90210 is back tonight from its winter hiatus.

We’re curious to see how the Kelly-Ryan-Brenda saga plays out–particularly because Shannen Doherty said in a lot interviews that she didn’t want to do the whole love triangle route again.

At least Dylan isn’t involved.  Don’t think I could handle that.

RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

Gretchen in Litchfield, Conn.: Did you hear? Your frenemy Ausiello says they are going to bring that be-yotch Georgina back to Gossip Girl!
Shut the front door! Back in early December, I also reported plans to bring back Georgina toward the end of this season, and FYI, that’s what I’m still hearing—and not just from my sworn frenemy. I still think she’s the most solid candidate for the spinoff, BTW. But you didn’t hear that from me!

Gregory in Overland Park, Kan.: Any word on Gossip Girl?
Lily gets attacked—by someone she knows. Guesses? Also, Bart’s will will be read and stir up trouble.

Randall in Tucson, Ariz.: How about some dish on One Tree Hill! Give it up, sister!
Yes, brotha. According to sources, Brooke and Julian go on a date. Also, Millicent tells Brooke she slept with Owen.





Monday Night Reaction

5 01 2009

GOSSIP GIRL

  • Since when do they themselves post on Gossip Girl?  I thought the whole point of her blog was that SHE posts!
  • Creative to not introduce Uncle Jack in the typical way.  Felt slighted, though, like something was missing.
  • Fair to assume Jack and Blair had a New Year’s Eve fling?
  • Serena and Dan were surprisingly cute…but it won’t last, I can promise you that. Why tease viewers? Because putting couples together and tearing them apart again is a teen drama staple.
  • So the secret lovechild is a boy, as many people were guessing.

ONE TREE HILL

  • If it’s late in LA when Peyton calls Lucas, how late is it in Tree Hill?  North Carolina is in an earlier time zone!
  • She’s preggers.  Duh.  I love how excited and cute they were!
  • Haley wants dibs on godmother…and yet she made Brooke Jamie’s.  Fair?  I don’t think so.
  • Jack’s brother is ridiculously creepy.
  • Victoria could still be behind the mugging, right?  At least the sketch-stealing part.  She could’ve hired Jack’s creepy brother.
  • Never saw it coming that that was Julian’s dad.
  • Andre and Julian are adorable.  And tragic.
  • His question (is Julian really just after Peyton) is my question, too!
  • Number 12 is just as good as 23…I guess.
  • Yay Chase!  No Chase and Mia!
  • Could do without the Mouth and Millicent storyline.
  • Why did they never show Owen’s SlamBall injury?
  • Sophia Bush was super-impressive tonight.  I was just blown away and I really like the way the story unfolded, particularly the ending.

RANDOM

  • Surprisingly, there weren’t too many 90210 promos.  I only counted two.
  • One Tree Hill wins the promo war for next week (aka got me more excited than Gossip Girl).  Agree?




Meet Uncle Jack Bass!

As if you needed another reason to watch Gossip Girl tonight (8/7c on The CW or your local affiliate), this is the first time we’ll meet Jack Bass, Bart’s brother and Chuck’s uncle.

Jack (played by Demond Harrington) comes to the Upper East Side to help locate Chuck who’s been MIA since his father’s funeral.





Site of the Week: One Tree Hill Blog

5 01 2009

One Tree Hill Blog is just a year old but has quickly become a favorite of mine.

Run by two sisters, the site compiles all the One Tree Hill press, spoilers and related info into one site.  They have so much quality (and sometimes rare!) information, from where they’re filming and when, to the ratings of each episode.

My favorite time to visit the site is late Monday nights.  The site live blogs during each new episode, and then posts an entertaining reaction and comprehensive list of music featured and other cool info.  Plus, you can check out their sister site, OTH Blog Chat, to chat with other fans (and sometimes stars like Joe Manganiello who plays Owen!) as the show airs.

Also be sure to check out their OTH History Spreadsheet which is the best resource I’ve seen to track all the relationships on the show.

Spoiler: Gossip Girl Casting News

4 01 2009

The bitch is back.  And seeing as Blair never left, I can only be talking about Georgina.

As I first reported in early December on TeenDramaWhore’s sister site, Sizzle, Michelle Trachtenberg will be returning to Gossip Girl sometime later in the season.

Spoiler TV seems to be disputing claims that she’ll be Lilly and Rufus’ secret love child. And though they have what we can only assume is super-spoilish info, they’re not sharing…yet.

In the meantime, you can rewatch the now-class Blair Takes Down Georgina scene from season 1.  Don’t you just love when it’s bitch against bitch!
