  • This is the first episode since Dec. 8.
  • This song was the theme to a CW/WB show at some point I’m pretty sure. Forget the name.
  • Silver and Naomi are in a limo, presumably coming home from their trip.
  • Naomi is texting Liam. She’s ecstatic. He misses her.
  • Silver is not amused since Naomi is paying no attention to her.
  • Liam is with with Dixon.
  • Liam is gushing, too, as he texts.
  • Q1: Somebody’s text-whipped.–Dixon
  • Liam says Dixon is being a “hater” and he says he’s happy for them.
  • Dixon says his kiss with Silver was amazing.
  • Silver says to Naomi she hopes he feels the same way but we don’t know what way she means.
  • Annie has been away apparently.
  • Debbie says Annie seemed happy via phone, laughing and saying she can’t wait to come home.
  • Okay, apparently Annie has been in Vegas!
  • Oh, with Tabitha. Hm. Interesting.
  • Debbie sees an invite for a boosters reception.
  • She accuses Harry of not telling her about it because Kelly has been there.
  • Harry says she has nothing to worry about because he hasn’t said 10 words to Kelly since Debbie determined Kelly likes him.
  • Not sure when that was determined. I hate this storyline. Argh.
  • Dixon tells Annie (they’re in the car together now) he doesn’t know why he and Silver broke up.
  • He says they’ve both changed since then and hopefully they can get back together now.
  • Annie looks distracted all of a sudden.
  • Dixon asks if she’s okay.
  • She says she’s not looking forward to going back to school.
  • Dixon says it’ll be fine because she already broke up with Jasper.
  • Perhaps that isn’t true?
  • Annie goes into her room and there are flowers…from Jasper.
  • The card says how he missed her and loves her.
  • She notices her window was opened and realizes he probably snuck in and out.
  • Did he really not stalk her while she was away?
  • Next day: Naomi is worrying about her tan.
  • Silver, again, is not amused.
  • They are going to someone’s 21st birthday party tomorrow night. Not sure who’s but they are excited.
  • Adrianna comes over.
  • They ask how her break was and she said she laid-low.
  • They say their trip aws great.
  • It’s kinda awk since Silver and Nomai are all giggles (about Ade’s tan) and Ade is on the outside of the inside joke.
  • Navid spent the summer in another part of California.
  • Liam and Dixon are shocked when Navid shows he has drugs…cocaine.
  • Dixon tells Navid to put it away and he tells Dixon and Liam to relax.
  • He says he doesn’t do drugs–they are to plant in Jasper’s locker, he’ll call the tip line and Jasper will get caught.
  • Q3: “I’m not a rat. I’m a hero.” “You’re an idiot.”–Navid and Liam
  • Liam and Navid are not buying it.
  • They ask how he’ll get into Jasper’s locker.
  • Navid says there’s a master list of locker combos in the principal’s–Harry’s–office. He obvi needs Dixon’s help.
  • Dixon says no way and walks away. Liam follows suit.
  • Yikes.
  • Jasper comes up behind Annie, saying how he missed her.
  • Annie tells him to stop and that she’s breaking up with him.
  • Q4: Then I’ll tell.–Jasper
  • She freaks.
  • He says all the cops need is a tip and they’ll check her computer and see what sites she’s been going to, etc. and gather evidence.
  • She starts to cry.
  • Q5: “Why are you doing this?” “I love you.”–Annie and Jasper
  • Great logic.
  • Jasper says they’ve both made mistakes but they can put them behind them.
  • He says if they start over, he’ll keep her secret.
  • He takes her hand and they walk down the hall.
  • Silver and Naomi see. They are not happy.
  • Dixon finds Silver on the computer. He cuts to the chase: he wants to talk about the dance.
  • Silver blurts out that it was a mistake (their kiss).
  • Dixon pretends not to be shocked and hurt and says he was going to say the same.
  • Silver says she was feeling vulnerable about seeing Teddy with the other girl and maybe she jumped to conclusions.
