However, Fran once says jokingly that she became best friends with Val because the latter would make her look smarter. When she and Val disagree, Fran many times uses Val’s intelligence as an insult. Val will often briefly take offense, but charmingly admits that Fran is the more intelligent after calming down, which builds the friendship and camaraderie between the two.
Like Fran, Val initially has an unsuccessful love life, dating men occasionally but never settling down. At one point in time, she, Fran and Fran's sometime nemesis, C.C.
