20 07 2009RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!
I am one of the many who find the older characters’ stories WAY more interesting than the younger ones on “90210.” Will we be seeing more Brenda, Donna, and especially Kelly? And will any other original cast members be making cameos? -JayDub
Jennie Garth (Kelly) will return to “90210” on a recurring basis this season, no doubt. Though there were rumors that this decision was undecided at some point, set sources tell me producers have always planned to bring Garth back. Return appearances by Shannen Doherty (Brenda) and Tori Spelling (Donna) are also on the table, though those two have not officially signed on yet.
Thanks for the “90210” scoop. I’m not sure how I feel about it all. I like when the show makes them a gang — a group of friends — like in the original, so hopefully they’ll go back there at some point. -Lee
While Annie is ostracized by the girls this fall, the boys will become a much tighter crew… especially when Dixon takes up surfing as a full-time hobby, something I’m told Liam and Teddy are very much into.
Will we ever find out what happened to Ethan? -Mary
We will, and so will Dixon. And what I mean by that is, he is not in the dark about the Silver-Ethan kiss and will definitely confront her about it… just before he begins dating an older woman, as I mentioned last week, and starts getting pursued by a sexy surf chick too.
Hey! I really want to know, is Annie getting a new boyfriend this season? Cause she’s like the only main character in the show without a love interest or any romantic story. -Eliana
Annie won’t have a love interest when season 2 premieres, but she will be seeing some action… which leads to that sex-type scandal I previously reported. However, I am also hearing she will get strangely close with the nephew of the guy she supposedly killed in the finale car crash we saw last May…

Exclusive: Michael Cudlitz Shares 90210 Memories, Bonding With Benjamin McKenzie
19 07 2009Michael Cudlitz had a recurring role as Tony Miller during the first few seasons of Beverly Hills 90210. Since his days of jock straps and proms with Brenda Walsh (Shannen Doherty), Cudlitz has appeared in a number of programs including Band of Brothers, Prison Break, 24 and CSI. Cudlitz now stars alongside Benjamin McKenzie (Ryan, The O.C.) on the NBC cop drama Southland.
Cudlitz was generous enough to answer a few questions via e-mail about his teen drama experiences.
TeenDramaWhore: You starred in 11 episodes of 90210, and your character is perhaps best-remembered for taking Brenda (Shannen Doherty) to the prom. Do you have a favorite 90210 scene or memory from your time on the show?
Michael Cudlitz: I think it was 14 episodes… but I could be mistaken. [ed. note: IMDB says 11] At the time, I was also the construction coordinator on the show. So my good memories, go beyond just acting in the show. My favorite memory would have to be the first prom [ed. note: episode 1.20, Spring Dance], before I was cast on the show. We were working at the Universal Hilton and the cast was being housed in the hotel. Let’s just say, the hot tubs were full and the bathing suits were scant.
TDW: You were last seen in the premiere of season 4. Was there a possibility of continuing on or, at least, interest on your part to do so?
Cudlitz: At the time I was starring with Ben Affleck in my own series “Against the Grain.” So leaving the show was a very logical progression.
TDW: Are you still in touch with any of the 90210 cast members?
Cudlitz: Yes. I’m very close with Luke Perry [Dylan]. I bump into Brian [Austin Green, David], Jason [Priestley, Brandon] & [Gabrielle Carteris, Andrea] periodically. And I share mutual friends with Mrs. [Jennie] Garth [Kelly].
TDW: Are you still recognized for your role?
Cudlitz: Absolutely…….. Up until “Band of Brothers” I thought my tombstone would read “Here lies Michael Cudlitz. Yes, he took Brenda to the prom.”
TDW: What do you think is 90210’s role in television/teen drama history?
Cudlitz: That’s a great question. When the show first started it was nothing more than a teen soap opera. When [Charles] Rosen was brought on as the head writer/show runner, I think he saw an opportunity to deal with actual issues that were affecting teens at the time. Not just just your typical high school teen age “hormonal” crap. He took important issues that teens were facing in all socioeconomic classes, and dealt with them in a very realistic head-on fashion. Trying to explore all sides of the issues and not always having an answer. Because of this, I think it was one of the first shows to realistically deal with what teens actually go through.
TDW: Did you keep up with the show even after your time on it? Did you expect the show to have such longevity–10 years of original episodes, plus countless airings in syndication. Do you watch reruns of the show?
Cudlitz: No, I didn’t keep up with the show. For as good as the show was, eventually the teens grew up, and the show ran it’s course.
TDW: When you were cast on Southland with Ben McKenzie, were you familiar with his role on The O.C.?
Cudlitz: I never saw the O.C. I think I was 40 at the time…. ( not the demographic FOX was looking for….LOL)
TDW: Do you think your respective teen drama experiences give you and Mr. McKenzie something extra in common?
Cudlitz: Sure… that kind of “celebrity” is reserved for rock stars and young people. It is a very humbling, surreal experience. I’m sure for Ben much more than me.
TDW: What can we expect from your character next season on Southland?
Cudlitz: More bad-ass television….( If I told ya. I’d have to kill ya.)
TDW: What other projects are you working on?
Cudlitz: Southland is consuming all my time right now. But, I have some projects that are coming out soon. “Surrogates,” a sci-fi thriller starring Bruce Willis is coming out in September. And I also have completed two indies: “Tenure” starring Luke Wilson, and “Stolen Lives” staring Jon Hamm and Josh Lucas.
Be sure to check out Southland’s season 2 premiere on Friday, September 25.

