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

90210“! What can you tell me about my Kelly Taylor? She’s not getting back with Ryan, is she? -Elisabeth
Not anytime soon, no. Ryan’s preoccupied with that witch, Jen Clark, right now. Kelly, however, has a new crush too. Seems her rumored feelings for Harry Wilson are the real thing. I’m told K.T. will big time struggle with her attraction to West Bev’s married principal this fall.

Thanks for the scoop on Jackie Taylor returning to “90210.” I am definitely one of the old school fans who thinks the more veteran characters, the better! -Renay
I feel you on that. Unfortunately, I’m hearing everyone’s favorite former TV cokehead may not be long for this world. Word is, Jackie Taylor is sick. Very, very sick. And I guess she just really wants to reconcile with her daughters before it’s too late.

Good work on the “One Tree Hill” interview with Mark Schwahn and Sophia Bush. I was so sure that Rachel and Dan were going to be together and have a baby, but I’m really relieved to hear that’s not happening. -Sal
Yeah, Mark definitely said the Rachel-Dan baby scenario is untrue. But that doesn’t mean Rachel and Dan won’t be together. Actually, I’m pretty sure they’ll be sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G this season…

***

Need to vent: I *hate* how they’ve ruined the Jackie Taylor character. On the original show, her drug addiction was for part of the very first season. For the next nine seasons, she was completely clean and a supportive mom to Kelly and Erin. I hate how the new show changed that, essentially rewriting history. They’ve done this was many characters/stories now.  Every time, it’s such an insult to longtime fans and the show’s now-almost 20-year-history.  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: they should’ve left the original stories the way they had ended.

RELEVANT 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…

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

If you have any idea what happens on “90210,” please report it on your fabulous blog asap. I’m dying here without scoop on crazy Annie & co. -Lee Oh, crazy Annie is in for a tough time. Dark days are on their way for Miss Wilson… which I’m assuming is a turn the writers decided to take in response to everyone’s annoyance over her bubbly enthusiasm last season. Anyhoo, not only does the entire school think Annie sucks, but her own brother will be avoiding her come fall. And just when you think things can’t get any worse for the chick, Naomi will unleash the scandal of the season on her. Let’s just say Silver and Dixon’s sex video will be old news in no time.

“90210” spoilers! Now! Are Dixon and Silver done or what? -Caroline Done and done. I mean, I think they might still be together when the season first starts, but it won’t last long. Dixon’s going to start dating an older woman, a D.J. in her 20s who’s obsessed with sports. Oh, and p.s., Dixon is going to give surfing the old Brandon Walsh college try… except D will take to it quite naturally.

I have to know what’s up with Naomi and Liam next season. Does she know that Jen is the one who seduced him? -D She knows nothing of the sort. Not yet, anyway. Jen will continue to manipulate the situation, even paying Liam’s mom a visit, telling her that Liam caused Naomi undue stress and that she’d prefer that he keeps his distance.

Is Ryan Matthews staying on “90210” or is he joining the new “Melrose Place”? -Derrick Yeah, those “Melrose” rumors keep swirling, but as of now, he’s staying in BH and will continue to fall deeper in love with that Devil-woman, Jen. You’d think a guy like Ryan would be able to see past her b.s., but I guess not.

Hey Korbi, Can you tell me if Adrianna and Navid will stay together even though they’re not getting married anymore? -Mandy
Yep. They’re still together. For the forseeable future, anyway. Seems Navid’s super jealous of the new, tennis prodigy guy, Teddy…
