Biggest Character Transformations Pt. 2

5 02 2009

My look at the Biggest Character Transformations continues…

RYAN ATWOOD (The O.C.)

Who He Was: Ryan’s life seemed to be headed nowhere when he joined the Cohen family after being arrested for stealing a car. He couldn’t go a week without getting in a fight and struggled to control his anger, regardless of what was at stake.

Who He Became: Well, for starters, by the second-half of the last season, he was no longer getting in fights. In fact, I don’t think he threw any punches from that point on. He improved his relationships with those in his life, especially his formerly-estranged parents. In the series finale’s glimpse into the future, we saw him working as an architect and befriending a young troubled boy, much like Sandy did for him.

BROOKE DAVIS (One Tree Hill)

Who She Was: Brooke was known in high school for her promiscuity, adversity to studying and love of parties and shopping. The only glimpses we saw of the respectable woman she would later become was in her fledgling fashion line and her term as student government president.

Who She Became: Brooke took her small clothing company, Clothes Over Bros, and turned it into a national, multi-million dollar company. Recognizing there are more important things in life than wealth, she cared for an ill foster baby and took in a troubled teenager.

News Roundup: 90210, One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl

2 02 2009

Ryan Eggold (Ryan, 90210) admits in a new interview that even he is “wary” of remakes.
In the February 9, 2009 issue of PEOPLE, Sophia Bush (Brooke, One Tree Hill) says “being on your BlackBerry during dinner” is her number 1 dating don’t. “That’s a big one.”
A one-time One Tree Hill and Dawson’s Creek director reflects on his time in Wilmington and his experiences on both shows.
Leona Lewis says she loves Gossip Girl, and that’s one of the reason she cast Chace Crawford (Nate) in her music video.
Matthew Settle (Rufus, Gossip Girl) says there’s a “magical time” ahead on the show but also warns that Rufus and Lily’s son may pop up at any time, in a dramatic fashion, of course. Settle also squashes rumors on who his son isn’t.

Kelly is especially hesitant because she is a single parent to Sammy (whose father is Dylan). Ryan and Kelly go on a few dates before she leaves town to see Dylan.

How It Ended: When Kelly returns, she notices Brenda is giving her the cold shoulder and calls her out on it. Brenda’s reason: “I slept with Ryan.” And so the Brenda-Kelly war over a man begins again…

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!
