Top 10 Real-Life Relationships Pt. 2

23 04 2009

Part 1

The countdown continues with, coincidentally, two relationships from the same show.

8. Jason Priestley (Brandon, Beverly Hills 90210) and Christine Elise (Emily, Beverly Hills 90210)

Priestley and Elise dated and live together for several years during the 90s.  Elise’s three appearances on the show (season 2, season 4, and season 5) all occurred during the course of their relationship.  Ironically, on the show, their characters’ initial relationship ended when Emily went a little pyscho.  It later didn’t work out because of timing, and because of Brandon’s relationship with Kelly.

7. Brian Austin Green (David, Beverly Hills 90210) and Tiffani Amber Thiessen (Valerie, Beverly Hills 90210)

This couple actually began seeing each other before Tiffani joined the show in the fall of 1993.  In addition to 90210, they also appeared together once in an episode of Saved by the Bell: The College Years and the television movie “She Fought Alone.”

Spoiler: You Ask, I Answer

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

So I watched “90210” last night, I thought it was alright. When will Dustin Milligan’s last episode be? -Erin
Dustin will at least stick around till the show breaks for summer. When I spoke with him on set a couple weeks ago, he was filming the second to last hour of the season (prom night, he was all monkey-suited up). He told me that next Tuesday’s episode — which Jason Priestley directed — picks up right where last night left off with Ethan and Annie breaking up on that make out cliff or whatever you want to call it. Apparently it’s going to be a crazy dramatic hour that takes place after dark as Silver continues to melt down and everyone goes in search of her. Oh, and p.s., Jackie Taylor (Ann Gillespie) is back.

Hey Korbi, is it true that Ethan starts to fall for Silver by the season finale? -Anonymous

That’s what I’m hearing. I guess he’s going to develop quite a thing for her before he goes and his feelings are not lost on Dixon.

Beverly Hills 90210: The Reunion Show

4 02 2009

BIO is airing a program called Beverly Hills 90210: The Reunion Show at 9pm tonight.

This is a bit of surprise as I haven’t seen anything about this anywhere.

Here is the description they provide:

After its debut in 1990, the glamorous soap about the rich teens at fictional West Beverly High School set fashion trends and turned it’s young cast into instant stars. In this one-hour special, Jason Priestley, Brian Austin Green, Tori Spelling and others reunite to recount all the behind-the-scenes drama and stories you’ve never heard before.

Since BAG and Tori Spelling are in it, this is not the same as the “10-year high school reunion” that aired in 2003.

So, honestly, I have no idea what this is and if it’s truly new.  I don’t have BIO so I can’t watch (though I’m working to change that now).

If you watch, be sure to let me know how it is!
