Weekly Poll

24 03 2010

In the last Weekly Poll, a decent-sized majority–62 percent–don’t want to see Alex become a singer on One Tree Hill, though 27 percent say it depends on the music and how it would be used and 11 percent think it would really add to her character. Forty-nine percent think Gossip Girl’s Rufus would never cheat while 30 percent weren’t sure and 21 percent said it seemed very likely that he did cheat. In the third poll, 42 percent of voters noticed Navid was MIA in last week’s 90210 and missed him, though 29 percent didn’t notice and thought it was terrible. Still, another 17 percent noticed and weren’t bothered but 12 didn’t notice and thought it was a good thing.

News Roundup: 90210, Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill and The O.C.

24 03 2010
  • 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.

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

Will Annie finally get revenge on Naomi on 90210? — Kate
MICKEY: Well, I wouldn’t call it revenge (yet). But while Naomi is off making a grievous error of judgment involving the new faculty advisor of The Blaze, Annie and Liam will have a moment. We won’t see the results of Naomi and Liam’s actions for a few weeks, but rest assured, they’ll be disastrous.

The advisor will be played by Hal Ozsan (Todd, Dawson’s Creek).

  • He says the girl programmed it in.
  • She says she gets it.
  • The waitress comes over…who, of course, knows him.

  • Dana asks to say grace.

  • He hits play. (I can’t believe this is what the Blaze has evolved into.)
  • Naomi starts out by calling everyone West Bevers. LOL
  • She says her segments will be hot and spicy, and immediately goes into a blind item about a new couple at school.
  • And then a rant about hooking up in public. (Um, didn’t she used to, too?)
  • The segment is supposedly 7 minutes long. Navid and Lila agree to put an end to it.
  • Cut to Silver complaining to Naomi about Teddy.
  • Naomi says how Teddy is a player.
  • Silver says she needs to get comfortable with Teddy’s past.
  • Naomi says Silver is stronger than her because she would always be wondering about when he’s going to cheat.
  • She suggests Silver monitor his cell phone and e-mails, and follow him occasionally. LOL
  • Annie is putting out the trash when she hears a noise.
  • She looks around, sees nothing and goes inside.

  • 10 minutes in and I haven’t picked one quote yet. Hm.
  • The promos tell me Carter from The O.C. will be on Melrose Place tonight.

  • Debbie asks Harry about the saying grace thing from the night before. She wants to know if Dana was judging them.
  • Harry says no.
  • But Debbie says they’re not coming off like good parents because they didn’t know Annie and Dixon took the trip last year.

  • They’re joking around when Dixon notices his car is totally missing from the parking lot.

  • Gia says Ade has an amazing voice.
  • Ade ignores that and says if Gia has stuff to do with the Blaze, she’ll wait for her.
  • Gia calls her out on wanting to see Navid.
  • Ade admits it’s true. She says it’s because Navid almost got expelled for her.
  • Gia wants details.
  • She explains how she spoke to Navid and Navid said how he planted the drugs to take Jasper down.
  • And, she says, he wants to take Jasper down because he was selling her drugs.
  • Q1: How the hell am I supposed to get over a guy like that?–Ade
  • Gia says she’ll get over it when she meets someone else. Gia says that happened to her.
  • Ade is shocked and pleased to hear Gia has a crush and wants details but Gia isn’t divulging.

  • Navid says he needs to get Jasper back for dealing to Ade.
  • He then back tracks and tries to say it’s also about revenge for Jasper pushing him down the stairs.

  • Navid swears he’s going to ask someone out soon.

