News Roundup: 90210, Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill

30 01 2009
  • If you’re into Twilight and like the soundtrack, you can thank Gossip Girl and The O.C.’s music supervisor, Alexandra Patsavas.
  • A new article suggests it would’ve been more realistic to have Adrianna (Jessica Lowndes, 90210) get the abortion.
  • Check out the box cover for the Beverly Hills, 90210 season 7 DVD!  Unlike the seasons 5 and 6 covers, Clare (Kathleen Robertson) is actually in it!
  • Even though in both the original 90210 and the spin-off, they went to West Beverly High, the actual Beverly Hills High School is trying to profit off the show, with this merchandise.
  • A new interview with Ashley Rickards (Sam, One Tree Hill) promises more “little fights” with Brooke (Sophia Bush).




Love Triangles Pt. 4: One Tree Hill

MONDAY: BEVERLY HILLS, 90210

TUESDAY: DAWSON’S CREEK

YESTERDAY: THE O.C.

TODAY: ONE TREE HILL

BROOKE-LUCAS-PEYTON

How It Started: Lucas had a crush on his half-brother’s girlfriend, Peyton, but ended up dating her best friend Brooke in season one.  It wasn’t long, though, before Lucas and Peyton couldn’t hide their mutual attraction and began sneaking around Brooke’s back.  When Brooke found out the real reason Lucas broke up with her, she ended her friendships with both of them, and the Leyton versus Brucas war began.

How It Ended: Peyton and Lucas realized they couldn’t move forward with their relationship after hurting Brooke so much.  By the end of season two, Lucas realized how much he missed Brooke and in the beginning of season 3 they got back together.  At the end of the season, however, Peyton also realized that she was in love with Lucas and told Brooke–effectively ending their friendship.  Brooke broke up with Lucas, in part because of this, in the beginning of season 4.  It took some time but Lucas finally realized he was in love Peyton, too, and Brooke gave them her blessing.

LINDSEY-LUCAS-PEYTON

How It Started: When Peyton returns to Tree Hill at the beginning of season 5, she’s surprised to find out that Lucas is in a serious relationship with Lindsey.  Lucas, still angry that Peyton turned down his marriage proposal a few years back, continues his relationship with Lindsey and denies that he has any feelings for Peyton.  One night, after Lucas and Peyton share a kiss and Peyton thinks they will be together, she finds out Lucas and Lindsey are getting married.

How It Ended: On their wedding day, Lindsey leaves Lucas at the altar after realizing that he is still in love with Peyton.  Lucas spends the next few months trying to get Lindsey back and blaming Peyton for their break-up.  Season 5 ends with a love triangle cliff-hanger: Lucas is at the airport and calls someone, asking “Do you want to get married tonight?”  It isn’t until the season 6 premiere that we find out he called Peyton.  She accepts his new proposal and they get engaged.

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

Is Christina still on 90210? If so, what will happen between her and Dixon? — Diamonde
MICKEY: Lauren London’s appearance on next week’s episode is the last for which she is contracted. It’s unclear what the producers intended Christina’s legacy to be — she wasn’t exactly a new love interest for Dixon — but at least we got to use the term “lesbian cheerleader” here on the site!

Mickey’s Mini Rant: We love Desmond Harrington as Dexter‘s shady Joey Quinn, but his one-dimensional portrayal of Gossip Girl‘s nefarious Uncle Jack, a sweaty-faced cokehead flailing to steal Chuck’s inheritance, fell flat on its Bass.