  • She plans on talking to him and maybe they can work things out.
  • Poor, Dixon. She not only doesn’t want him but wants his friend instead!
  • Naomi goes over to Ivy, who is reading a comic book.
  • Naomi was really friendly!
  • Ivy explains the comic when Naomi asks what she’s reading.
  • Q6: Woah, spoiler alert!–Naomi about Ivy’s description of the plot
  • Naomi thanks her for sending her the text to Liam.
  • Aw, that’s sweet. She didn’t have to do that. She could’ve left Ivy high-and-dry or, even worse, rubbed it in her face.
  • Ivy says she and Liam were never together and that he always wanted her.
  • Naomi says she brought her a gift from St. Bart’s.
  • It’s a cheetah-printed purse, LOL
  • Ivy awkwardly acts happy.
  • Q7: “I always wanted a pocketbook.” “Oh, it’s a Fendi baguette.”–Ivy and Naomi
  • The guys are outside, in gym, I guess, kickboxing.
  • Teddy and Dixon are sparring partners.
  • Teddy is going really hard and he calls out Dixon on kissing Silver at the dance after Teddy told him he liked her.
  • Dixon says he probably got over her already.
  • Teddy says no, he hasn’t because he really likes her and deserves to know if something is going on with them.
  • Dixon says he doesn’t think he and Silver are over. The kiss just happened and will probably happen again since they’re talking about getting back together.
  • Not cool, Dixon! My sympathy for you just went bye-bye.
  • I know it’s probably hard for him to see, but there’s no sense in pursuing a girl who says she’s interested in someone else AND screwing over your friend at the same time. It will sooo back-fire on all fronts.
  • Annie is sitting alone outside at school. She looks around at all the people with their cliques.
  • Silver and Naomi come over and ask how her break was.
  • She says it was good.
  • They say how they haven’t talked to her since the dance. What’s going on with Jasper? Did she break up with him?
  • She says it’s complicated…
  • Naomi says he’s a drug dealer and Silver says he lied to her.
  • Naomi adds that he’s greasy-looking. Not helping, Naomi.
  • Annie tells them to stop, that they don’t get to do this.
  • Q8: Just leave me alone. You’ve done it before.–Annie
  • She walks off.
  • Silver finds Teddy and says she wants to talk about the dance.
  • Teddy says she was right–he’s a player like she said and that’s not changing. So many girls and he doesn’t know who to take to the birthday party.
  • She seems kinda peeved and walks off.
  • Teddy seems kinda pleased, kinda confused.
  • Navid happily asks Jasper how it’s going. Jasper makes a face and keeps going.
  • Naomi tells Dixon that Annie is still dating Jasper.
  • She says it’s not her place to interfere but maybe Annie will listen to Dixon.
  • I like that Naomi is trying to help her…
  • Dixon is shocked. Looks like he’s contemplating Navid’s plan!
  • Gia goes over to Adrianna. They are at AA.
  • Ade says she didn’t know Gia was in AA. Gia points out it’s anonymoous. LOL
  • Gia invites her to go bowling with other people from the group.
  • Ade says no, she doesn’t want to make AA her whole life.
  • Gia says she just likes having people around that understand what she’s going through.
  • Ade says her friends do–kind of.
  • Gia says she should call her if she ever wants to talk and gives her her Blaze business card.
  • I sooo did not have business cards when I was in high school! And I was EIC of the paper!
  • Naomi and Liam are having a fancy dinner on the beach.
  • She says she wants it to be perfect.
  • They both start a convo at the same time. It’s awk.
  • They remark again and again that they are together at last.
  • And then they both change the subject at the same time.
  • Liam asks about her trip but every activity he mentions, she didn’t do.
  • She asks about his break–he worked on the boat.
  • He says he’s boring her and she pretends he isn’t. It’s awkward.

