Quotes;


E! True Hollywood Story: Beverly Hills 90210
1991 iNTERVIEW


Shannen: We're a gutsy show.We're not shying away from these controversial issues that we should be dealing with, because we're speaking to like millions and millions of people out there that are gonna be watching our show.
Luke: Mhm.

Shannen: [Looking over at Luke, who is off screen]Luke and I were pushing the uh, sex issue(laughing), we're sort of wanting it to come very fast. But...ooh, that didn't sound right(laughs again)


Soap Opera Magazine Interviews: November 1998

SOM: Would you ever like to see Dylan and Brenda (Shannen Doherty, who's currently starring on Charmed on the WB network) receive some on-air closure?
LP: I don't want them to ever get married. I don't think that Dylan will ever get married again. In terms of having some kind of closure, yes, I think that's something viewers would like to see. That door is always open.

SOM: What are the chances Shannen Doherty will make a return to the show before it goes off the air?
LP: Heres the rule in the world of Aaron Spelling: Nothing is impossible. Everything can be done. I would say that its up to Shannen. Ive never been able to read her mind or speak for her. I can tell you that I care about the girl a great deal. I imagine at some point theyll ask her. Can you imagine the ratings on that one?


T H E I R C H E M I S T R Y ;



All about Luke and Shannen!



Luke & Shannen;




MEDIA SENSATIONS ;





"During that episode, broadcast on May 2nd, 1991, Brenda and Dylan sneak out of the srping dance to consemate their relationship. After this turning point, viewers couldn't wait to see who slept with whom from week to week."
Narrator

"West Bev's Romeo and Juliet tragically split when Dylan (Luke Perry) cheated with Kelly while Brenda (Shannen Doherty) was in France, but memories of their dangerous, romantic surfing trips to Baja persist."
The Hottest Young Couples on TV (TV Guide)

"In a February show, love-bunnies Dylan and Brenda celebrated the Sideburned Guy's 90th day of sobriety by attending an AA meeting — Brenda's first. Afterward, she said happily, ''That was kind of intense and fun at the same time'' — it was a sweet, funny moment."
TV Review (EW.com)

"Beverly Hills, 90210 heartthrobs Dylan (Luke Perry) and Brenda (Shannen Doherty) will get busted when her parents find out they've spent all day-and all night-together in Baja California. By coincidence, this will happen during May ratings sweeps."
Flashes: March 13, 1992 (Entertainment Weekly)

"The gang celebrates their 20-year high-school reunion where finally, the actors can portray characters closer to their own age! I would especially love to see Brenda – played by Shannen Doherty – travelling from London to L.A. to film a movie… you see where this is going, don’t you? She bumps into Dylan, who is married to Kelly, and the two reminisce about old times. This leads to a heated love triangle, and Brenda and Dylan fans get their prayers answered."
TV Shows That Would Make Great Movies - 5. Beverly Hills, 90210 (TV Guide)

"Chuck and Blair (phenomenally played by Ed Westwick and Leighton Meester, respectively) cemented their status as the most incendiary, riveting teen couple since Dylan and Brenda."
Yahoo! TV Blog, December 12, 2008 (Tim Stack, TV Experts Pick Their Favorite TV Moment of 2008)

"I’m sure that with the new 90210 set to premiere this fall, many of us who grew up watching the original series have been thinking about the decade-long series. I was in the seventh grade when the series first premiered and I recall thinking that Brenda and Dylan’s relationship was like the most important thing ever."
Blend Television (Kelly West)

''Moreover, her[Shannen's] costars have gone from vilifying her (as Gabrielle Carteris did when she was quoted as saying, ''What goes around, comes around'') to speaking on her behalf. ''I'm saddened by the whole situation,'' says Luke Perry.''
Entertainment Weekly, March 4, 1994

"Though I'm thrilled with the prospect of Luke Perry joining the party, my heart would sing if he ended his guest arc by running off with Brenda."
Zap2it (Korbi TV)

