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

Karen in Chicago: Me and my fellow Chicagoan Obama are huge Entourage fans. What can we expect when it comes back?
Could Johnny Drama be starring in the new 90210? Entourage is now casting for a TV producer who had a major hit teen series in the ’90s and is trying to get Johnny Drama (Kevin Dillon) to appear in the remake.

Rachel in Denver, Colo.: Any scoop on the aftermath of Annie killing someone in the 90210 finale?
We asked Annie’s (Shenae Grimes) 90210 co-star Jessica Stroup that very question: “Of course it’s going to change Annie inevitably. She’s going to be a totally different character. I think next year is going to be amazing for her because she’s going to go through a lot of changes with this character and down some really, really dark roads. I hope, at least, that it affects every one of us. I know that it’s going to affect all the characters, but I hope it brings us back together at some point as a whole group.”

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

Question: I keep hearing that the new 90210 show-runner isn’t planning on having any more characters from the original show on the reboot. Does that go for Jennie Garth, too? I can understand why having an old-school character pop up randomly just to boost ratings could get lame after a while, but Kelly is so integrated at this point they’d need to explain her absence if they weren’t going to have her back. It seems crazy to send her packing. Jennie Garth is the best thing about the new show. Thanks!—Nic

Matt Roush: My understanding from my in-house 90210 expert (I’m going on record as a first-season dropout) is that Jennie Garth is staying put. As you said, Kelly’s integral to the remake’s premise. What I guess you’ll see less of are the stunt drop-bys, and that’s probably a wise choice.

Teen Dramas: The Evaluation Results

1 06 2009

A huge thanks to everyone who voted in my evaluations. Part of my love for teen dramas comes from interacting with other viewers, and this was a great way for me to learn more about you guys.  Hope you all appreciated it as well.

Now on to the results…

Your favorite teen drama characters are Brooke Davis (One Tree Hill) and Lucas Scott (One Tree Hill).  While Brooke won with more than 60 percent of the vote and runner-up Blair (Gossip Girl) only got 30, Lucas was closely trailed by Chuck (Gossip Girl) with a 5 percent margin.

It was One Tree Hill versus Gossip Girl again in favorite couple, as Leyton beat Chuck and Blair by just 3 votes!

90210 scored its first–albeit, negative–win with Annie  and Ethan ranking as worst characters.

Worst couple was a super-close race with Vanessa and Nate (Gossip Girl) tying with Brooke and Owen (One Tree Hill).  90210’s Annie and Ethan were only behind by 3 votes!

One Tree Hill’s Jamie Scott and Karen Roe earned 66 and 59 percent of the votes for favorite supporting character and favorite returning character, respectively. They also won by a large margin.

Peyton’s pregnancy and relationship with Lucas was voted best storyline but Blair and Chuck’s relationship wasn’t far behind.

The Nanny Carrie storyline on One Tree Hill earned more than half of the votes for worst storyline.

While Adrianna’s overdose on 90210 and the Gossip Girl finale tied for second place in best cliff-hanger, the top spot went to Peyton’s pregnancy health scare(s) on One Tree Hill.

And, in the biggest margin out of all the categories, One Tree Hill won as your favorite teen drama overall with a whopping 73 percent of the vote.

Here’s how the shows stacked up: One Tree Hill–10 wins; Gossip Girl–1; 90210–1.  As you can see, One Tree Hill totally dominated!

It will be interesting to see if this changes next year, considering all the changes planned for One Tree Hill.

Feel free to comment on the results!

Spoiler: Ask Ausiello

28 05 2009

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

Question: Any news on the CW drama Body Politic? Will it be picked up for mid-season? –Corinne
Ausiello: It won’t. But I keep hearing rumors that one of the show’s stars may find work on another high-profile CW drama. If it happens, and all of my sources insist it probably won’t, it would create quite the hububaloo.

Question: Why did The CW kill the Gossip Girl spin-off? –Tammy
Ausiello: I’m told the higher-ups never embraced the whole ’80s conceit. I’m also told the reason CW boss Dawn Ostroff stopped short of declaring the project dead last week was because there’s a chance it could be reconceived down the road.

****

Note: I think the first question is referring to whether Brian Austin Green (David, Beverly Hills 90210) will appear on the new 90210.

27 05 2009
  • Jennie Garth (Kelly, Beverly Hills 90210) told Access Hollywood that she suffers from a heart condition, but isn’t serious right now.  Garth has advocated for the American Heart Association in the past.
  • The One Tree Hill Season 6 DVD will be released on August 25.
  • Sophia Bush (Brooke, One Tree Hill) was one of the many stars at an anti-Prop 8 rally in Los Angeles last night.
  • The supposed Mark Schwahn (creator, One Tree Hill), James Lafferty (Nathan, One Tree Hill) and Bethany Joy Gaelotti (Haley, One Tree Hill) Twitter accounts are fake. The OTH Twitter Bugs site is providing a really great service!

90210: The Evaluation Results

24 05 2009

Thanks to everyone who voted in the polls.  If you read my reactions posts, you know where I stand on 90210 but I was curious to get all of your opinions as well, particularly because this was the show’s inaugural season.  And I have to admit, some of the results were surprising to me.

Most shocking? Liam won for favorite male character (with Navid one vote away!) but also came in second place for worst male (Ethan ranked first).  Not exactly sure how that happened–and not even sure why any of you like him to begin with!

Silver got your vote for favorite female, while worst female was a no-brainer: Annie!  Annie also got the (dis)honor of winning worst storyline for her performance in the season finale, as well as worst couple for her relationship with Ethan.

Adrianna came out on top in several categories.  Her relationship with Navid earned them favorite couple, as well as best storyline.  Additionally, Adrianna’s overdose early in the season was voted best cliffhanger.  Given these results, I was surprised she came in second for favorite female.

Kelly not only won favorite supporting character but beat out–with 71% of the vote!–Donna and Brenda, respectively, for favorite returning one.

As for rating the season/show overall, you guys gave it a 7.5 (since there was a tie for 7 and 8).

And much to my disappointment, you guys prefer 90210 to Beverly Hills 90210 54-46%.  Any particular reason why?

Come back tomorrow for the Gossip Girl results!

Tori Spelling on the new 90210

23 05 2009

“I knew that first and foremost they had to make it their own thing. It couldn’t be a remake, because people compare everything to the original. And they’re always going to find fault with new shows that are trying to recreate something that was very specific to its era. And, you know 90210 was the ‘90s. So I think it’s great when they pay homage to those fans…But I think truly to be a stand up show they needed to create their own characters and just have a time in a Beverly Hills setting. And I think they’ve done a nice job of really creating their own show.”
