Melrose Place and 90210 Pt. 2

1 04 2009

Looks like there will be a 90210-Melrose Place cross-over after all!

Ryan Eggold, who plays Ryan Matthews on 90210, will take his character to Melrose, where we’ll see his life outside of school.

The news is kind of surprising since Eggold panned the idea of a Melrose remake.

So what do you think?  Can this work?

General Hospital has done something similar with its spin-off, Night Shift, and managed to maintain continuity.  But the original 90210 and Melrose Place cut ties very early on.

Guess time will tell!

Article: Ryan Eggold Interview

13 01 2009

In another great 90210 interview (which we’re getting thanks to the TCA Press Tour), Eggold (Ryan Matthews) reveals some interesting inside-info.  Here are the highlights:

Tori Spelling’s (Donna, Beverly Hills 9021o) return will be related to Silver.  Makes sense considering they’re related through marriage.  Brian Austin Green, where are you?!

The execs did consider making Ryan Harry and Tracy’s lovechild.

They also considered Ryan getting Brenda pregnant.

He’s got a very foul mouth.  Strange–I don’t remember that from when I interviewed him!
