Don’t you just hate people like the 90210 characters who live in sunny, warm environs while your region is being ravaged by snowstorms and achy cold? I know I do, and the preview photos for the next episode of the show, January 13th’s “Love Me or Leave Me,” aren’t helping.
The CW subtitles this one Teens in Love, although a major plot thread focuses on the continuing tension between Debbie and Tabitha, especially after the latter gives her grandchildren a brand-new car as a surprise gift. Grandparents rock!
Elsewhere, Annie and Ethan hang out — alone — at Tabitha’s Palm …read more

Oops! My bad. I totally missed the images from last night’s 90210 episode “Hello, Goodbye, Amen” in my inbox. If you need a quick review of the so-so winter premiere, check out my thoughts here after checking out the following photos.
The best and most authentic thing about the entire episode, in my opinion, was once again Shannen Doherty’s engaging and completely believable performance as Brenda. The series just elevates to another level when she’s around, so showrunners definitely made a brilliant decision getting her onboard, despite her allegedly difficult past.
Now on to the photos after the …read more

Spoilers, Spoilers, Spoilers Ahead!
After watching last night’s “Hello, Goodbye, Amen” episode of 90210, I have to wonder if showrunners are serious about viewers believing Harry Wilson is intelligent enough to be the principal of an entire high school. If so, he’s got to be one of the dumbest administrators in the history of secondary education, too.
In short, here’s what happened on the episode, which takes place right after winter break at West Bev:
ANNIE
Suspicious Annie and her mother Debbie finally convince totally clueless Harry (He’s my son! I just know he is! I feel it in my gut!) …read more

Apparently, lately 90210 fans have been obsessing over which character will eventually emerge from the closet. I have no idea why people still find the sexuality issue such a big deal, but it clearly continues to occupy a lot of minds once it arises.
Over at TV Guide’s website, visitors were assuming the person is a guy. But now the site reports the show’s first — as far as I can remember — gay character is not only a woman, but actually bisexual. Who is she, you ask?

After last week’s drama-filled “Model Behavior,” 90210 has almost succeeded in getting me to stop making fun of the show and instead just enjoy the ride. This week’s “Hollywood Forever” helps a lot in that area because it has a couple of great developments that make for really good TV.
On the less interesting side, Annie and Ethan are teamed up as a couple in their health class to take care of a fake baby that cries if you ignore or mistreat it. The two learn as they work together that maybe there’s still …read more

The September 30 episode of 90210 is called “Model Behavior.”
The CW made sure to release the clip after the jump as soon as possible because it features new and old fan favorites Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth.
I’m more of a Shannen girl myself, and every time I watch her on-screen, all I can think is, “If only she were the star…” *sigh*
Sneak a peek at what’s coming up in the following clip. It’s the kind of intense, mature stuff I wish the series offered in greater quantities.

And the unlikely phenomenon that is 90210 continues on “Wide Awake and Dreaming”…
Silver, stage manager for the school musical, is so busy checking her blog during rehearsal and being rude to people when she’s not checking her blog that she insults the lighting-board guy badly enough to make him quit. Dixon to the rescue since he has the skills and the attraction to her.
Meanwhile, daddy catches horny Annie and Ty making out backstage and has a conniption fit, to his mother and wife’s great amusement. After Annie gets the so-called “after-school-special” SEX TALK …read more
