So Dylan’s drinking was addressed later in the series and he simply replied he could handle it. He definitely had a problem with drugs. I hated that Val left but we got Gina. Of course Gina was no Val but she went out of her way to irritate Kelly and Donna and that amused me. Kelly is still a bitch about everything, Dylan returning, Matt’s job, and Gina. We know why she hated Gina. Once Gina started dating Dylan, Kelly started to hate her. Jennie Garth and Tiffani were getting along towards the end of the show, but when Vanessa Marcil came on board, Jennie hated her too. Vanessa also started dating Brian who she has a kid with. Vanessa has said in interviews that the girls on the show didn’t like her.

Tom was played by Carlos Ponce, a famous singer/actor. David had no chance being up against Carlos and Sofie knew it too!

The gang did not know about Val’s abuse...only David. It hard to tell whether they knew or not but it’s definitely confirmed next season.

And Kelly would never do inventory by herself. Anyway the fact that she left the key in a cabinet of narcotics is the main reason why there are rules.

Kelly’s responsibilities are so unrealistic. She would never do inventory on medications, she’s not a nurse. She’s not even a MSW. Plus, she’s the one who should be the most sympathetic and understanding because she’s a wanna be social worker.

Sorry I meant season 8 for the Hawaii episodes.

I’ve always said the producers missed a good opportunity for Val. She should’ve left...packed her bags, leave, and don’t talk to anyone. It stays like that for the entire summer until the gang goes to Hawaii, which is episode 2 or 3 of season 7. They see her in Hawaii. Of course she goes back to BH with them. I think that would have been better because she would finally leave and prove that she doesn’t need their friendship and of course it would bug the hell out of Brandon because he doesn’t know where Val was for months.

Yes Jennie Garth was indeed pregnant at this point the episode aired. Since it aired in January, I would assume they probably taped the episode Nov/Dec....depending on when they went on hiatus. Luca Bella was born 6/27 so that would put her conception around mid September/ early October.

The actor that played Dick was in the movie Son in Law. He was the bad boyfriend that drugged Pauly Shore and Tiffani's characters. The whole Mark thing is crazy. The actor was supposed to be on the show the entire season but Jennie Garth didn't be like him and told Spelling that he was anti Semitic. That was the end and they had to write him out in a hurry. I don't know if it was more of Garth's dislike and refusal to roll around in bed with him but Kelly and Mark never sleep together either. Kelly kept saying how she wants to wait. When has Kelly waited?

Kelly eventually works at a free clinic next season and it gets so much worse. Tracy was ok...I always liked Susan more, but Tracy was really a seat warmer for Kelly. Tracy was too good for Brandon anyway and he treated her like crap. Sad part was she knew it.

You absolutely have to mention "poor mans" Wesley Snipes that is working as Tony's bodyguard. I swear I think of WS every time I see the McKay/Marchette episodes.

Everyone sucks in this storyline especially Brandon. Brandon has always been intimidated by Dylan's money and the fact that Dylan could really get any girl he wanted. I think Brandon likes drunk, broke Dylan. He likes that Dylan is broke and he's dating his ex that Dylan wants back. Now Dylan isn't competition. Brandon is a complete jerk to Dylan when he needs his friends the most. All of them suck to be honest.

Well here's when Kelly officially hates Val... For really no good reason. She was looking for a reason when she caught her with weed. When she caught her with Dylan, IT WAS A WRAP!!! Val likes Dylan and anyone who is with Dylan is on Kelly's shit list. Kelly's always been posessive when it came to Dylan...even when she wasn't with him.

I think they couldn't have both Brandon and Dylan with facial hair, so they let Luke keep his since he was going for that "I'm too poor to shave" look.

I remember the summer right before season five, there was one of those MTV new break and it was announced that Tiffani was taking over the role of Brenda. I remember talking about it at the time. Of course we later found out they developed a whole new character.
