And We Might See Them Again

Proposing spinoffs for one-and-done characters we weren't quite done with.

I would say that almost all the People of Color should have spinoffs... Vivica A. Fox, Jordan Bonner (maybe we can mix timelines and he goes to school with Rory Gilmore), the kid whose dad is the librarian and yells at Brandon (my personal hero).  I also really would have loved to see Susan's Campaign '96... though she wasn't a one/done character.

Jordan was the best.

Reviving this to talk about Elaine Joyce, who played Candace, the realtor for the Walsh house. (She was also a well-respected Broadway legend in her prime). Turns out, she married Neil Simon after her stint as Brandon's realtor. And now, she is Neil Simon's extremely wealthy widow- he left her two luxury apartments, $12 million cash and all of his manuscripts. You go Candace! You may have been a shitty realtor, but look at you now!

And Burt Reynolds, as himself. Would have still been a better regular character than Noah or Matt:

Funny enough, I heard the new CW show “All American” being discussed on the Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast (where Sarah & Tara have appeared), and its premise of a Black high school football player transferring from Crenshaw to Beverly Hills reminded of all the good Black guest stars on 90210. It totally could have been a spin-off back in the day.

Slumber Party being directly underneath this topic reminds me of something I've always wondered: why didn't Amanda Peyser ever come back? All I want is her commentary on post-Cool Kelly and St. Donna.

I just started watching “All American” and the affable blond secondary character guy is the “Steve” to me since I don’t care enough to find out the character name. He’s even wearing a Hawaiian shirt in the beginning of episode 4. Hee!
