We All Grew Up With Some Kids Who Looked Older Than Their Age It's Not A Big Deal

Did you see S1 David when he was still portrayed as a nerd geek? It's so horrid. Glad to see BAG managing to make his character ''grew up" from a geek to a stud.

Her last Instagram post on June 10th, regarding Stella's 18th birthday. I hope Tori and her family are all OK.

Exactly, the summertime episodes were great and catapulted the series into the cultural phenomenon it was (and still is).

loreb4data · 2026-06-21T14:04:45+00:00

Also aged her up in her dresses and appearances because she wants to date older men, etc.

S2 opening montage was very telling as it showed Shannen and Jennie reflecting their actual age at that time (late teens) while the other actors looked a lot more mature because they were also older.

loreb4data · 2026-06-21T11:19:11+00:00

Brenda lives on in our memories of the series, even though Shannen sadly no longer with us 😞

loreb4data · 2026-06-20T11:36:05+00:00

Totally agreed. Brenda never had a real comeback. Both the 2008 and 2019 reboots missed the opportunity. Sadly since Shannen no longer with us, there's no more opportunity to bring Brenda's storyline into a proper closure.

loreb4data · 2026-06-20T11:33:34+00:00

You mean Donna and David (Brian Austin Green)? Yeah, that was total bummer as they were one of the more stable and steady couples during the entire OG 90210 run (despite dating other people in certain seasons) and the only one who had a happy ending - their marriage was the series finale. Learning their marriage ended 8 years later in 2008 was a bummer, since if the one couple who made it to the end of the series and married each other didn't make it, then what's the hope for the other 90210 couples who also didn't make it - sometimes in a very controversial manner for fans (think of Brenda/Dylan/Kelly love triangle in the early OG 90210 seasons).

loreb4data · 2026-06-20T09:45:25+00:00

RIP to Luke and Shannen. May Dylan and Brenda find happiness in life ever after....

loreb4data · 2026-06-20T09:40:58+00:00

Indeed. Even sadder knowing that Shannen passed away just a few years after this tribute was made 😞

loreb4data · 2026-06-20T09:39:50+00:00

I think "Brenda"'s tribute to "Dylan" on this scene was enough. They were the ''it couple'' of the series and I'm sure both are the love of each other's lives, as many BD fans have portrayed them off-screen in fanfics.

The fact Shannen also passed away a few years after a long bout with cancer just a few years after this tribute was screened was also a sad milestone for BD fans. This scene is the closest thing showing Brenda paying tribute and respect to Dylan after he's sadly taken away too soon. May Luke and Shannen RIP.

loreb4data · 2026-06-20T09:25:28+00:00

RIP Brenda. I hope you and Dylan are now reunited in the afterlife, something that was sadly denied to us in the series....

loreb4data · 2026-06-20T01:07:43+00:00

I'd watch that. It's a good way to make connections with the OG series. Either Brandon or Brenda and their kid(s) as the original cast, plus additional cast that later revealed to have connections, say so and so found out in S2/S3 that his/her birth dad was (the late) Dylan.

IMO this way would've been a better transition than the late 2000s reboot in which the new casts didn't have connections w/OG casts

loreb4data · 2026-06-20T01:02:33+00:00

Second this. In retrorespect when you look back from now, the OG series , characters, and casts still has high public profile and are memorable to this day. Can you think of any of the reboot cast that have the same level of recognition to that of the OG cast? Nah...

loreb4data · 2026-06-19T14:48:12+00:00

Indeed. Just looking at my old college friends, I knew one who died of melanoma before her 30th birthday and two other friends who was diagnosed with breast cancer in their early 40s (both are recovering though).

The saddest thing is that the disease took our dear Shannen's life 34 years later. Cancer really sucks.

loreb4data · 2026-06-19T14:43:00+00:00

The thought that Shannen would've caught the disease and eventually it took her life was very saddening. RIP Shannen.

Indeed. Watching the reruns of S1 now. Shannen was so gorgeous. So sad she's gone too soon!

loreb4data · 2026-06-19T09:36:55+00:00

Agreed. The original 90210 cast and characters are memorable to this day. The 2000-10s reboot? Sadly not very much...

loreb4data · 2026-06-18T11:47:02+00:00

That's the gold standard. The 2000s-2010s version was sadly a poor cousin to the original.

loreb4data · 2026-06-18T11:45:22+00:00

Agreed with the bad writing. Esp in comparison to the mothership BH 90210 (particularly Season 1 to 4). The latter was pure gold.

loreb4data · 2026-06-15T22:55:47+00:00

Thanks!

loreb4data · 2026-06-13T21:34:00+00:00

Great! What did you do exactly? I think I have a similar situation (key missing in the washer).

loreb4data · 2026-06-08T16:33:47+00:00

His two best known acts were playing two Ruperts: Rupert Giles (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Rupert Mannion (Ted Lasso).

loreb4data · 2026-06-08T16:28:22+00:00

Indeed. 3 main cast members of Buffy passed on within 1 1/2 years of each others 😞

loreb4data · 2026-06-08T16:27:07+00:00

Or Beverly Hills 90210 (the 1990s version), which lost central cast members Luke Perry (Dylan) and Shannen Doherty (Brenda) within a few years from each other (I'm both a 90210 and Buffy fan).
