On the latest episode of the new 90210 series entitled “The Bubble”, Brenda mentioned that the father of Kelly’s son is Dylan. Does this mean that Luke Perry will return to the show? Luke Perry has said over and over again in interviews that he will not be joining the cast of the new series. I personally figured that they’d leave Kelly’s baby-daddy’s name out of it until either Luke Perry or Jason Priestly decided to join up (come on guys there’s gotta be a sweet paycheck here.) There was some discussion that Ian Ziering’s character Steve could be the father, but that didn’t happen either.
Apparently Luke Perry is going to star in a new series, but not 90210. He’s going to be starring in some kind of Canadian holistic sci-fi show called Jeremiah. But, he also appears to be reconsidering, according to Us Magazine:
“(Luke) is in talks. The writers really want to do the Kelly-Brenda-Dylan plotline,” a source told the mag.”
Tori Spelling is also still looking to join the cast as she told OK! Magazine:
“Yeah, well see. I’m a big believer in what’s meant to be will be, so if it’s meant to be it will work out,” she says. “I watched it and I think it’s so cute. The new cast is so cute.”
I’m sure this information will leak at a crazy rate. It’s also possible that Dylan’s name didn’t even appear in the script until Luke Perry’s “people” gave 90210 producers the nod that he’d make some appearances.
And what’s this jazz about Naomi’s dad and his mistress and her moving into the beach house but that’s somehow over the line for Naomi’s mom? Here’s what I say: The “mistress” is Naomi’s real mom, and Naomi’s “current mom” was the mistress. Yeah I said it.
And next week Annie considers losing her virginity? Already? What a hussy! This is all starting to sound a little too familiar.
You know what else sounds too familiar? The fact that the actress (Shenae Grimes) who plays the main daughter role (similar to Shannen Doherty in the last 90210 series) is apparently a total nightmare on the set.
September 15, 2008 –
THERE’S a new bad girl on “90210,” and it’s not Brenda Walsh, played by Shannen Doherty, who ruled as the show’s queen of mean during its first incarnation. Doherty has since cleaned up her tough act, but the new CW show’s newbie, Shenae Grimes, who plays Annie Wilson, isn’t taking cues from her tamed-down predecessor. Show sources told Page Six that Grimes was “tormenting everyone on set” and “acts rude to the cast, crew and extras.” Our insider told us Grimes even once yelled at an unassuming guest star, “Who the hell are you?” and often spits out comments like “This is my show - everyone else is riding my coattails.” In fact, the original series’ divas are carrying the show. Ratings plummeted from 4.9 million viewers in the first week to 3.2 million in the second week when Doherty was absent from the episode. Reps for Doherty and Grimes had no comment.
No word yet on whether or not Shenae Grimes pulled a Doherty and crashed one of the show’s cars, but hey we’re just getting started.
Shannen Doherty explained why she is only staying on the show for four episodes.
“I think there’s such a thing as overstaying your welcome,” Doherty explains to Entertainment Tonight. “I don’t want to do that. I want fans to walk away with love in their hearts for Brenda.”
