Why do you think Jessica Lowndes didn't gain more prominence?

I think she had it all - a great singing voice, she could act, and her beauty was truly mesmerizing. I remember seeing her in the TV show Greek before she was on 90210. She was a minor character but I was gobsmacked by how beautiful she was.

I feel like after Season 1 something about her acting style changed. She was very raw in Season 1, and still good in Season 2 but then after that something changed. She started talking differently and it just came off as different.

She's done a ton of Hallmark movies. I've seen some of them and it just seems like there's not much difference in her portrayal of the characters. She could be a doctor in one movie, a writer in another, a PR exec in another, but it just seems like the same person. She doesn't seem to have a ton of range.

I could see her being big in the music scene, but she tried that and it didn't really take off. I listened to a couple of her songs and they just sound really generic - she would do better doing something more soulful, or with piano/guitar music instead of synthetic-sounding electronic backing music so her voice can shine.

I think it really is about connections and luck. I thought something similar about Leighton Meester. She was huge when she was on Gossip Girl, but Blake Lively had a much more high profile career than Leighton despite Leighton being very talented and charismatic. Blake has friends in high places.

Silver was Adrianna Karma

I’m rewatching 90210 for the first time as a adult and Adrianna drives me insane. The first time I watched I hated her and now that I’m rewatching I still hate her. I’m on season 2 episode 6 and Adrianna is now all sad and regrets breaking up with Navid for Teddy. I remember Navid and Silver having a thing going on and yes silver is wrong for dating her bestfriend ex and Navid is wrong for cheating and dating his ex girlfriend bestfriend.. but honestly that’s what she gets… Navid was a great guy to her I mean the dude was even willing to raise a baby that was not his and instead Adrianna chooses to cheat on Navid with Teddy…. Also Adrianna is very selfish

Adrianna can’t sing

Am I crazy or is Adrianna really not a very good singer? I feel like all her songs are really bad and she has the potential to be good but I just have a really hard time listening to her

Opinions on Ivy?

I’ll be honest. I 100% without a doubt would rank Ivy the lowest in terms of the substance brought from other characters. She is unbearable at times and is a huge cry baby. I attached to all the characters at some point and fairly quick but for some reason I never could vibe with her.

FINAL OTP OF 90210/ ALTERNATIVE SEASON 5 TIMELINE THAT WE DESERVED

Characters that should've been endgame if the show didn't get canceled

Maxomi = Max and Naomi

Lannie = Liam and Annie

Nadriana = Navid and Adriana

Divy = Dixon and Ivy (her free spirit nature complimented his laid back persona alot)

Etharlie = Ethan (should've been kept and given Teddy's storylines) + Charlie (Liam's half brother and also make him bisexual)

Milver = Mark (Naomi and Annie's half brother) + Silver (unless they kill her off by giving her cancer)

Dating timeline

Annie - Jason, Ty, Ethan, Jasper, Charlie, Colin, Caleb, Riley then endgame with Liam.

Naomi - Ethan, Liam (George and Ozzie omitted to make them all one character as Liam and have him on the show since the beginning), Richard/Jamie, Max, Oscar (no need for Austin as Oscar could've been brought back or extended his stay as a recurring character), Preston, Max, Jordan then endgame with Max.

Silver - Dixon, Ethan, Navid, Greg, Liam (shudders) then endgame with either Mark (he already has kids from his marriage so this would resolve that baby fever nonsense or just kill her off and give her a cancer.)

Adriana - Ty, Navid, Gina (Combined with Javier that way her bisexuality doesn't seem like a phase but an actual journey of identity), Dixon then endgame with Navid.