  • Silver X-es out right before Teddy comes back. And gives her another kiss.
  • He seems kind of adoring.
  • Still at school. Navid and Lila are having fun editing Naomi’s segment. They’re piecing her words together (ala what Clare, David and Donna did in season 5 of BH90210) to create new sentences.
  • Navid asks Lila if she wants to have dinner sometime. He’s adorably awkward.
  • She’s taken by surprise but agrees. Just as adorably awkwardly.
  • Gia shows Ade a flyer for auditions for a lead vocalist for The Gloria Steinems.
  • LMAO at the name.
  • Gia says the band is made up of students and they are “rad.”
  • Gia says Ade has a great voice and needs something to help her over Navid.
  • Ade agrees she does need to get over him but a band won’t help. She thanks Gia for trying and calls her a great friend.
  • Gia looks disappointed.
  • Debbie is finishing yoga. With Kai.
  • He offers water. What, she didn’t bring her own?
  • Q4: Can I get it with a shot of tequila?–Debbie

  • She says she’s trying not feel threatened.
  • Kai asks her point-blank if she is.
  • SHe admits she is a little bit.
  • Kai says those feelings are valid.
  • And how would he know? Background would help. Fleshed-out characters would help.
  • Silver is telling Naomi how she just started dating Teddy and already it appears he’s dating.
  • She can’t bring it up to him because it would reveal she was snooping.
  • Naomi suggests they send someone he doesn’t know to the coffee shop to spy.
  • They see Gia and tell her they need a favor.
  • Cut to Gia acting suspiciously awkward at the coffee shop, hiding behind a magazine.
  • Not The Peach Pit, mind you.
  • We know it’s “Amy” there because the barista calls her by name.
  • She’s kind of hot.
  • Gia texts Silver that there’s good news–no sign of Teddy.
  • And then he walks in. Of course.
  • They enthusiastically hug.
  • She calls him “babe.”
  • Uht oh. Another sister?
  • Gia is still eavesdropping. She sits at the next table.
  • Amy tells Teddy he’s been AWOL.

  • Amy asks why he came then.
  • He says it was a mistake and gets up to leave.
  • She says she can try monogamy but it’s not who he is and it won’t work.
  • He’ll says we’ll see and leaves. She’s kind of dumb-founded.
  • Navid is at the Beach Club waiting for Lila.
  • He is wearing a red and white striped shirt and a blue and white checkered tie. Umm…
  • He tells Lila she looks great. She’s wearing a blue cheetah print.
  • What is going on, Frank Helmer?!
  • They go to have dinner.
  • They start to bond over the things their parents made them do: cotillion, the Quadratic equation (er, forumla, folks) and learning the Fox Trot.
  • Apparently they were Fox Trot partners. But Navid doesn’t remember.
  • They laugh it off.
  • Q6: So, I guess, technically, this is our second date.–Lila

  • Dixon is taken aback. He says he’s surprised.
  • She says they’re getting to know each other.
  • Q7: Do you want to get to know me?–Dixon
  • She says of course. Why else would she be there?
  • He says that last night was weird, with her changing the subject.
  • She says she remembers everything from the past.
  • She explains how one of the memories he brought was actually a product of one of her manic episodes and that’s why she didn’t say anything. She didn’t want the Wilsons to think she’s a worse mom than they already do.
  • Dixon says they wouldn’t think that. She couldn’t handle it and gave him up to someone who could.
  • Dixon says his parents are probably glad they have him.
  • Q8: ‘Cause, you know, I am quite the prize.–Dixon
  • Post-dinner, Navid and Lila are still hanging out at the club. They are joking around in a flirty-way about Navid’s poor dating skills.
  • He wants a chance at a third date.
  • Q9: Prepare to be swept away.–Navid
  • She confesses that when he asked her out, she thought he was doing it to get over Adrianna.

  • Ade has 20 questions to guess Gia’s crush.

  • She repeats that she has to get over him.
  • Gia points out that the band auditions are still going on.
  • Ade says she’ll try anything now. (Not drugs, Ade. Not drugs!)
  • Gia puts an arm around her and they walk off.
  • No Ivy so far. And no Naomi and Liam together. And I am so okay with that.
  • Ade is now auditioning. I don’t know what song it is. Is that bad?
  • She’s singing a capella and killing it. She is talented.
  • Oh, it’s that Joleen song. Jolene? Joline?
  • Gia is there. As are two other band members. Female, obviously. (Gloria Steinems and all.)
  • She finishes. Gia says she was good and they start to leave.
  • The band members stop her. They say they won’t hold call backs because she’s in. She blew them away.

