Totally agree that having Andrea drop journalism like that was dumb. Why? What great story did they end up doing that they couldn’t have done with her pursuing journalism? None. The only time it ever tied in with anything was when she was working in the lab with the animals and Brenda got involved with the animal rights group. I agree GC was one of the better actresses on the show. She did a good job with what she was given. My favorite moment of hers is when she tells off Mr. Myers after he tries to push her aside as editor. Anyway, I’m still enjoying all the promos coming out for the new show. Won’t be long now.

I think it’s probably extensions mixed in with her hair. It doesn’t look that full in her regular Instagram posts. It’s awesome how close they got it to her season 3 look. I would’ve liked to have seen Jennie with the flowy hair she had senior year/freshman year of college.

This pic is fun...they dressed the ladies up in their 90’s looks. Check out Shannen Doherty! With that hair and makeup she looks exactly the same!! Gabrielle looks pretty close but she’s obviously older. I don’t think Jennie looks as much like her old self, the hair is a little off. And Tori’s had so much work done she just looks like a weird version of herself. But again, Shannen!

Ok, so yesterday or the day before I saw a clip on Instagram of some quick scenes from the new show. Tori and BAG were dancing at the Pit, a few other quick snippets, then at the the end Jennie and Jason were in bed, looking at the ceiling, and Jennie says “Wow!” Today I went back to look at it again and it’s gone. Poof. Maybe it was an IG story and that’s why it disappeared but I could’ve sworn it was a regular post. Maybe they weren’t supposed to share it yet! I am still very curious how the new show will be, how they will handle Luke, etc. I am encouraged by some things Brian said in one of his podcasts, that they will indeed have scenes as their characters, and that they may even do some stand alone episodes as the characters. I think he said it would be towards the end or into season 2. Does anyone follow the 9021bro on Instagram? His name is Darren and he has been a die hard fan and collector for years. Apparently the cast invited him to appear in the new show. He posted some fun pictures with them. I thought that was awesome of them to include him.

Aww! I love this picture so much.

Carol Potter said on her Instagram that she was filming an episode. Yay! I’m getting excited.

Lol! That was a good song and I stand by it! They just made him play it 743 times during the show. Of course the reruns cut them all out anyway.

I learned from someone on this forum that BAG has a podcast...I’ve only listened to a couple episodes but I thought this was a good one to share. He talks a lot about Luke. It’s from a couple months ago, probably just a few weeks after Luke passed.

I’m still working through the season 5 eps on my dvr. I’m about at the part with Dylan’s hypnosis and the past life stuff. The thing is, all the soul mate stuff and him pining for Kelly just doesn’t jive with the way they broke up. He was over it and did not seem torn up AT ALL when they broke up at the end of season 4. It wasn’t until season 5 when he finds her with Brandon, and then later after the fire, when he starts pining. It’s like he just forgot how miserable she made him. On another note, I think they did a nice job with the story of David’s mom going missing and him finding her homeless and learning about her mental illness. BAG did a good job with the material and I found it pretty moving. I also appreciated a nice scene that I had totally forgotten about between Andrea and Brandon. It’s when she and Jesse are separated and she’s afraid they’re going to divorce and Brandon comes to see her. She talks about how she somehow backed away from things since high school like Yale and the school paper, etc and kind of felt like a failure. Brandon is sweetly supportive. And I’m glad they mentioned those things she dropped because when they happened they seemed so out of character for her. But her speaking of it with regret kind of helps put a little closure on it. Anyway, it’s a nice moment for the characters.

I absolutely love that two of the biggest movie stars on the planet were star struck by Luke Perry. (The only thing I don’t get is Brad’s comment about Luke being an icon when he was a teen. He’s older than Luke and wouldn’t have been a teen during 90210. But maybe he was just speaking generally or including Leo in his comment, who actually would’ve been a teen then.) Anyway, I love their comments about him. https://people.com/movies/brad-pitt-leonardo-dicaprio-felt-like-kids-working-luke-perry/

I don’t think anyone can argue with Maelyn’s win; she sang so consistently well during her whole run. She sounded like a total professional up there with Sarah Mc. I liked Andrew the the best out of Blake’s team, and like others on here I found Gyth underwhelming. He did well with Hootie and the Blowfish, though. Darius Rucker’s voice sounds as strong as it did back in the day. I thought the skit about Kelly’s clubhouse and John’s song about getting blocked were cute.

I’m rooting for Maelyn and she did great with all her songs, but for the love of all that is good in the world, would someone PLEASE rescind the rights to Hallelujah so no one on this show or any other singing show can ever, ever do it again? Please? Pretty please?

That article was totally reading too much into a couple of social media posts just to further the drama. Jennie wished Tori a happy birthday, and Tori showed a pic of her eating cupcakes with Jennie and Jason. The end. There may very well be drama onset but Jennie and Tori did not “address the drama” like the headline says. Shannen expressed her frustration with fake headlines on her Instagram page and I can’t blame her. She’s in a tough spot because even if she isn’t causing any problems (And I don’t know if she is or not) people are going to automatically assume she is because of the past, and articles like that just feed into it. Edited to add I saw those birthday posts when they originally appeared and it didn’t occur to me at all they were secretly referring to the drama. Seemed like innocent posts to me.

I liked Jesse originally. I hated that plot. It was just bad writing for him. He was fine when we met him, he played softball and had buddies, plus his big family as mentioned above. He was smart and independent. Staying with Dylan made no sense. As they used to say on Mystery Science Theater, “Welcome to another edition of Plot Convenience Playhouse.” Val’s character was all over the map. It was infuriating at times but she could be entertaining and Tiffani did a good job with the craziness she was given. I watched the house party fire episode today and one detail I had forgotten about was that Ray totally saves Steve, Val, Allison’s girlfriend, and others from the fire and is willing to go back in for Kelly until Steve stops him, and I don’t think it’s even mentioned again later. I’m sure the dude had inhaled a bunch of smoke to help save the avocado heads, and no one thanks him because they are too worried about Kelly’s neck burns and that she might not model anymore. On a positive note, Andrea looked really pretty in those string of episodes. I’m glad they rectified her terrible freshman year hair.

I love that new promo with the theme song. So fun.