Ivy - Ethan (Ivy's original introduction would be the storyline with Rhonda), Liam, Dixon, no Nick or Diego nonsense just Raj and her being by his side throughout his whole cancer diagnosis from beginning to end so that his death has more impact and isn't used for shock value and Liam (in season 5 to have her around instead of the random revolving door of women he was getting with. A love triangle romance with Liam and Silver since Silver would be entangled because she would want to keep the baby after things don't work out with Teddy as a surrogate. Could've easily replaced the mess with Jane/Michaela and it should've been Ivy finding out that she's pregnant with Raj's baby. Theirs complications when she gives birth and the doctors tell Liam he has to choose either her or the baby he obviously chooses her so it's like she looses Raj twice. Silver goes off the deep end for Liam choosing the baby as this was her next shot.) Is endgame with Dixon

Liam - Naomi, Ivy, Annie, Silver, Vanessa, Lindsay, Silver, Ivy then endgame with Annie.

Ethan (given Teddy's storylines as well) - Naomi, Annie, Ivy (in place of Rhonda), Silver, Ty (Mark and Ian's characters are fused into one with Ty for dramatic continuity purposes), Marco, Jason (Annie's Kansas ex during the Spring Break episode who he finds out is DL), Shane (they try long distance which leads to open relationship. Neither works for Ethan especially since Shane doesn't want kids they end up divorcing. This also keeps Ethan as a regular in season 5 with a storyline) this is where Charlie is brought back reveals he's bisexual they start out as friends and eventually are endgame.

Dixon - Silver, Sasha, Ivy, Adriana, Megan then Ivy is his endgame.

Navid - Adriana, Silver, the 2 episode flukes then endgame with Adriana.

So are we all ready to admit that Dixon was a cancer, Naomi was a Virgo, Silver was a Pisces, and Ade was a Scorpio?

Any other teen dramas like this one where the narrative focus gradually shifted from the original lead(s) to a supporting or ensemble character who was already part of the cast?

Annie starts as the audience surrogate lead, but Naomi eventually became the breakout centerpiece. The only other example I can think of is Smallville because Chloe went from being a supporting friend to a key character for several seasons, although Clark continues to play a prominent role. Others that come to mind?

Annie disappearing?

I’m watching 90210 for the first time and currently on season 2 on the episode 10 and noticing Annie is hardly being shown in the episodes this season… does she just disappear later down the line in other seasons? I really did like her character before jasper and the hit and run, and feel really sorry for her for the horrible treatment she’s been getting from almost everyone in the show.. she was beginning to be popular, had friends, was smart, was pretty and her style was cute and now she’s in clothes as if she was from abnegation 😭 and she has no one around her now apart from jasper…

Does she have any character growth back to how she was? Will we see more of her? (No spoilers please!)

Adrianna is pretty much evil

I'm in the college seasons and man she's just progressively gotten worse since Javier. Her character arc has been so annoying. How many times am I gonna watch this lady apologize and then follow it up with a vile ass choice to backstab someone instead of facing consequences.

Ep 1x21 finale is one of the saddest scenes ever in television

When Naomi comes downstairs and just obliterates Annie off of the Liam lie. The way Na captivated the room and instantly brung a group hatred towards Annie was insane. The tension in that scene was so raw.

Dixon

I’m watching 90210 for the first time and I’m on season 2 and currently on the episode where Dixon tells his mom “you’re not my real mom”… it’s been brewing but I’m really starting to dislike Dixon, his attitude, the way he speaks to people, the way he’s entitled and thinks too much of himself, and I really didn’t think I’d dislike him as at the start of the series he was likeable.

Someone tell me does his character improve? Or does it get worse? Does he have some character growth at all?! 😭

(No spoilers please!)

The downside of binging

I am house-sitting and they have prime so I've been binging the show and it really seems like just a lot of miscommunication, hiding and lying, and dating each other.

Like bro how many people are gonna partner swap in this show lol and why does Annie and Silver think they're in love with anyone nice to them. Idk in my high school experience, dating your friends exes was off limits lol

And people kissing and sleeping with each other "accidently" caught up in the moment. Like guys.. I know you're high schoolers but come onnnn

13 yrs ago, We lost a real one...💔

Honestly, can't believe the series ended 13 yrs ago. It's honestly been gone longer than it was around. I always think about where they would be if the show was left in the hands of better writers near the end of the show as there were some very avoidable plot.mistakes that could've been corrected if left int he right hands. I feel this show could've surpassed the OG with the number of seasons.