  • Naomi apologizes for mentioning her. She says she wants to forget about Jen and everything that happened.
  • Liam apologizes for what happened and she says she rather not talk about it.
  • Both look really hot but both are really not happy. It’s all awkward.
  • Annie is showing Dixon her new computer.
  • They joke about looking up things about Jude Law instead of doing homework.
  • Dixon says he heard she’s back with Jasper.
  • Annie says to stay out of it.
  • Dixon says Jasper is bad news.
  • She says she doesn’t want to talk about it, especially since they (Dixon and Annie) have been getting along lately and she doesn’t want that to change.
  • Dixon agrees and says goodnight.
  • He leaves and calls Navid. He’s “in” on the Jasper plan.
  • Ivy asks Liam how things are.
  • I thought she’d avoid him. Guess not.
  • She asks how his big date with Naomi is.
  • I thought she’d avoid that topic. Guess not.
  • Liam points this out.
  • Ivy tells him to get over himself. She’s not in love with him or anything.
  • And she’ll just ask Naomi. They’re “buds” now. LOL
  • Liam admits the date didn’t go well. He says it was “awkward” and “weird.”

  • Naomi questions if they lose their spark.
  • Naomi, that’s all you had! Physical spark!
  • Ade says there was just a lot of build-up and she can, um, test it out to see if they still have chemistry.

  • Naomi says she and Silver are going to the birthday party and she should join them.
  • Ade says she’d love to. She looks very happy.
  • Dixon is still looking up the combo. He prints it out.
  • He hears Harry coming. Navid tries to distract him.
  • Dixon gets the document just in time, saying it was just a note for him but he doesn’t need to leave it now and stuffs it into his bag.
  • But did he x-out the screen?!
  • Jasper calls Annie over to his car.
  • She’s not happy.

  • Q10: “I’m at a party at the beach club.” “Well, you’re in luck. That’s a nice sweater. It looks good on you.”–Ade and Gia
  • That was kind of cute.
  • Ade explains how she took a sip of the drink and is now freaking out.

  • Debbie tells Kelly she’d like to talk about her alone.
  • Q11: Let’s talk about that little crush you have on my husband…I’m not threatened. I’m annoyed.–Debbie

  • Debbie asks if she intended, then, to break up her marriage.
  • Kelly says she’s been going through a rough time with her mom passing and had confided in Harry.

  • Q12: I’m not that person anymore.–Kelly
  • EFFING HATE THIS!!!!!!!

Spoiler: Watch With Kristin

8 03 2010

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

Wallace: Any word on whether One Tree Hill or Life Unexpected will get another season?
My sources are telling me it’s most likely that only one will survive, but that it looks like nothing will be announced until the upfronts in New York in May (when the networks announce all their fall schedules). I saw Dawn Ostroff at The Vampire Diaries event Saturday night and wanted to ask, but she slipped into the night all Damon-like. Boo! Oh, and a reminder on Life Unexpected: It moves to 8 p.m. tonight (Monday) on the CW. Check it out if you haven’t yet!

Deirdre: Any scoop on Gossip Girl?
Georgina has found something even bigger than Bible camp: Bleach! When we ran into her in NYC recently, she said this of her upcoming role on GG: “There’s definitely going to be some stalking. There’s gonna be a few changes to Georgina’s appearance, so you’ll have to tune in and see if you can recognize me.” When we guessed she was going blond, M.T. just said, “I don’t know,” but from the looks of this new photo we just nabbed of her, I fear she may be going Single White Female on Serena’s ass. Run for you life, “S”!

Maureen in Boston: You need to give more scoop on One Tree Hill! What’s happening coming up?
I’m hearing Haley is going to go into severe depression following her mom’s death. Sadness.

Rebecca: How about some 90210 scoop please!
Soitenly! I’m hearing that Dixon and Ivy are going to fake-date to make Liam jealous, but Dixon is going to start having some feelings for Ivy. Oh, the tangled web young love can weave!

Exclusive: 90210’s Michael Steger Talks Navid’s Future, Journalism and More

7 03 2010

I first interviewed Michael Steger in spring 2008, shortly after The CW announced they ordered their 90210 pilot as a full series. He and the rest of the cast didn’t know much about their characters yet but he did know this: he’d sort of be Andrea Zuckerman version 2.0, via his association with the West Beverly Blaze.

I was sold. After all, Andrea had been the Beverly Hills 90210 character I identified with most (at least until she got pregnant and married–in that order–while a freshman in college…can’t say that happened to me!). A season-and-a-half later, I’m more than pleased to see Steger’s character Navid Shirazi still has the journalism connection.

While chatting on the phone earlier this week, Steger shared with me his favorite real-life journalists, filled me in on Navid’s storyline for the next few episodes (is there a possible battle of the red-heads brewin’?) and expressed where he’d like to see 90210 to go in season 3.