"New 90210? How can you top Brenda and Dylan? I don’t see it happening."
-Theexactly.com (Zac Lee)

"In the 1980s and 1990s, the super-coupling plot trend spilled over into primetime, catering to both ends of the demographic spectrum. Dynasty's Blake and Krystle were king and queen of the midlife crisis party, while Beverly Hills 90210's Brenda and Dylan were lip-locked - and longing for eachother - back at the prom."
SOAPnet (Jason Bonderoff)

''Just take one hit. You don't even have to inhale.'' -Peter (Luke Perry) to Wendy (Shannen Doherty) in their '60s fantasy, on Beverly Hills, 90210
SOUND BITES: Funniest Lines from week April 2 to 7

"When it comes to love, are TV writers a bunch of cynics? It sure seems that way. From “Beverly Hills, 90210’s” Brenda & Dylan, to “Dawson’s Creek’s” Joey and Dawson, to Buffy and Angel, and everything in between, TV writers never give audiences what we want: a happy ending for the two lovers who we are told early on are “soulmates” and “meant to be.”
SOAPnet

"On “Beverly Hills, 90210,” in the season 4 finale, Brenda Walsh tells the love of her life, Dylan McKay “I wont be away forever, give me something to come back to,” which leads the audience to think that there’s hope for the show’s “It” couple, but in the series finale 6 years later, Dylan ends up with Brenda’s friend, Kelly Taylor. So what’s the point of making these shows about these couples?"
Fundamentals of Interactive Journalism (Lee Hernandez)

"Too bad Luke Perry is incapable of “re-imagining” his role on the spinoff. Brenda Walsh and Dylan McKay, back together? That would have been gold."
TV Guide (Chloe Tse)

"Also, Brandon (Jason Priestley) shepherds a Little Man Tate-like prodigy (Benjamin Smith) around California University's campus, and the ever-troubled Dylan (Luke Perry) agrees to undergo dream therapy. Though Brenda probably still enters Dylan's nocturnal unconscious, don't expect Shannen Doherty to pop up in a dream sequence."
The Week, April 14, 1995

"But, for me, the real "get" would be a Shannen Doherty-Luke Perry twofer. Wouldn't it be awesome to have those two show up — straight from London or wherever they shipped Brenda off to — newly married and shoving their contemptuous passion in Kelly's smug face? I bet Kelly wouldn't "choose me" then!"
Luke Perry: No to 90210 Nuevo, June 27, 2008 (Mickey O'Connor)

"Then Dylan and Brenda begin to date in a charismatic romance that feels like the stuff of legend;"
Beverly Hills, 90210: Television, Gender, and Identity(E. Graham McKinley)

"When Brenda (Shannen Doherty) tells Dylan she might be pregnant, even though they have used a condom, he responds, "I'll do everything I can to help and support you. It's my problem, too." This is a pretty mature and dreamy, ideal reaction."
New York Times


''As for the tantalizingly tormented relationship between Brenda (Shannen Doherty) and Dylan (Luke Perry), 90210's producers, who obviously recognize a good plot hook, are giving nothing away.''
The 1991 Fall TV Preview: Thursday, Entertainment Weekly

Did you have a favorite character growing up?
Dylan McKay, obviously. Every girl's fantasy, right? And I loved Brenda too.
Oh, good, you’re a Brenda girl, not a Kelly girl.
Noooo.
Kelly stole Dylan, so...
Thank you! I was waiting for them to get back together forever, and then she was gone and it's a sad, sad story. Dylan and Brenda should have been together forever.
“They both had this careless air of cool, you just kinda wanted to be their friends. And of course my favorite storylines were anytime those two got back together.”
Shenae Grimes, on favorite characters being Dylan and Brenda

''The O.C.'''s first budding romance, between bad boy Ryan and good-girl-next-door Marissa (Mischa Barton), echoes the naughty-and-nice Dylan-Brenda hookup. And Luke Perry endured endless comparisons to James Dean, a name that's come up almost as much as Russell Crowe in reference to McKenzie."
Orange Alert, September 1, 2003, Entertainment Weekly

