I can’t with this show. So now Dylan and Andrea are being put in a lot of scenes together and she’s over at his house, which I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. Of course they have chemistry, but instead of letting her have an affair with him, they bring on a new character to pawn her off with. It’s crazy because they claimed she had to go, but they keep showing ways she could’ve stayed long term, they just never pursue what *they* set up.

Whenever I think of  Shannen and 90210 I end up thinking of when she hosted SNL in  her last season with the show. SNL was probably  at an all time low at that point in how women were treated, and had a toxic backstage atmosphere, yet there is  no  real distance in the goodnights - she could have just been faking of  course, but she really seems to have enjoyed her time, and she has a big bear hug with Chris Farley that makes me feel a bit sad now. It makes me wonder if the 90210 set was so awful for  her by that point she was just thrilled at the escape. 

(if you want to see it you can find it on Archive - it is, of  course, very 1993)

I'm just saying.  Is she (Shannen Doherty) the greatest actress ever?  No.  When she's good, she's very good; and when she's not, she's...not.  But, either way, she makes. You watch.  Love her or hate her, but you'll never, ever forget her.

ETA: In a world more perfect than this one, she, and not Sarah Michelle Gellar, would have taken daytime by storm as Erica Kane's long-lost, illegitimate daughter on AMC.  (And unlike the Once and Future Vampire Slayer, she would've been the right age for it, too, lol.)

Beverly Hills 90210 was such a big part of my teen years yet I somehow don't feel nostalgic for it and have a longing to rewatch it. The first four seasons were the best. I lost interest early in the 5th season and never went back to it.

"90210" is like much of Aaron Spelling's output.  If you're watching it again at all, it's because you DO have residual nostalgia for it.  Otherwise, it doesn't hold up at all.

Yeah...
Prompted by the revival of this thread I have watched a whole bunch of stuff online the past few days and while the acting is better than I remembered, the dialogue is so so much worse.
I had to stop because I was cringeing so hard. The Suite Life of Zach and Cody had more depth in its dialogue and was more subtle in its moralizing than this.

I had also forgotten that Michelle Phillips was playing Val's mother in denial about her husband having molested her which considering subsequent revelations about John Phillips is hella awkward to rewatch

    • I skipped most of Daniel too. I think it's awful he has kids with Nicole, Csrky5 and Chloe and Brady, Bo and Philip do not.

    • Today was very focused on Bo and his illness.  I’m liking how everything is ultimately tied together, even though everybody doesn’t know it yet. The EJ connection seems a little sudden and random though. I’m guessing that that was not on Ron’s agenda. And I’m not really sure why any of these rich people couldn’t help the hospital months ago lol  But I really like how the whole sepsis drug thing is being written a lot more realistically than what we’ve grown accustomed to with Dr. Rolf and all of his wonder drugs. They’re definitely putting more of an effort into this storyline. It feels more real.  Philip was a little whiny and self-pitying today, but I also feel like the writing has improved for him as well. He’s coming off less like a villain and more like a tragic hero. I enjoyed his scene with Stephanie and hopefully it means that at some point, we’ll get a revival of Philip/ Stephanie/Alex. Tying it to Stephanie’s novel could be really good. And, the dorkiness of Xander and Sarah was really sweet too. I’m looking forward to their weekend together and what secrets may or may not come out lol 
    • "And I also want to flirt with every woman that comes my way... but then beat up anyone who talks to my wife. BECAUSE I'M A MAAAAAAAAAAAN." Give me a break with your ugly baby paintings... You're in the same category of the hacks that sell paintings with a single dot for thousands or even millions of dollars.

    • I have to check out his Bela Garody on Search for tomorrow. He was one of the main reasons EON worked for me when I was watching. Truly unforgettable presence. Handsome in the most perverse and sinister way. They don't make faces like that anymore. 
    • My favorite moment in SOAPDISH is the HW taking the star to the mall in NJ to improve "morale"!! 
    • Oh no! The shoulder pads! I will mourn them when they're gone. Please tell me the head pieces and hats remained!?
    • Shout! TV has now added season 26. Not sure what the reasoning for that was, but maybe it was the one that was ready to go... 
    • It's AWFULLY hard to tell.  But out of the (approximately) 16 weeks so far in 2025, Bryton has only had about 12 episodes.  That's significantly less than 1 per week.  Once the actor drops down to less than 1 per week for an extended period of time (such as a 39-week cycle), I start thinking there's no contract in place for him or her.  Surely these folks aren't tying themselves down to a show for a guarantee of 1 or 2 episodes a month.   If I counted right, Bryton has had 21 episodes in the past 24 weeks.  They're either (a) about to kick into high-gear & work his ass off to meet his minimum guaranteed appearances, or else (b) he ain't got a contract that guarantees him squat.
