS: Andre's Grandma
GiphyHow could I not include Andre's grandma when she is literally the epitome of all toilet paper hoarders? She would definitely be panicking, calling Andre a hundred times from the living room to ask him if they had enough toilet paper. She'd also, somehow, manage to figure out the Internet to see all the nerve-wracking headlines and panic even more. Andre will have to "Oops, break the Internet" again, or else he's going to go crazy in quarantine!
Overall, Tori, Cat, Trina, Jade, Andre, Beck, Robbie, and Andre's grandma would react to the coronavirus in their own different ways, some good and some not so good. But in all seriousness, it's important to remain calm and collected during this time. To stay focused on positivity and the light at the end of the tunnel. If you want a good laugh and smile, watch an episode of "Victorious" on Netflix this week to try and relax.
But stay at home, so that the virus can stop spreading, the panic can diffuse, and everyone can return to their normal lives as soon as possible. We must stick together and do this if it's going to work, though! Be like all of our favorite childhood celebrities who are turning to Instagram and Zoom to connect with each other during these socially distant times!
