Who should she be? For me, I think her personality and appearance seems closest to Tiffany Case from Diamonds Are Forever. You could theoretically just rename her to be that character without changing much about her, but I don't think she would've been the type to get mad at Bond for leaving her. She seems like the type of girl who'd just move on to the next guy she meets. It'd also be strange to bring back a character that appeared 26 years ago and isn't even that well-known to casual fans of the series.

I could easily see Tiffany Case marrying the wealthy Elliot Carver to enlist him and his vast resources in her scheme to recover the smuggled diamonds from the laser satellite. Teri Hatcher also reminds me of a brunette Jill St. John so I pick Tiffany for Mrs. Carver.

Another interesting option I've read for the Mrs. Carver character is Sylvia Trench.

If they were going to use an existing Bond girl instead of creating a new character, I'd say Tiffany has some of the qualities. She'd certainly be willing to marry for money and status, but as you say, doesn't seem the type to be that upset at a breakup. In fact, at the end she was more interested in the diamonds than a relationship with Bond.

Not many really fit the bill that well.

No, please don't compare Plenty O'Toole to Paris Carver. I liked Plenty, she was a hoot! She really didn't deserve her fate.

Besides, Bond had serious feelings about Paris. I was heartbroken when she died. I believe Bond was too.

Perhaps Tiffany would have married Elliot for his money, but Paris seems genuinely unhappy in their relationship. Elliot's more concerned with his work and ego. She's probably just a trophy wife to him. Tiffany would probably be cool with that as long as she still had access to his money.
