This is a special day!
Wilds (Dixon, 90210) turns 20 today–and I turn 22!
Let’s celebrate with this Wilds tribute video.
Re-watched the One Tree Hill pilot today on SoapNet and several things struck me.
1. It’s interesting to see where Nathan and Peyton started. You see them now, it’s hard to believe they were ever together. Then again, in almost every teen drama pilot, the characters start off way different from where they end up.
2. Same goes with how they look. They’ve grown up so much. And same can be said for all teen drama actors.
3. James Lafferty in particular is so baby-faced. Probably because he was only 17 at the time! And Nathan has a nipple piercing–what ever happened to that?!
4. Peyton’s room was set up quite differently, with her closet being used for her computer area.
5. Great Dawson’s Creek shout-out when Haley says to Lucas: Not that I was looking for something specifically, which implies some hideous sort of “Joey loves Dawson ” scenario and completely creep me out.
6. Brooke (Sophia Bush) isn’t even in the pilot. Similar to Luke Perry (Dylan) not appearing in the first few episodes of Beverly Hills 90210.
7. Interesting to recall that Chad Michael Murray (Lucas) was on Dawson’s Creek before this. Doesn’t even seem like the same actor–I guess because the characters are so different.
8. Wish I had time to write up comments on each show now that the series is on from the beginning again. Of course I’ve already seen all the episodes multiple times, but it’s interesting to watch them again after just watching season six.
RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!
Dennis in Brooklyn, N.Y.: Now that Mercy begins shooting way earlier to fill in the gap left by Parenthood‘s move to midseason, what does this mean for Michelle Trachtenberg and her stint on Gossip Girl?
Our sources tell us that Michelle Trachtenberg won’t miss a beat of Gossip Girl. She’s doing everything she was expected to do as of last spring, and Georgina’s episodes are good! However, Kelly Rutherford will be missing three episodes for her maternity leave. Still, despite Lily’s absence, expect her love child Scott (Chris Riggi) to stay front and center this season. Are you excited for the biggest Humphrey-van der Woodsen crossover of them all, or are you withholding judgment on Scott until you get to know him better?
Paula in Columbia, S.C.: Any news on 90210?
Ooh, Silver is not going to like this one bit: Next season on 90210, Dixon flirts with another woman. Her name is Sasha, and she’s a professional DJ who is said to have a Rihanna vibe. In other 90210 news, Annie stays psycho for the time being. As Monty Burns from The Simpsons would say, “Excellent.”
Duffy in San Jose, Calif.: I heard one of my heroes is guest starring in the first episode of the new season of One Tree Hill. Do you have details?
Yes we do, Duffy! Former NFL superstar Jerry Rice guest stars on the first episode of One Tree Hill this fall. He makes an appearance at Nathan’s son’s birthday party. Sophia Bush tells us it was mayhem when Jerry came on set: “It was really funny to see every guy lose his mind. When he walked on set, camera equipment was getting dropped and people rushed in. The grips, who don’t care about anything were like, ‘Oh my God, Jerry Rice!’ People went nuts. And I was like, ‘This is man world. We’ve entered a man cave.’ ”
Jenna from Kent, Ohio: Do you know who is coming back for the seventh season of One Tree Hill?
As we all know, One Tree Hill has a revolving door of characters. The other day when we spoke with Ashley Rickards, she said it’s not a question of if her character Samantha Walker is returning, but when: “I think Sam has a really strong bond with Brooke, and I don’t see that just vanishing overnight.”
Gaby in Dodge City, Kan.: What can you tell us about the new season of Entourage?
Autumn Reeser is back on our TVs! Happy dance! (She and fellow O.C.er Rachel Bilson have now officially been gone too long.) Autumn plays an upcoming junior agent at Miller-Gold who is hooking up with Gary Cole‘s greasy character, Andrew Klein. Also, we would like to formally request that Autumn become a regular in season seven and/or get a successful show of her own so we can hang out with her more.
I’ve been inspired by my friend Christy-Anne, who runs OTH Twitter Bugs.
Each week, Christy-Anne hosts a One Tree Hill trivia competition via Twitter.
I’m going to do the same–but for each of the teen dramas.
One week it will all be about Beverly Hills 90210, the next Dawson’s Creek, etc.
We’ll start as soon as you guys reply in the comments that a) you’re interested in this and b) what your weeknight availability is.
I’ve already got HUNDREDS of questions ready to go. I’m so excited!
Two specials that Fox aired in 2004, The O.C.: Obsess Completely and Welcome to The O.C.: A Day in the Life, will air on SoapNet tomorrow at 3 and 4pm eastern.
The former will also air today, and the latter will also air Wednesday.
Enjoy!
While watching One Tree Hill reruns this week, I was reminded of a continuity error.
In season 5, Jamie’s birthday was at the end of April.
But we know from the season 4, that Jamie was born in June.
I hate mistakes/changes like this!
Beverly Hills 90210 had a similar error as well: Kelly’s birthday was in Spring according to season 3 but in season 6 her birthday was in the fall.
There used to be a site that listed nearly every continuity error from 90210. Every show has a ton but they always seem so careless and insulting.
Do these bother you, too?
SoapNet begins reairing One Tree Hill from the very first episode today.
Tune in at 11am eastern time and all Sundays from here on to see where it all started!
**The series will also start over on weekdays beginning July 13th and 14th.**
