The first sign of the apocalypse is here: Jennie Garth joins the cast of 90210 update.
Who greenlit this? I get that the producers want to link this horrible idea to the original, but Kelly Taylor as the West Beverly Guidance Counselor? I think Tori Spelling as the MILF was a better idea. Let’s see, a student walks into Ms. Taylor’s office and tells her that she is having guy problems and is jealous of her best friend’s relationship with her boyfriend. Ms. T, in all her infinite wisdom, suggests that the student wait until the summer when the BFF is shipped off to Europe and then sex up the boyfriend at The Beverly Hills Beach Club. Later that day, a Sophomore comes to Ms. T for issues surrounding her diet plan. Kelly, no stranger to “problem areas” herself, prescribes over the counter appetite suppressents and severe bitchitude so the student can pass out in an overly dramatic fashion on the floor of The Peach Pit at her birthday party. During last period, a Junior asks Ms. T for advice on dealing with her cocaine-addicted artist boyfriend. “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em!” Ms. T replies cheerfully as she hands the student a month’s supply of black nailpolish.
For real, Rob Thomas, is this the West Bev Alum you want shaping the minds of impressional students in the 90210 (and the 90212)?