""Isn't It Romantic?" is another major step in the development of "90210" from earnest family drama into a melodrama with a continuing story. The biggest demonstration of that, of course, is the big leap forward in the relationship of Brenda and Dylan. While there was chemistry before, this episode establishes them as a couple, and gives them both a solid emotional connection; Brenda is feeling something close to love, and hitherto cool customer Dylan reveals his pained and lonely side."
Ohio.com (Rich Heldenfels)

"She was as whiny as he was James Dean-wannabe cool, but who didn't begrudgingly root for Brenda (Shannen Doherty) and her hot '90210' bad boy (Luke Perry)? The two were a match made in teen TV heaven."
Greatest TV Couples of All Time - AOL Television - 19. Brenda and Dylan

"For a while, her antics on the show with Luke Perry made them America's No. 1 couple, the subject of endless gossip and national fascination."
FHM Article on Shannen

The whole "Beverly Hills 90210" gang (except Brenda and Dylan, whom I like to imagine were off somewhere, making out on his motorcycle) got together Friday night to celebrate the DVD release of Season 1 of the show that launched their careers back in 1990
People Magazine

"Dylan is Brenda' s sometime boyfriend. Brenda and Dylan had sex once, at the end of this year's school session. Brenda thought she might be pregnant but wasn't. She decided she wasn't ready for sex. She decided she wasn't for Dylan. They're now in romance limbo, pining and unsure. While network types wrestle with just how much controversial sex is enough-but not too much-in the season to come (now that more advertiser eyes are watching), eight trillion teenagers understand Brenda and Dylan. Totally."
Beverly Hills, 90210: Top Of The Class (Entertainment Weekly )

"Moreover, the series has floundered creatively and has no irresistible Dylan-Brenda couple to root for."
Los Angeles Times, about the 90210 spin-off

"Brenda and Dylan's unzip code has kids tuning in to Beverly Hills, 90210 — and their parents freaking out."
100 Most Memorable TV Moments - 99. BRENDA AND DYLAN DO IT (5/2/91

"What event defines the 1990s for you? Was it the day the Dow Jones industrial average crossed the 10,000-point mark? Bill Clinton’s admission of an inappropriate relationship with a White House intern? Or was it that fateful prom night when Brenda Walsh lost her virginity to Dylan McKay?"
When Teenage Angst Has Its Own ZIP Code, August 29, 2008 (The New York Times)

"The relationship arc between Dylan and Brenda is given precious little screen time over the course of the first season, but it resulted in one of the most mature and optimistic depictions of teen sex ever shown on television."
Marisa Meltzer, Slate.com

"Truthfully, with the exception of Luke Perry - who has no plans to come back - I don't think the idea of anyone returning makes me nearly as excited as Shannen's did."
It's All About Doherty, NY Post, July 13, 2009

"I was so excited by Dylan's call that I didn't even mind that he never made an appearance, because he called Brenda before Kelly."
Starpulse

"Now Rosario Dawson has further endeared herself to me by telling a reporter that as a child she obsessed over "Beverly Hills, 90210" -- even going as far to send Luke Perry a love letter, and Shannen Doherty a hate letter."
NY Post, July 13, 2009

"After two weeks of (lame) Beverly Hills, 90210 episodes, things are finally starting to heat up! Having aired almost 15 years ago, I forgot how preachy 90210 was in its infancy. With all its morality lessons, early 90210 episodes felt less like MELROSE PLACE, and more like 7th Heaven (not a good thing).That said, today’s episode featured the memorable first date (and kiss!) of Dylan and Brenda. Only 90210 could manage such an unforgettable first date. In a span of 44 minutes, Dylan transforms from loner bad-boy to Brenda’s steady boyfriend.So excited for more Brenda/Dylan madness - the spring fling, the trip to Tiujana, it just gets better and better. Too bad they don’t have a good ‘Brangelina’ name, I don’t think ‘Brylan’ really works!"
~ REWIND: Brenda & Dylan TheTVAddict

