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

After all the deception, are Liam and Annie actually going to sleep together on 90210? — Mischa
MICKEY:
Not anytime soon, says Matt Lanter, who plays Liam, but I’m hearing that we’ll have more to discuss later in the season, when Liam and Annie find each other at interesting, complementary places in their lives.

After watching this week’s episode of One Tree Hill, I’m starting to think maybe Nathan did cheat! When are we going to find out what really happened? — Corinna
ADAM: Stay strong, Naley fans! James Lafferty tells us the Nathan-Renee drama will be wrapped up pretty soon, and, luckily, the scandal won’t really threaten Nathan and Haley’s marriage. “This is a story line that presents a real hurdle, a mountain for them to climb and they have to get through it together,” Lafferty says. “Together they have to carry the whole family unit through the situation, and there’s an immense amount of trust. At no point did I actually think it would break them up.”

The ladies of 90210 are kind of sad this season. I think they need boyfriends. — Hannah
MICKEY: Love is complicated, Hannah. Like, you know how it is when you kill a homeless man and then fall in love with his nephew? Annie knows! If only her classmates weren’t so judgmental about Jasper’s chosen career. He’s an entrepreneur, a born salesman, a… OK, he’s a drug dealer. Meanwhile, Silver will continue to pine for Dixon, completely oblivious to the hottie that’s pining for her.

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

Suzi from NYC: What do you think it’s like to hang out on the 90210 set?
Michael Steger
told us what keeps him busy between takes, and we’re jealous! “I have a Lamborghini this season,” Michael said at the show’s premiere. “I don’t even go to my trailer anymore. Now Dixon (Tristan Wilds) and I go out to the car, and we play with the convertible top and drive around the parking lot. Our set now is around the beach, so we have beachfront. My next wish? Well, they gave us a yacht for episode three and that was pretty impressive.” Tough life, huh?

Stephanie in Atlanta: I take it from the season premiere that the man Annie killed is someone we don’t already know on 90210?
Yes, it seems that Annie’s victim is unknown to us, but we learn in tomorrow night’s episode that incoming hottie Teddy Montgomery (Trevor Donovan) found the body after Annie ran the guy over. (BTW, does it seem plausible to anyone else that dead guy was already dead when Annie ran him over, therefore technically absolving her from responsibility?) In other news, Naomi’s sister Jen is evil, and she’s entangling poor Ryan in her scheme to snag a billionaire.

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

Question: Can you do me a huge favor and give me some Gossip Girl scoop pertaining to Blair-Serena? I’m dying to know if my favorite frenemies will be loving or hating each other this season. —Sally
Ausiello:
They’ll start out loving each other, but by November, the hate is on! What triggers the war? Let’s just say Blair doesn’t follow the bros before hos belief system (or, in this case, hos before bros).

Question: Did I miss your annual list of what to watch and what to avoid among new shows this fall? I learned long ago that if you love a show, I’ll probably love it. And if you hate it, I’ll probably hate it, too. —Melissa
Ausiello:
Nope, you didn’t miss it. I decided to publish it a little later than usual to maximize creative opportunities and deliver the audience the best list possible. I think you’ll agree it was worth the wait:

Take It: Modern Family, Melrose Place, The Good Wife, Community, Cougar Town, FlashForward, V, and The Vampire Diaries.
Take It or Leave It: Bored to Death, Accidentally on Purpose, Trauma, The Beautiful Life, and The Middle.
Leave It: Mercy, Brothers, and Hank.

Question: Will Naomi ever find out that Annie was not the one who slept with Liam on the night of the prom on 90210? —Gia
Ausiello:
Yes, but not until later in the season. In other 90210 news, California University makes a comeback in episode 5 when Naomi starts planning for life after high school. And by planning I mean seducing the dean’s tree-hugging son (played by The O.C.’s Jonathan Trent).

***

Melrose Place stars Laura Leighton (Sophie, Beverly Hills 90210).

Cougar Town stars Busy Philipps (Audrey, Dawson’s Creek).

The Vampire Diaries was created by Kevin Williamson (creator, Dawson’s Creek).

The Beautiful Life stars Mischa Barton (Marissa, The O.C.)

Mercy stars Michelle Trachtenberg (Georgina, Gossip Girl).

Jonathon Trent (with two Os, not an A) is hardly from The O.C. He played Kyle in 3 episodes.  I don’t even remember him.

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

What will happen with Nathan and Haley in Season 7? — Saderia
Will Rob Buckley ever be shirtless on One Tree Hill?Sarah
ADAM: Although it’s all kisses and rainbows for Naley when the season premiere starts, at the end of the hour something (or maybe someone) puts their happiness into serious jeopardy. And Sarah, shirtlessness abounds in the first episode: At least four sets of pecs and abs will be on display.

Please tell me that Navid and Adrianna stay together on 90210. They’re the cutest couple. — Quinn
MICKEY: For now, they’re still together, but this guy showing up doesn’t help matters. Anyway, Navid will have his hands full working on a blockbuster story for the West Beverly Blaze when a student overdoses, and Annie’s new boyfriend is implicated. It allows 90210 to have a “teaching moment,” just like its preachy predecessor did. Stay in school, kids!

Mickey’s Mega Rave: The “new” 90210 isn’t perfect, but I’m really digging the sullen, nerve-wracked Annie (Shenae Grimes), who may or may not be a murderer. Her downward spiral, which began Tuesday with a drunken cabana tryst with an upperclassman, continues next week when she finds herself at the center of a “sext” scandal. Poor Annie — love it!
