I've never seen this show.
Not even a screenshot, so tell me.

Is this a show for the females?
I've seen the DVD-boxes and they're all pink...

Is it entertaining for a vampire? Image
What's it about?
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Question about the show...

Postby ibon » Mon Nov 26, 2007 4:53 am

ok maybe i can help you with that... ive seen seasons 1-4,,,,it was awsome... shannen did a great job there...

here a description from wikipedia:

Originally the central characters were fraternal twins Brandon (played by Jason Priestley) and Brenda Walsh (played by Shannen Doherty), who moved with their parents, Jim and Cindy, from Wayzata, Minnesota, a Minneapolis suburb, to Beverly Hills. However, during the show's run, its focus shifted substantially to focus more on the lives of Brandon, Brenda (before the character's departure from the show), and their friends, while divesting itself of a focus on Mr. and Mrs. Walsh. The show addressed many topical issues like date rape, alcoholism, drug abuse, teenage suicide and teenage pregnancy.

here are the characters:the original 8...

Brandon Walsh: Brandon and Brenda were born November 1974. Consistent protagonist of 90210; twin-brother of Brenda; aspiring journalist; sympathetic good guy; had a problem with sports gambling; Student Body President and TV station correspondent at CU; romantically involved with Kelly, Nikki, Emily, Lucinda (secretly as she was a married university professor), Susan and Tracy; nearly marries Kelly, but they decide not to go through with it at the altar. Moved to Washington D.C. a year after college graduation, when he accepted an offer from a New York-based paper to join its Washington bureau.

Brenda Walsh: Twin sister of Brandon; one-time girlfriend of Dylan; generally a good girl, but is known as the rebellious twin; was held up at gunpoint by an armed robber; had both breast cancer and pregnancy scares; fell-out with best friend Kelly over Dylan; arrested for breaking and entering an animal laboratory at the university in protest of animal rights, but was not charged; moved to London after first year of college to pursue an acting career. She would never appear in another episode after moving to London. While the character is mentioned as getting back together with Dylan after he leaves the show to the point of Brandon and Kelly planning to vacation with Brenda and Dylan as part of their honeymoon (which never took place due to Kelly and Brandon deciding not to get married), this continuity is forgotten as Dylan claims to have left Brenda two years prior to his return to Beverly Hills in the ninth season.

Kelly Taylor: Kelly Marlene Taylor was born March 1974. Brenda and Donna's best friend; romantically linked to Steve, Dylan, Brandon, Colin and Matt. Reunited with Dylan at the end of series after breaking up years earlier. Mother suffered from cocaine and alcohol abuse; became David's stepsister and has had two half sisters: Erin by her mother and Joy by her father; was the victim of rumors and gossip during high school, Seventeen Magazine covergirl; burned during an electrical fire that broke out at a house rave party, was brainwashed and joined a cult under the direction of a rogue university professor; had problems with diet pills and later became addicted to cocaine; went to rehab and recovered with help of her friends. Kelly was later stalked and held at gunpoint by her roommate from rehab, only escaping after pretending to join the roommate in a suicide pact and then overpowering her and saving both of their lives. Became pregnant by Brandon, but had a miscarriage due to endometriosis, was shot in a robbery gone-bad at LAX and subsequently had a brief bout of amnesia; volunteered at AIDS hospice and later worked at a free clinic where she faced sexual harassment by a doctor but was able to overcome it with the support of Brandon. Found out Brandon had cheated on her, broke up with him but later reconciled, and nearly married Brandon but they both changed their minds right before walking down the aisle. Was raped in an alley when attempting to locate Dylan, shot and killed her rapist, but murder charges were never filed against her, and she's forgiven by his parents for her actions. Was on show for all ten seasons.

Dylan McKay: Born: Dylan Michael McKay in October 1974. Rich, motorcycling, surfing school rebel; lived by himself in the BelAge Hotel and then in his own house and when he returned in the ninth season he was back to living at the hotel again. Romantically linked to Brenda, Kelly, Valerie, Antonia, and Gina; wife, Antonia, murdered; always had a soulmate connection with Kelly but couldn't commit to domestic life; father in prison for white-collar crimes and later, supposedly killed in a car explosion in 1993 but Dylan finds out in 2000 that he is alive and well and in the Witness Protection Program. They reunite briefly before Dylan decides to let his father go because the criminals his father put away will find and kill him otherwise. Hippie mother in Hawaii; they had a strained relationship but apparently reconciled. Found out he had a half-sister who was later found to have become a prostitute in LA by Kelly and Brandon. During the early run of the series, Dylan reveals he is an alcoholic and regularly attends AA meetings. However, when Dylan returns in the ninth season, his character is now a heroin addict rather than an alcoholic, and no one ever says anything during the many scenes that show Dylan drinking in spite of the large inconsistency with character development; Dylan is no longer seen attending AA meetings. Dylan is also part-owner of the Peach Pit, which caused Brandon to be jealous, during the fourth season. He later buys Peach Pit After Dark to save it from being bought by a greedy restaurateur. Dylan had an up-and-down relationship with Gina Kincaid and nearly left town with her before finally telling her the truth about him being in love with someone else. He and Kelly apparently got back together in the final episode after breaking up years before.

David Silver: Becomes the West Beverly High School D.J.; On-again-off again boyfriend of Donna but married her in the final episode of the series; dated Ariel (who he cheated on Donna with), Claire, Valerie, Sophie, Camille and Gina. Aspiring music video director and musician; initially he is a year younger and thought of a geek by the others, but eventually became their friend and thus part of the in-crowd. Took extra courses in high school to graduate on time with his friends; once took crystal meth; later in the show, his friends became worried about him when he was diagnosed with manic depression, but he overcame that problem. Character is Jewish but not observant though he has been shown standing up against anti-Semites and talking about facets of Judiasm. On the show for all ten seasons.

Donna Martin: Born: December 25, 1974. Best friend of Kelly and Brenda; dated David; longtime virgin; suffered abuse at hands of boyfriend Ray; almost failed to graduate high school due to alcohol consumption at Senior Prom.

Finally had sexual intercourse for the first time with David on the night they graduated from college. Briefly abused prescription drugs before opening her own clothing store. Married David in the final episode. Like Kelly, Steve, and David remained with show for entire 10-year run.

Steve Sanders: Steven M. Sanders was born May 15, 1975. Friend of Brandon, and was Kelly's one-time high school boyfriend; adopted by TV star Samantha Sanders and her husband Rush; learns Rush is his biological father but that his birth mother was a waitress in New Mexico who died not longer she gave him up for adoption.

Andrea Zuckerman: Class Valedictorian; school newspaper editor; secretly commuting to Beverly Hills from Van Nuys; Brandon's best friend while harboring a not so secret crush on him; teen hotline volunteer worker; almost had sex with Brandon at the end of the first season and at the senior prom. Romantically linked to Jay, Dan, Jesse and Peter, with whom she later had an extramarital affair. Jewish and more religious than David Silver, became concerned when she became involved with a Catholic man. Married Jesse, they had a baby girl named Hannah, and left Beverly Hills and California University to attend Yale while Jesse pursued his law career, they would later divorce. She was the show's conscience. Wore glasses for the first two seasons, then switched to contact lenses.