"He was moody. He had a drinking problem. He looked like a TV version of James Dean. And yet we couldn't resist his on-again-off-again relationship with Brenda, the clueless new kid from Minnesota. We even forgave him for hooking up with Kelly while Brenda was out of town ... sort of."
11. Dylan McKay -AOL Television's "Top 20 TV Bad Boys

8. BRENDA WALSH and DYLAN MCKAY, BEVERLY HILLS, 90210, 1991. Prom night deflowering made it to TV, and unlike the movies, 90210 had no knife-wielding maniac stalking the halls-just anxiety, fear, self-doubt, and even some actual passion. The result: TV's first depiction of teen sex that didn't sound completely like a public-service announcement.
~ Entertainment Weekly: The Best Sex Tv's Ever Had

9. Brenda Walsh and Dylan McKay (Beverly Hills 90210)
"I think almost anyone that watched the show was secretly rooting for the two of them. Through the course of the first season alone they explored the issues that come up when friends like the same guy, what it is like to date your brothers best friend, a father against the relationship, losing your virginity, and a pregnancy scare. This was a great teen couple and their relationship, during that period of time, gave you a look at what it is like to be young and in love.
-Michelle Moore-Barrett, Associated Content

Valentine's 14 Favourite TV Couples By Tania Hussain
12. Brenda and Dylan (Beverly Hills, 90210): Brenda and Dylan were the epitome of high school love; the sweet and thriving good girl and with the brooding James Dean-ish guy made not only for great ratings with the teen demographic but were a match made in TV heaven. The two of them loved each other no matter what and despite not ending up together much to Kelly Taylor’s doing, the two of them will always have a place in each other’s hearts for one another. Afterall, in The CW version of the new 90210, Brenda and Dylan got back together briefly.

Valentine's Day on a Budget? No Problem! 7. Donate blood together, and don't tell your special guy or gal you stole the idea from Dylan and Brenda on 90210.
"Remember that Beverly Hills 90210 (the original one...the good one) episode where Brenda and Dylan plan a nice romantic Valentine's Day but before they get on with the festivities, he takes her to go and donate blood? You, too, can be like them!"
Examiner.com

"When Beverly Hills 90210 was in its first generation, Dylan gave Brenda some clues about his Valentine's Day plan: warm, red and close to your heart. Despite having bags of money, he wasn't buying the hoopla. Instead he took Brenda to donate blood together. The brooding bad boy wasn't one to join the pack, or risk tacky romance. And teddy bears the size of obese children, for instance, run that risk."
National Times, The little things are the keys to romance, February 12, 2010


Top 5 des couples nunuches de séries tv[/B] A premičre vue, cette vidéo semble la plus cucul et la plus mal jouée du monde. "So you're Brandon's sister, huh ?" "Yeah, I'm Brandon's sister." Mais je peux te jurer qu’ŕ l’époque Beverly Hills 90210 était LA série et Brenda & Dylan le seul, le vrai, l’unique couple qui devait durer pour toujours (Kelly si tu me lis…). Alors forcément, du haut de mes 13 ans, je gloussais bętement dčs qu’ils se parlaient dans le couloir du lycée (oui bon c’était de mon âge) et je m’étais juste effondrée quand Brenda avait quitté la série en laissant Dylan dans les bras de Kelly.. ~

"I have Brenda and Dylan from 90210. I just loved it. Dylan, that bad boy, reckless, dangerous loner and the good girl, twin Brenda Walsh, they were so cute together. She softened Dylan a little bit, her love softened him. I really, I enjoyed them. I especially enjoyed them when Jim tried to break those two up and Brenda moved in with Dylan, that was just too hood. I was like "Ooh I would do that, and my mom was like 'the hell you will.'

“Doherty has filmed scenes for a total of four episodes (two down, two to go). She’s currently pitching a new show and didn’t want to commit to doing more. She is reportedly open to doing more in the future however. If Dylan returns to Beverly Hills, you can just bet that Brenda will be back as well. Stay tuned!”

