Spoiler: Watch with Kristin

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

Maggie in Birmingham, Ala.: Can you shed any light on this hectic One Tree Hill situation?
Despite Chad Michael Murray‘s claim that, “They haven’t even called me up to say, ‘Hey we want you back…nothing,’ ” CMM’s people are in negotiations with the One Tree Hill studio. Sounds like we can all brace ourselves for a cliffhanger ending to season six.

Tamara in New York City: Gossip Girl fan here. I want Blair and Chuck scoop!
Tonight’s C-B kiss (yes, kiss!) on Gossip Girl is wildly hot and happens in the midst of a totally classic Bluck confrontation scene. You could even call it Blucking up against a wall! Truly, if your devotion to the Chair relationship includes any kind of tolerance for “angst,” this is the episode for you. As for you Chuck-Blair hard-liners (you want it and you want it now), the kiss is not the kind of loving reconciliation you’re hoping for. In fact, by the end of the episode, Blair and Nate’s new thing is well underway. Sad face.

Samantha in Pomona, Calif.: How about some scoop on Rufus and Lily for once!
Rufus and Lily are giving Gossip Girl a Lost-style TiVo moment. They decide to make lists of their past sexual assignations, and Lily’s list includes such rock star names as Slash and Trent Reznor. Save the screengrabs as a keepsake checklist for when the show-not-called-Lily premieres!

Mike: Any news on what’s up for Nate on Gossip Girl?
Nate’s the center of tonight’s episode, and hey, it turns out that he’s actually New York political royalty. And as Spider-Man and the Kennedys already know, with great power comes great responsibility but not enough time for loved ones. Will Nate’s family obligations mean the end of his love affair with V? Tune in tonight to find out!

Steve in Santa Monica, Calif.: What’s James Van Der Beek up to these days? I miss him on the small screen.
The former Dawson’s Creek hottie will appear on the April 6 episode of Medium as “a very strange” son of a mother who’s gone missing. We love it when Dawson goes dark. Did you see him in Criminal Minds a few years back? Creepy-sexy cool! (Added bonus for this episode, Amanda Detmer guest stars as Joe’s sister. Yay!) In other guest star news, Rumer Willis appears in the episode “The First Bite Is the Deepest.” What we love about that is that show runner Glenn Gordon Caron gets to work with the daughter of the star of one of his biggest shows, Bruce Willis (Moonlighting). Cool, huh?

News Roundup: One Tree Hill, 90210, Gossip Girl and More

23 03 2009
  • There’s a very bizarre video on YouTube where Chad Michael Murray (Lucas, One Tree Hill) says he’s not coming back next season–because the execs don’t want him to!  That seems very strange to me so I don’t know what to believe.  Apparently neither does E!Online.
  • There’s a Q & A with Austin Nichols (Julian, One Tree Hill) and some other new stuff posted on Southern Gothic Productions blog.
  • PEOPLE has a story on Tori Spelling (Donna, Beverly Hills 90210) celebrating her son’s second birthday.
  • Luke Perry (Dylan, Beverly Hills 90210) will appear in the same miniseries as James Van Der Beek (Dawson, Dawson’s Creek).
  • Jessica Lowndes (Adrianna, 90210) and Adam Gregory (Ty, 90210) are no longer together.
  • The New York Post has an article on all the real-life Gossip Girl hook-ups.
  • SoapNet is planning to air, in early April, what they think are the four best episodes of The O.C.  Right now they have the final sixteen on their Web site.

Site of the Week

23 03 2009

Dawson’s Creek ended nearly six years ago but its official Web site still exists.

DawsonsCreek.com has a lot of great features, including a detailed episode guide, lines to remember and media like screensavers,  audio interviews and clips.

Since the show doesn’t seem to be on the air anymore (if someone finds it, please let me know!) this is a great way to keep the memories alive.

YouTube Video of the Week

22 03 2009

If you just started watching One Tree Hill in season 5, you might’ve been a bit confused by the exchange between Dan and Deb in last week’s episode.