  • Annie and Naomi are discussing how cupakes are so much betterthan cake.
  • Silver is bummed.
  • Naomi says she should be happy. Teddy didn’t cheat.

  • Not really. Cops found the car downtown, completely ruined.
  • Dana and Dixon come in laughing.
  • They apologize for it being late and say they had a good time.
  • Dana is going to walk Dixon upstairs. Aw.
  • Harry says to Debbie that all went well and she worried for nothing.
  • She says that her feelings are “valid” and it would be nice if her husband understood that.
  • Dixon is in his room. He goes on the computer to ByTheBookie.com. He clicks “Yes, I am over 18.”
  • He seemed to know that site already. No Google search or anything.
  • FYI all: Brandon had a sports gambling addiction in season 3 of Beverly Hills 90210, while he was in high school as well. It briefly resurfaced in season 6 while he was in college.
  • Ade arrives at rehearsal. One of the other band members, not one from last night, is kind of punk-goth-y. She starts to give Ade grief but then says they’re cool.
  • Lila walks in, late apparently. She is the bass player.
  • Ade and Lila are introduced. But haven’t they met already? Awkward, anyway.
  • Navid tells Liam and Dixon that he had a hot date last night with Lila.
  • Q10: Cool enough for you to move off your whole Jasper vendetta?–Dixon
  • Navid surprises himself and says yes. He realizes his vendetta did have to do with Ade.
  • Ade is freaking out to Gia. She joined the band to get over Navid but now has to work with his new girl.
  • Q11: Every day I’m going to be reminded of what I lost.–Ade
  • Gia snaps. She doesn’t want to hear about Navid anymore.
  • Ade apologizes for talking about him so much.
  • Gia says that’s not it.
  • Q12: I like you. The problem is I like you, okay?!–Gia
  • She’s practically crying.
  • Teddy and Silver are talking when she says she needs to tell him something.
  • She admits she read his e-mails, the message from Amy.
  • Teddy says nothing happened.
  • She admits she knows that because she sent her friend Gia to spy.
  • The brilliant Teddy says, “You spied on me?” Why do people always say that in these scenarios?
  • Silver says his past was making her feel insecure and she didn’t know if she could trust him.
  • But, she says, it doesn’t matter. She was wrong and it’ll never happen again because she knows she can trust him.
  • Q13: That’s great. But the thing is, now I don’t know if I can trust you.–Teddy
  • He says he needs space and despite Silver’s protests, walks away.
  • I feel like we’ve see this way too many times on shows. It just seems like such an easy storyline to do.
  • Jasper walks up to Annie and offers her a ride.
  • She tells him to stop stalking her.
  • He doesn’t know what she’s talking about.
  • She says she’s seen him.
  • Jasper says he’s just trying to help.
  • He says he got rid of the one piece of evidence linking her to the crime. THE CAR!
  • Q14: See, I’m just looking out for you.–Jasper
  • Close-up on Annie’s freaked-out face.
  • Fade to black.
  • Preview: The voiceover says “The censors forbid us from exploiting this storyline” and it shows Gia and Ade looking at each other. “So if you can’t say this” and Ade says to Silver and Naomi “I’m having these feelings for a girl. Does that mean I’m gay?” Then  the voiceover continues, “Or if you can’t talk about this.” And Naomi says, “A little lady-lady action might be just the thing for you” and then Ade and Gia lean into kiss as the voiceover says “You’ll have to watch to see this.” So much for not exploiting! (I know, I know. It was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek.)

Those are my thoughts. What’s yours?

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

More “90210” please, you haven’t done a Q&A in a while. -Casey
This week’s hour will feature the rebound of Mr. Navid Shirazi. His suspension for coke possession is finally up and he starts dating that new chick, Lila… who ends up having a connection to his ex, Adrianna, that is hardly comfortable.