"And Shannen's big smile is a mankiller: it's easy to understand why Dylan McKay fell so hard for her!"
Jeff Rovin, author of Luke-Mania! Jason-Fever!, 1991

“I watched the original show when I was growing up and started to watch the new series to see how similar or different it was. It doesn't live up to the Brenda and Dylan days, but as a new series, it does have an edge to it that leaves viewers wanting more.”
Review On The New 90210 (Veronica Ouellette)

"Not only do the actors want each and every episode to be as good as it can be, but both Luke and Shannen obviously don't mind in the least having to go through it al over again. The chemistry they have together is real and very exciting."

"The most satisfying twist to many longtime viewers was the off-screen reunion of lovebirds Dylan and Brenda."
Gen X TV: The Brady Bunch to Melrose Place, 1999 (Rob Owen)

“Dylan and Brenda’s relationship is one of the more heartfelt teen love affairs ever to be illustrated on the small screen, with all the drama and significance of your first boyfriend.”
TubaTV

“Brenda (Shannon Doherty) and Dylan (Luke Perry) made an awesome couple that faced common relationship problems that many teenagers face, namely a parental figure that wants to keep them apart. But despite their trials, they made it work. That is, until some backstabbing on Kelly and Dylan’s part saw to the eventual breakup between Dylan and Brenda. Where Brenda held the line and stood up to Dylan, Kelly just let him spiral into chaos.”
11 Couples That Should Never Have “Gotten Together”, #11 Dylan and Kelly, Dec 27th 2010 (Caryn K. Hayes)

“Since 1991, when Brenda lost her virginity with Dylan at the spring dance on Beverly Hills, 90210, teenagers have been having sex on television. At the time, the subject matter was so controversial that the 90210 writers created a pregnancy scare in the next episode, which caused Brenda to realize she wasn't ready for a sexual relationship. Yet Brenda and Dylan did conceive that night at the dance: Their child is the teen soap—and where there are school-age children, there are virgins about to be deflowered.”
Virginity Lost, Slate.com (Kate Aurthur)

”It was a classic story of the 'good girl' and the 'bad boy' falling in love. Dylan(Luke Perry) and Brenda(Shannen Doherty) were the it couple at Beverly Hills High, and it brought a lot of drama with it. Dealing with the social issues of the time, the story line of Brenda and Dylan brought up controversial issues such as safe sex. Unfortunately our starcrossed teen love didn't last, but whenever you hear "90210" you always remember Brenda and Dylan.”
Most Memorable TV Couples Of The 90s, Feb 3 2011 (Associated Content)

"Spelling approached her earlier this year with the idea of returning to 90210, which in its ninth season is already about two cycles past its prime. Doherty declined, although she says she might make a special appearance for a season finale."
Time Magazine

“Call us romantics, but we think it’d be so cool if these old school lovers got it back together for reals. Their careers have gone similarly, he’s been doing TV cameos too, and he even went full-frontal on HBO’s prison drama Oz. Dylan and Brenda were hot on screen on the original 90210 and you know they still carry the torch for the years they spent together. "
Shannen Doherty: Straight To The Top Of The C-List, TheFrisky.com


“The vast majority center on Brenda and her on-again/off-again love affair with local bad-as Dylan McKay (Luke Perry). They’re breaking up, they’re having sex, they’re fighting with each other, they’re moving in together – this little couple is really put through the ringer this season, and while this writer found most of their interactions to be redundant and one-note, I can understand why they remain at the epicenter of the series.

What’s intellectually interesting about the Brenda/Dylan relationship (and yes, I did just use the term "intellectually interesting" in a review of Beverly Hills 90210 - bet you didn’t see that one coming) is its most often utilized plot conventions: how does a family keep its kid from getting involved with the wrong crowd? Dylan McKay is sexy, smoldering, and more than interested in getting into Brenda’s pants. So what do you do to make her change her mind about feeling the same way about him?

