'Beverly Hills 90210' spinoff casting begins: Dustin Milligan tapped for pilot

Actually, I think it could work in the same way the Degrassi - next generation worked. If there are at least a couple of original cast for the first season or two, and if there are children of some of the old cast that we knew about (Andreas "hannah") or assumed would eventually happen(child of any popular couple - Brandon/Kelly; Dylan/Kelly; Dylan/Brenda; Donna/David)that remained constant throughout the series, then old viewers will tune in to see how they all turned out and new (read YOUNGER viewers) will gravitate to the new teens. ie) Degrassi next gen only survives because of Emma (we knew from Spike way back when) and the constant presence of Snake/Archie and periodic supporting roles of Caitlyn and Joey.

I don't think it will be a hit unless the old characters come back

I'm a die hard fan of Old 90210, how can you bring a new 90210 back! Why cant you think of another name? I dont think I will ever watch it! I want my Dylan, Brandon, Steve, Brian, Donna, and Kelly back! I grew up with them!

I'm super excited about this...i grew up watching this show, i just hope it's as good as the first

Being an adoring fan of 90210 I fail to see how this is a spin-off? Although it is in the early rumor fested stage, so we shall see what comes of it. I would love to see the ORIGINAL cast come back. Pay them all anything they ask, because i would wager it would be the most watched premier in history. The show was fantastic, that trailed into idiocy the last 3 years. But bring it back strong and fierce, make them remember why it was so amazing!

nothing can top the original but this will be greaTTT

I read that one of the kids who hosts the morning student news show is Andrea's daughter with that guy she married. I'm not going to hate this show just yet. Especially since I read that some kids toilet paper the Spelling mansion in the pilot. Rob wrote a role for Kelly Taylor, but he really should have brought back Brenda.

Oh, for God's sake. Just get back to "Veronica Mars" and forget this 90210 nonsense!

Please have Claire come back as one of those kids mother. She was one of my favorite characters.

Some fan you were. Claire died of AIDS in the series finale.

This is just going to be the next copy of teh OC. But you never know until you watch it...

Personally, I'm loving the upper east side and Gossip Girl (coming back Monday April 21st at 8PM on CW)!

90210 Never Dies Tue, Apr 1, 2008 at 05:24 PM EST

This is an embarassment to the original. If they don't bring back one of the true 90210'ers, no one will watch. I mean, c'mon...seriously...None of the original characters are doing anything! Where's Steve Sanders when you need him? CW crap at it's finest.

chloe Tue, Apr 1, 2008 at 04:48 PM EST

How about a married Dylan and Kelly dealing with Brenda and Dylan's rebellious British lovechild!

Alan Tue, Apr 1, 2008 at 02:44 PM EST

This whole "90210 spinoff" thing is the stupidest thing ever!! How can something be a spinoff if the cast is entirely new and has nothing to do with the original show??? Just because they are both set in Beverly Hills doesn't make it a spinoff!! That's like saying Grey's Anatomy is a spinoff of Frasier because they are both set in Seattle!!

So unless 90210 brings back a real original character, it's not a spinoff. And it can't be a very loose connection like Dylan's half-sister who appeared in 3 episodes - it has to be a real original character or it's NOT a spinoff. It just bugs me that EW and the media keep calling it a spinoff that's all. But it'll suck anyway. It'll just be "The OC" meets "Gossip Girl".

Please, don't make me laugh.

Ric Flair Tue, Apr 1, 2008 at 01:32 PM EST

The only way I will watch this show is if they bring back a couple of the old characters. (Not Aundria)

anr Tue, Apr 1, 2008 at 01:20 PM EST

he also guest starred on The N show "About a Girl".

dala Tue, Apr 1, 2008 at 12:34 PM EST

Sina Tue, Apr 1, 2008 at 08:46 AM EST

Please have Claire come back as one of those kids mother. She was one of my favorite characters.

Allison Tue, Apr 1, 2008 at 08:46 AM EST

Tabitha Mills? Maybe they can get Juliet Mills to star since she already plays a Tabitha on Passions the most tacky show ever to grace television. She's the right age and everything.

Michael Tue, Apr 1, 2008 at 04:31 AM EST

this is going to be the greatest show in the history of television
