Stacey and Tami

From her first appearance in Time and Stace, Tami is established as Stacey's best friend, despite her recent relationship with Christopher. Although in the new timeline Tami is Stacey's first friend at Rosen, unlike her predecessor she never learns their secret.

It is also hinted early on that the real reason Christopher and Tami broke up was because the latter revealed herself to be a lesbian, having had a secret crush on Stacey since their first meeting, though Stacey remains unaware of this fact until the events of The Admirer. Revelation of the news creates a major setback in their friendship, though this is soon resolved after Christopher dumps Stacey over her perceived relationship with Timothy Grendall. In the end, Tami accepts that there can be nothing between them, and the two agree to remain best friends.
