- Last night’s 90210 (1.5 million viewers) dropped quite a bit in the ratings compared to last week, hitting a new season- and series-low. If you recall, two weeks ago was a season/series-low of 1.7 and now the show has sunk even lower.
- Love TVGuideMagazine.com’s recap/pop quiz about last night’s 90210. It’s quite funny and quite accurate, IMO.
- About.com has an interview with Tristan Wilds (Dixon, 90210).
- The Wild Girl, starring Brian Austin Green (David, Beverly Hills 90210) will premiere on the Hallmark Channel April 24. They also reiterate that Shannen Doherty (Brenda, Beverly Hills 90210) will be in one of their movies later this year.
- At work today, Gossip Cop and I busted a story about Doherty supposedly feuding with her Dancing With The Stars co-star Kate Gosselin.
- Douglas Emerson (Scott, Beverly Hills 90210) is included in TVGuide.com’s photogallery of ’90s Stars We Want Back on TV.
- Trevor Donovan (Teddy, 90210) and Jessica Szohr (Vanessa, Gossip Girl) are part of the new Op campaign. They previously featured AnnaLynne McCord (Naomi, 90210) and Sophia Bush (Brooke, One Tree Hill).
- The Austin Post-Bulletin has a surprisingly well-written piece by a male teenager explaining his love of Gossip Girl.
- The Jewish Journal has an interesting feature on Bryan Greenberg (Jake, One Tree Hill).
- Melinda Clarke (Julie, The O.C.) makes her first appearance on The Vampire Diaries tomorrow night.

News Roundup: Gossip Girl, The O.C., One Tree Hill and More
23 03 2010- Be sure to check out The CW’s site for all the new video content this week.
- Last night’s Gossip Girl (1.9 million viewers rounded up) rose a bit in the ratings compared to last week.

- The Wrap has an interview with Schwartz and Savage about their partnership. Among the highlights: an interesting question about the Gossip Girl spin-off and a reference to Aaron Spelling (executive producer, Beverly Hills 90210) and E. Duke Vincent (executive producer, Beverly Hills 90210).
- Chace Crawford (Nate, Gossip Girl), Sebastian Stan (Carter, Gossip Girl), Michael Cassidy (Zach, The O.C.) and whoever else was in the running for Captain America have not gotten the part. Chris Evans was offered and has accepted the role. Some six degrees: Evans is the brother of Scott Evans, who has been playing the love interest of Brett Claywell (Tim, One Tree Hill) on One Life to Live.
- Queer Sighted has an interview with Claywell about his storyline with Evans on OLTL and their firing.
- Zap2it has a recap and video of Shannen Doherty (Brenda, Beverly Hills 90210) on Dancing With The Stars last night.

Fun Fact
19 03 2010Since the first teen drama debuted in 1990, there’s only been one period of time without an active teen drama.
Active refers to: is the show current? It can be on hiatus. It just can’t be canceled.
In 1990, Beverly Hills 90210 debuted.
In 1998, while it was still on the air, Dawson’s Creek premiered.
But when Dawson’s Creek ended in spring of 2003, BH90210 had ended three years prior and there wasn’t any other teen drama on television.
Until…
A few months later The O.C. started in the late summer and very shortly after that, One Tree Hill began.
The O.C. ended in 2007 but, as we very well know, One Tree Hill has been active all this time.
And if this turns out to be the last season of OTH, there’s Gossip Girl (started in 2007) and 90210 (2008).
Will there be another period when there’s no teen drama left on the air? I hope not but time will tell!

16 03 2010- Last night’s Gossip Girl (1.7 million viewers) stayed the same in the ratings compared to last week, making that two weeks in a row with a record-low. Meanwhile, Life Unexpected had a nice increase in ratings, which The CW (rightfully) bragged about in a press release, while also spinning GG’s numbers.

- Crushable.com has a post highlighting “5 Dudes Who Are Way Too Old To Be Playing Teenagers on TV,” including Trevor Donovan (Teddy, 90210) and making references to Steger and Andrea (Gabrielle Carteris, Beverly Hills 90210).

- Clips from One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl and The O.C. can be seen in the background of this performance by Stuckey and Murray. The “comedy music duo” are parodying the music and montages that play at the end of TV dramas. It’s pretty awesome.

Spoiler: Ask Ausiello
11 03 2010RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!
Question: Is Gossip Girl ever going to revisit Blair’s eating disorder? —Lauren
Ausiello: Yes, but if you blink you’ll likely miss it. Exec producer Stephanie Savage tells me that there’s a “moment” coming up that touches on B’s struggle with bulimia. “It’s very subtle,” she quickly adds. “But for people who are looking for it, they will find it.”
Question: What can you tell me about the Carter’s return on Gossip Girl? —Lucia
Ausiello: It’s tied to the arrival of Serena’s father (Billy Baldwin).
Question: Anything on Entourage? —Jimmy
Ausiello: Autumn Reeser’s returning! The O.C. triple threat (gorgeous, talented, loves me) just signed on to reprise her role as junior agent Lizzie Grant for a handful of episodes in season 7. And next week she starts work on the Greg Berlanti-produced ABC pilot No Ordinary Family. Someone’s in demand!
Question: I know you hate One Tree Hill, but do you have any scoop on what’s coming up. —Jessica
Ausiello: The season finale is currently being shot on location in Utah. And if you have to ask why, you obviously haven’t been watching this season. In related news, can someone please tell me why they’re shooting on location in Utah?