TeenDramaWhore: I’ve been reading up and watching the other interviews you’ve done lately. There’s a clip showing Navid by the lockers in school, wanting to plant some drugs on Jasper [Zachary Ray Sherman].

Michael Steger: I end up finding a way to get cocaine and I have a plan to use it to get Jasper kicked out of school. I’m trying to recruit Dixon [Tristan Wilds] and Liam [Matt Lanter] to help.

TDW: What is his motivation? Is it strictly because he wants his own revenge or is it out of concern for Annie [Shenae Grimes]? Or both?

Steger: I think it’s a little bit of both. I know Jasper pushed me down the stairs and no one else believes me. I also caught him selling drugs to Adrianna [Jessica Lowndes] and he’s also hurting Annie. So there’s a lot of reason for Navid to have pure hate for this guy. There’s a lot motivating Navid.

TDW: Is Navid any way connected to the Adrianna-Gia [Rumer Willis] romance?

Steger: I think Navid is questing his manhood. His self-esteem is really hurt. He’s asking himself a lot of questions, like “Does she not like men because she was with me? What’s going on?” He’s kind of perturbed a little bit that they’re together. He’s not used to it.

TDW: I’ve also heard that Navid gets a girl of his own.

Steger: Yes. Coincidentally, we’re both dating red-heads. I end up dating my star reporter, Lila [Amber Wallace (Glenda, One Tree Hill)], who’s almost as ambitious as I am. She works for the Blaze. I went through so much with Adrianna and Jasper and it’s made me completely devoted to journalism.

TDW: Speaking of journalism, I really like the journalistic side of Navid, for obvious reasons. I was wondering if you have a favorite journalist or someone in the media world you really admire.

Steger: Yeah, absolutely. Love Charlie Rose. Every time I catch him late at night, I really enjoy watching him. The questions he asks–I think he’s so smart. Diane Sawyer, love her. I really enjoy Bill Maher. I don’t know that he’s necessarily a hard-hitting journalist. More like a personality.

TDW: Going back to the show, I heard that the season finale is called Confessions. So I’m wondering how Navid figures into that. What might Navid be confessing?

Steger: Ohhh, you’ve got the good questions! He does have a confession. I can’t say what. It’s such a good episode. I think the fans are really, really going to like this one. A lot goes down and you see everybody’s true colors come out. He’s going to take everybody by surprise.

TDW: Is there anything in particular you’d like to do in season 3? Any storylines you want to tackle?

Steger: I’d like for the Blaze to showcase more hard-hitting issues, bringing hot topics to the forefront and educating our audience. I feel like there’s so much out there kids should be aware of. For instance, what’s going on in Haiti and different things around the world. I think those topics should be intertwined in storylines to get people aware. We’re part of pop culture and as much influence as we can impress upon kids, the better. So I would say promote more positive messages, because I know we’re busy always pushing the envelope and all the drama but it’s always good to throw some good examples in there.

TDW: I think that’s a really good idea. Something else I’ve heard from readers is that they want to know more about Navid’s family. We’ve seen your parents briefly here and there but will we see them again, maybe in a larger capacity?

Steger: Yeah, I think so. The writers, we’ve been talking about diving more into Navid’s relationship with his dad and the porn industry and how dysfunctional it is and how Navid feels about it. It’s almost like Navid is trying to escape that and wants to find success in something he finds classy and artistic. I think there’s a lot of room for stories with his family. He has to deal with this materialistic life as best as he can but it’s overwhelming. He drives a Lamborghini; he lives in a mansion. It’s a lot to deal with. It’s a lot of pressure for him.

TDW: You’ve already finished filming for the season, so what’s next for you?

Steger: I went to New York right away to see a bunch of theater. Now I’m getting back to my actor roots, looking for jobs and projects to get involved with. I’m having a great time. I’m really excited for this break.

Come back next Sunday for another exclusive interview!