For the first time since Dan was released from prison, he and Deb confronted each other about their respective roles in Keith’s death.  To help this scene make sense to new viewers, watch the clips below.

Destruction of  a Man (ignore the last few slides)

Wrong Choice

Now rewatch that part of last week’s episode, and things should be clearer, especially since we’ll see this come up again this week.

Melrose Place and 90210

21 03 2009

Nearly every article about the Melrose Place remake mentions how 90210 was recently remade as well.  But the major fact these articles are overlooking is that the original Melrose Place was a spin-off to the original Beverly Hills, 90210.

Here’s what you need to know:

In April 1992, Beverly Hills, 90210 introduced a character by the name of Jake Hanson (Grant Show).  He appeared in two episodes as Dylan’s old friend and Kelly’s new love interest.

This was done to set up Melrose Place as a spin-off of Beverly Hills, 90210, much like we’ll see the beginning of the Gossip Girl spin-off on GG itself later this season.

In the first and second episodes of Melrose Place, which aired in the summer of ’92, Kelly (Jennie Garth), Donna (Tori Spelling), David (Brian Austin Green) and Steve (Ian Ziering) appear.  Kelly, David and Steve also appear in third episode, as well, which is where Jake breaks up with Kelly and all ties to Beverly Hills, 90210 are cut.

This new Melrose Place is a remake, just like 90210 is of its original.  But this time, there isn’t any cross-over link between the two shows.

On my old site from long ago, we again combined 90210 and Melrose Place into a fan fic series.

For a good source on the Melrose remake, check out this site.

News Roundup: Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, The O.C. and More

20 03 2009
  • This could make teen drama cross-over history!  Apparently Josh Schwartz is thinking about including an ’80s era Kirsten and Jimmy from The O.C. on the Gossip Girl spin-off as friends of Lily.
  • Korbi at Zap2it has a preview clip of Monday’s Gossip Girl.
  • Tons of fans showed up where One Tree Hill is filming, presumably, Lucas and Peyton’s wedding.
  • President Obama briefly mentioned Gossip Girl in a recent Town Hall session.
  • Austin Nicholas (Julian, One Tree Hill) reads from The Fountainhead, one of his favorite books, in a video on the Southern Gothic Productions blog.
  • Joshua Jackson (Pacey, Dawson’s Creek) says being on the show didn’t leave him time to “grow up.”
  • Tristan Wilds (Dixon, 90210) will star in a movie about an all-black unit of the army serving in World War II.
  • Finally watched the Beverly Hills, 90210 reunion that aired on BIO in February.  Turns out, it WAS the same special that aired in 2003.  Despite the description saying it would include Tori Spelling and Brian Austin Green, it didn’t as they weren’t in it then and obviously aren’t in it now.  A bit disappointing, but still fun to watch it again and relive the memories!

What year is it on One Tree Hill?

19 03 2009

If you say 2009, you’d be wrong.

Now we know I’m not very good at math, but hear me out.

The show began in 2003.

The gang graduated high school in 2007.

The show then jumped forward four years, making it 2011.

Now it’s one year later.

So what we’re really seeing, folks, is One Tree Hill in the year 2012.

Crazy, right?

****************************************

UPDATE

Your comments got me thinking.  I totally overlooked that junior and senior year of high school were two seasons and two years for us but technically only one year each in Tree Hill.

So a revised Tree Hill timeline would look like this:

2003: Junior Year (Seasons 1 and 2)

2004: Senior Year (Seasons 3 and 4)

2008: College Graduation (not seen)

Now did the show pick up again for season 5 after graduation and therefore still in 2008?  And now it’s a year later, so it’s season 6 and 2009.  That would mean Tree Hill is right in the same time we are.

OR, is season 5 supposed to be a year after college, 2009, and now another year later means we’re in 2010?

You guys seem to think it’s 2010.  But maybe Mark Schwahn really thought it all out and it’s supposed to be the 2009 timeline so everything would still coincide.

Thoughts?