Yeah, it’s more than a little ridiculous to see pretty boy Brandon try to stand up for his sister in this situation. I guess I should be more open-minded, but I don’t understand how anyone could take Brandon seriously with that bang-heavy hairstyle of his. But it’s all anyone can do. Rebellious girls who grow up with silver spoons hanging from their mouths often grow up wanting to experience the "other" – the anti-rich & famous lifestyle.”
DVDFILE.com, Beverly Hills 90210: The Third Season

"Upset, Dylan starts to get a drink but Brenda stops him — since he has to drive her home. They argue, yell, and finally Dylan breaks down in tears. "Dad just gets to me," he says. Brenda is touched by his vulnerability and pain. They hug and kiss. Dylan takes her home, but they have connected."

When Shannen Doherty said she was ending her acting run on the new "90210" to work on other projects, we didn't realize that meant unsolicited freelance writing for the new "90210." But sure enough, Brenda Walsh has been noodling over what the show should do about the Dylan McKay situation -- and she's got the answers, whether the "90210" staff wants them or not. Shannen told OK! magazine that Luke Perry "emphatically said no," to reprising his "90210" role despite learning that his character fathered Kelly Taylor's Steve Sanders-looking baby. BUT, she explains, it's no biggie. "[Kelly Taylor] can be a single mom. He's out of her life, maybe she goes and visits him and comes back and says 'I want to raise this child on my own.'"

If she does return, that's also okay; gone are the days when Perry allegedly refused to work with her. He temporarily becomes a family therapist: "Yeah, there was a time when I kicked her dressing-room door off and said, 'Shan, let's fix things.' And we did. I can work with her fine now. I don't have to get Shannen out of my sight so I can work, no . If she bothers me the day she comes in and she's late, I let her have it. I think that's why Shannen and I have the relationship that we do."
Entertainment Weekly: March 11, 1994 "Luke Before He Leaps" By Lisa Schwarzbaum

''You want Brenda to have sex with Brandon's adorably broody pal Dylan (Perry)? All right — done! Oh, wait — you say that was going too far, too soon? Okay, forget that episode — they'll never do it again. Or at least they'll never talk about it in front of you. ''
TV Review, Entertainment Weekly, '92

Which character on Beverly Hills 90210 would you most want as a best friend?
1. Dylan (Luke Perry)
2. Brenda (Shannen Doherty)

''Pouting pays: Beverly Hills 90210 viewers would rather warm up to dour Dylan and brooding Brenda than eternally optimistic Brandon — though all three have a substantial edge over their West Beverly High pals. There's a marked gender gap here: Men are eager to trade sideburn-grooming tips with Dylan, while women would be happier hanging out with Brenda.''

Yessss!!! I'm going to repost this because I don't want peeps to miss this It's just to good not too and plus if anyone wants to quote and reply its here so you don't have to go back and forth :wink:

So I found a 90210 podcast which by the way you guys should check out, its pretty hilarious at times. I've only listened to the episodes I was curious what they say about. They go through and pick apart the episode, have guests and pick best dressed 90's style and have a hilarious best of Brenda lines. Anyway interesting listening which these were recent, like Mr. Walsh goes to Washington being just done 7/2017. Anyway Charles Rosen answers questions or gives a inside scoop to every episode either in person or through the email. I listened to the podcast about The child is a father to the man, Dylan's dad's funeral episode. So Chuck Rosen says that the writers had originally planned to have Dylan...go to Brenda's arms because she was the one who always helped him and connected with him, unlike Kelly who would show her self centered shallow nature. It was a go to have them get back together...then because of Shannen's recent behavior in the press and being late Chuck Rosen...changed his mind and Dylan...stayed with Kelly. He finishes by saying...Oh what might have been. CRAZY right??? They had actually planned to get them back together so early on, but almost to punish Shannen they didn't. Then she hated the mid half of S3 because of the triangle and her character losing Dylan she started acting out more, which led to questions in her contract. By the start of s4 they had renewed her but then the cast would come to Aaron Spelling and say she's got to go. Even though when S4 was half over, she was on her best behavior and the writers and everyone had second thoughts. She ended up leaving some what mutually with Aaron...Shannen probably wanting to do other things and getting out of the already hairy relationships she had developed. Interesting huh. I knew some of this but NOT the intention of Kelly and Dylan being so short term. They thought it would have been the perfect time for their reconciliation because they always knew Brenda was better fitted with Dylan. And they were going to show Kelly's inability to connect with him, and be there for him because of her selfishness.