News Roundup: 90210, Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill and More

5 03 2010
  • Have you taken the TDW Survey yet?
  • The Hollywood Reporter has a very interesting interview with CW head Dawn Ostroff, where she discusses 90210 and Gossip Girl, in addition to One Tree Hill.
  • TeenTelevision.com and Digital Spy have spoiler-filled interviews with Michael Steger (Navid, 90210). I’ll be posting my own interview with Steger on Sunday.
  • Amber Wallace (Glenda, One Tree Hill) will be reprising her role as Lila on 90210. Zap2it has some spoilish details and I’ll have some, too, in my Steger interview.
  • There’s some evidence that this newly-made Twitter account (and the linked Facebook page) is actually Shannen Doherty (Brenda, Beverly Hills 90210), particularly because verified accounts for Holly Marie Combs and Alyssa Milano are communicating with it. But her reps insist to me it’s not. Interpret as you wish.
  • Also found a listing on Amazon for Doherty’s upcoming book, Bad Ass. Have to say I’m kind of surprised…
  • Rebecca Gayheart (Toni, Beverly Hills 90210) and hubby Eric Dane welcomed a baby girl earlier this week.
  • Last night’s Jimmy Fallon featured a super-awesome reunion of the super-awesome California Dreams cast, which included Heidi Lenhart (Ellen, Beverly Hills 90210).
  • NYU Livewire has a very interesting article with suggestions on how to improve Gossip Girl.
  • One Tree Hill co-producer Kelly Tenney has another SoGoPro blog post about filming in Utah.
  • MTV has a video interview with James Van Der Beek (Dawson, Dawson’s Creek), where he says he and Michelle Williams (Jen, Dawson’s Creek) would be interested in some sort of “reunion show.” Don’t get that at all since A) Van Der Beek said last month he wasn’t interested in one, B) creator Kevin Williamson said during November’s Paley Panel he wasn’t interested in one, C) The series finale took place 5 years in the future, D) Jen died in the finale and E) Williams didn’t even participate in the Paley Panel.
  • Jeri Ryan (Charlotte, The O.C.) has been cast in Body of Evidence, an ABC pilot.

Fun Fact

5 03 2010

While nearly all the teen dramas started with main characters who were siblings or would become siblings, every single one did begin with main characters who had some form of absentee parents.

On Beverly Hills 90210, Kelly’s dad took off when she little.

With Dawson’s Creek, Joey’s mother died when she was thirteen and her father was in prison. Jen’s parents sent her to Capeside to live with her grandmother.

Ryan’s father was in prison on The O.C. and his mom kicked him out of the house and soon took off. Summer’s mom abandoned her and her dad she was thirteen.

On One Tree Hill, Peyton’s mom died when she was 8 and her dad spent long periods of time away at sea. Brooke’s parents were often out of town as well. Lucas didn’t really have a dad in Dan.

Serena and Eric’s dad was MIA while Blair’s father lived in France and Chuck’s mom was dead (or so he thinks).

On 90210, Silver’s dad Mel appeared to be out of the picture while Dixon’s biological parents were who-knows-where.

Almost all these “absentee parents” led to much drama on the shows. But it’s worth noting that even the “2-parent households” had their problems, too!

Weekly Poll

3 03 2010

In the last Weekly Poll, most voters–56 percent–said the Victoria/Alexander pairing on One Tree Hill came out of nowhere, though 31 percent said they don’t know what to think while 13 percent said it makes sense. The second poll had similar numbers, with 53 percent saying seeing Georgina every now and then on Gossip Girl was fine, 34 percent saying she should be a main character and 14 percent saying it depends on the storyline. Forty-four percent prefer Harry to be written off 90210 via death, with “none of the above” getting the next highest result–24 percent–and then 15 percent for “combo of the above,” and 9 percent each for divorce and rehab.

Spoiler: The Big Tease

3 03 2010

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

What’s the buzz on ‘90210’s return? – SDion
I’ve seen the next few episodes kicking off March 9, and it’s BAU for the West Bev crowd. Dixon and Silver are stymied by miscommunication, Naomi pulls a Claire Dunphy (think trenchcoat) but with slightly less disastrous results, Rumer Willis’ character is on the receiving end of an unexpected kiss, and poor Annie is mired in a sorrowful dilemma. Meanwhile, I can see why Jennie Garth is on her way out – a Lonely Heart Kelly Taylor is frankly hard to swallow.