How much trouble is Dixon’s birth mom going to cause now that she’s in Bev Hills? -RR
Mother and son will have some trouble connecting at first, but their mutual love of basketball may ease a bit of the awkwardness. Unfortunately, I’m hearing her influence may indirectly incite an online gambling addiction in Dix.

Are we finally rid of that creep Jasper? Tell me it’s over between him and Annie. -P
I can tell you no such thing. Creep be stalkin’ little miss Wilson this week. He won’t let up that easy.

Teddy and Silver on “90210”? Will it last? -Grace
There will be bumps in the road. Silver actually sends Gia (Rumer Willis) on a recon mission this week to find out if he might already be cheating on her. It doesn’t go over well. But I think these two are going to go the distance despite their issues.

Any “90210” scoop? -JenniferC
With Dixon’s biological mom staying at their house and Debbie’s yoga instructor (Greg Vaughan) being more supportive of Deb’s feelings than Harry, we’re going to start seeing the first major cracks in the Wilsons’ marriage…

Only thing really new here is the gambling thing with Dixon. And to that I say, see Brandon’s storylines in seasons 3 and 6 of Beverly Hills 90210.

Exclusive: A Quick Chat With 90210’s Trevor Donovan

23 03 2010

I had the privilege of recently catching up with 90210’s Trevor Donovan via e-mail. The three big take-aways from our conversation: you can keep calling him Ken, don’t be afraid to (respectfully) approach him on the street and, oh yeah, tune into the show!

TeenDramaWhore: When you joined the show over the summer, did you have any idea Teddy would still be around all these months later?

Trevor Donovan: I wasn’t sure. I was just having a great time working with the cast.

TDW: Will you be back for season 3?

Donovan: Stay tuned.

TDW: What’s been the easiest thing about working on 90210 and what’s been the hardest?

Donovan: Easiest: well, working with such great cast mates. Hardest: being so close to the beach and not be able to surf.

TDW: There’s two things we know are coming up for Teddy: more interaction with Silver [Jessica Stroup] and Teddy’s father, Spence [Ryan O’Neal], comes to town. Can you tell us what to expect with those?

Donovan: Expect good things.  Love Jessica Stroup… she’s amazing.

TDW: The show has shown its philanthropic side by collaborating with Habitat for Humanity and Warriors in Pink. What were those experiences like for you?

Donovan: A lot of fun.  Am looking forward to doing more..

TDW: In an episode earlier this season, Ivy [Gillian Zinser] jokingly told Teddy not to tweet about her relationship with Liam [Matt Lanter]. As an actor, what value do you think Twitter has?

Donovan: Well, it is such a random thing… if I think of it, I’ll text a tweet.

TDW: A lot of people have looked at you this past year and compared you to a Ken doll. Compliment or insult?

Donovan: Ken is world-known and treated his lady (Barbie) pretty well, as far as I know….so, I’ll take it as a compliment.

TDW: Have you had any interesting fan encounters?

Donovan: Every one of them. I really like meeting fans.

TDW: What’s one thing people don’t know about you?

Donovan: I sing and play guitar.

TDW: What other projects are you working on?

Donovan: Right now I’m taking a vacation and helping out my Mom on the house. Stayed tuned for future projects. Thanks for chatting. I hope you guys enjoy the rest of season 2 of 90210. Keep watching!

Come back Sunday for another exclusive interview!

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

Mart223: Thanks for the cool plug for 90210! How about some more scoop to celebrate?
I give and I give and…well, you give in return, so OK. Gia is going to cheat on Adriana, and Naomi accuses a teacher of sexual harassment, but it’s so not true. Also, things get even creepier (and life-or-deathier) with Jasper. Dun. Dun. Dun.

  • The episode’s title is a play on the movie The 40 Year Old Virgin.
  • Both titles are grammatically incorrect and it bugs the hell out of me! Anyway…
  • Jenny is staying at the loft with Rufus. He’s running a tight ship and she’s hating it.
  • She’s going to school and must come home right after.
  • She leaves the loft and makes a call, saying she needs a car.
  • She lets down her hair and it’s greasy and wavy and just gross.

Those are my thoughts. What’s yours?