Honestly they kind of still did that. I mean Dylan and Brenda do reconnect, and S4 as we see shows BD get very close as friends...even leaning towards there still being feelings involved. Then when asked why they left BD with a cliff hanger in the season finale he said, the intention was for them to always have an open door with one another. He said they wanted to get Shannen back for season 6 and would have paid a boat load to do so, but she had started Charmed and Chuck Rosen left after season 5. Isn't that INSANE to think of the possibilities and what really honestly could have been. Us as BD fans always say they were end game...but they honestly really were. Honestly gives new meaning about this scene and episode. Especially because it obviously changed later on and still kept them connecting.

They did. it did not have to be said explicitly in order for us to see it. Brenda was there for him while Kelly was mainly concerned about herself and losing connection with Dylan. Dylan staying with Kelly was out of stretch.

But anyway, I would not take him back that soon!

I heard about that possibility before, but I think it would have made Dylan even worse.

See I totally disagree...just opinion I guess...by carrying out their relationship longer it made them a little bit more serious. I mean it would be believable that Dylan would go through this tragedy and Brenda would forgive him because "in the grand scheme of things" losing him wasn't like losing a father. She would see him through it like she always did and then they would be together for senior year. By KD lasting through it made them a high school couple too. And we all know Brenda and Dylan are the epitome of first love, high school sweethearts. Also it wouldn't be that far left for him to truly believe he made a mistake. By him waiting pretty much until Little Fish...after not getting along with Kelly by the way...it seemed worse. That's just my take on it. In all honesty the most perfect time for Dylan and Brenda to get back together was the season finale of season 4...and then to pick up in season 5...but hey not going to happen in Shannen world. But that probably would have been the best time...if you kept the rest of the series the same. Obviously it would have been the best if the summer of deception/betrayal never freaking happened at all but anyway

Since I started watching 90210 in 6th grade...so I was 11 yrs old...turning 12. (crazy to think about) I graduated 8th grade...going into high school in 1993...the same year the gang graduated high school. My first love was a boy named Mark. We started "end of 7th grade" dating and it lasted until the end of my freshman year. I was CRAZY about him. In junior high and excuse me when I say this but I was boy crazy early...Mark's best friend was this kid named Albert. I liked Albert for reasons that had nothing to do with Mark. Mark was a Dylan...soft spoken, wrote me love letters, smart, romantic. Albert was fun, a good dancer smooth and liked me...made me mixed tapes and was more like a David Silver. I had my own little triangle. it was brief but at one point I broke it off with Mark and started dating his friend. Now my feelings for Mark was way strong, intense...innocent physical but I realized he was the one for me. We got back together, the boys stayed friends and I ended up dating him into high school AND I had my own SPRING DANCE moment in high school as well. If I would have dragged out that relationship with Albert...more feelings would have been hurt and maybe the guys wouldn't have stayed friendly. I cried and begged and apologized that I had made a HUGE mistake and because Mark's first love feelings were real and the same he took me back...something we KNOW Brenda would have done too. Just a little example. Let me also remind you these BFF's also had a fist fight LOL at my Halloween party that 8th grade and didn't talk for a little while. They made up though and all was fine because Albert knew we were "in love" Awwww to be young again.

