Their scenes together in that episode were really good and truly set up this epic friendship where you have two people from different backgrounds but ultimately similar in their need to have their parents in their life (but Dylan keeping those feelings bottled up)

To me, he always seemed more open about his feelings and needs than Brandon.

Me too. I miss their friendship so much. Both Jason/Luke and Brandon/Dylan.

Hmm that's a tough one to call.

I always think of that big scene in season 2 where Brandon screams in pain at his cousin Bobby for refusing to open up to him about the accident which left him paralyzed. Jason was incredible in that scene, showing how ashamed and scared Brandon truly felt knowing he somehow played a part in that.

Whereas I feel that Dylan and Brandon's very first episode together established a secrecy with Dylan. Brandon was very curious about Dylan's home life and Dylan basically put on this facade as a party guy, to cover up the fact of how miserable and alone he actually felt.

That moment at the end of the episode where he tries to call his dad but it goes through to voicemail really showcased him as an isolated figure.

I have to agree with Esma on this one.

Dylan immediately opens up to Brenda and also at the end of season 1 he tells the Walshes that they are like family to him.

Whereas Brandon is more reserved and cautious.

I think Brandon felt he had a lot to prove, with Jim's high expectations of him.

So yes I can see why you'd say that

Dylan had no parental figure to answer to, so he grew up much quicker and was very outspoken as a result.

Any time Brandon tried to tell Jim that he was struggling in school, he wasn't taken very seriously. I think it's sad. It also explains why Brandon kept his gambling addiction from Jim for so long

This could have been a way to explore and let Brandon explode and have some dramatic scenes.
They put him to much on the golden boy status and the one who never do wrong.

That is true and even as a big fan of Brandon, I can agree that they tried too hard to make him the flawless leader of the pack.

When in actual fact, he was struggling more than people realised.

Remember that episode in season one when he cheats on an exam because of the pushy teacher and Jim having ridiculously high expectations of him?

I felt so sorry for Brandon in that episode. It was a very relatable situation for a lot of students in real life who succumb to peer pressure.