Teen Drama’s Villainous Characters
26 06 2009Teen drama has its fair share of villainous characters. Their actions might make us furious, but we can’t deny that their drama-causing ways spice things up. Not unsimilar to my Biggest Vixens series, it’s time to look at the most villainous teen drama characters.
BEVERLY HILLS, 90210
1. Valerie Malone (played by Tiffani Amber Thiessen)
When Valerie came to town in season 5, she put on a sweet face but viewers learned by the end of her first episode that appearances could be deceiving. Of the next few years, Valerie faked a pregnancy and an abortion, cheated on her boyfriends and sabotaged the relationships and lives of her supposed friends. As Kelly (Jennie Garth) once said to her, “You are such a bitch!”
2. Ray Pruitt (played by Jamie Walters)
Season 5 also brought Ray Pruitt to town, where he wooed–and then beat–Donna (Tori Spelling). Hated by fans for his character’s repeated physical and emotional abuse, Walters was was let go from the show.
Come back tomorrow to find out who are the villains of Dawson’s Creek!

25 06 2009RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!
Question: Is Jennie Garth going to appear in any episodes of 90210 next season? –Emil
Ausiello: There’s nothing on the books yet, but a rep for the show says “the intention is to have Jennie back next season.” In other 90210 news, former Law & Order ADA Elisabeth Rohm will guest star as a robot bitchy socialite who locks horns with Naomi in at least one episode.
Question: Here’s a question: What the heck has the awesome Melinda Clarke been up to? –Tammy
Ausiello: Big scoop: She’s starring in a new TV series as a housewife by day and a spy by night. Unfortunately, the show isn’t real; it’s part of an upcoming Entourage subplot.
**Note: Clarke played Julie on The O.C.

Spoiler: Ask Matt
1 06 2009RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!
Question: I keep hearing that the new 90210 show-runner isn’t planning on having any more characters from the original show on the reboot. Does that go for Jennie Garth, too? I can understand why having an old-school character pop up randomly just to boost ratings could get lame after a while, but Kelly is so integrated at this point they’d need to explain her absence if they weren’t going to have her back. It seems crazy to send her packing. Jennie Garth is the best thing about the new show. Thanks!—Nic
Matt Roush: My understanding from my in-house 90210 expert (I’m going on record as a first-season dropout) is that Jennie Garth is staying put. As you said, Kelly’s integral to the remake’s premise. What I guess you’ll see less of are the stunt drop-bys, and that’s probably a wise choice.