As you can see my life paralleled this show so much. I graduated high school when they graduated college. We used to have viewing parties with the girls with dinner etc. This show lol seriously defined my life LOL And I'll tell you what...about 8/9 years ago, we had a reunion...I saw Mark and we had a moment exactly like Brenda and Dylan in this episode. We were super young but thought fondly of one another. He is married and has a kid, I was married at the time and had a kid and we loved each other still. It was a TRUE first love experience that you'll always remember. Super crazy. I think his exact line to me at that reunion on the balcony I know cliche...was...it was real (wasn't it), very the notebook line, which I'm pretty sure he hadn't seen, if it was even out yet Pretty fantastic LOL There was a lot of feelings left even though we had grown up and moved on. It just wouldn't go away now being in our thirties. I'm not married anymore but if we started hanging out again and he was divorced etc, I would NO doubt go out with him again LOL So crazy to think about. Mark even asked me at the reunion, why did we even break up, I was so in love with you...and I said you dumped me...for that **** Melissa...he responded No I didn't. I was like yes Mark...yes you freaking did funny story though LOL What can I say...I met my Dylan much like Brenda...when we were way too young

I just looked up and listened and Chuck or anything you mentioned didn't come up. The only guy there was a producer (of another show) whose husband was an extra in an ep.

Well, if Dylan had got back with Brenda at the Jack's funeral he would have seemed like a man who was not able to stick to his own choices. That is not a guy I want for Brenda. I mean, he was definitely not that guy in S3 anyway.

And if Brenda had taken him back, she would have seemed as a weak needy woman. I actually think she would not have trusted him enough to get him back at that point, even if he had asked her.

What I wish is that she got more credits from him. He only told her she would not be just some girl he knew back in high school - bleh, it was not much. We knew that, it would not have been possible otherwise. "You will always be special for me" would have been better.

But everything they showed without words was quite powerful. She was able to see him more than anyone else around. He was not able to cry or find any peace until he talked to her.

Personally, I don't think they should have gotten back together at Jack's funeral. Dylan was very emotional and could not make a rational decision.

Yeah, up until that point it was the most vulnerable day of his life.

Guess I'm the odd man out lol I think I would have dug it because well everything would've been different. And I wasn't saying like get back together that day or anything...just getting closer sooner than S4 and then getting back together. Sorry I hate S3 anything would have been better than what we got. I'm sure they would have wrote it and acted it to our liking. It was a done deal...but he said nope she's screwing up. I actually thinks he says its the last minute he changes his mind. And all the head honchos gave the thumbs up.

I just looked up and listened and Chuck or anything you mentioned didn't come up. The only guy there was a producer (of another show) whose husband was an extra in an ep.
It's at the end. When they do Chuck's corner, they have chucks corner at the end of every episode pretty much to give insides about that episode. Chuck is not on the episode, they read his email he sends in every episode they do. Sometimes he's on it for real...so is Karen, she is the guest on Isn't it romantic. But its at the end, you have to skip to then.

Well, if Dylan had got back with Brenda at the Jack's funeral he would have seemed like a man who was not able to stick to his own choices.
He's a 18 yr old boy I don't think Brenda would have thought that...people make mistakes and maybe they would have written a reason for the choice like we all think about Brenda not being there etc. Brenda was not needy, she would have been the strong one, taking care of him and being there for him and connecting. She was in love. She says straight out on S4, if you would have came back..I would have taken you back in a second...no questions asked. It's not out of character for her...maybe for us...but not for her.

Well I would have liked more too but I really love that scene. I love that scene...I love the ice cream feeding...I love the stares when he gets there...I love the bedroom scene when he is practically in tears how thankful he is she "let" him come there. It's just really touching and I just love them. But then again I'm obsessed with them

Dylan was a lot of negative things but I don't recall fickle being one of them.

Yeah, it would've been bad storytelling. And how was that supposed to play out when Luke was refusing to work with Shannen?

I guess because I disliked the entire exchange I never necessarily needed that. It would've been nice to get an "I will always love you" somewhere down the line though. But like you said, they were awesome at subtext and her significance to him was pretty self-explanatory.

I hate that line so ****ing much. Want better for yourself Bren. Smh.
