Robestes_lMelrose Place alum Rob Estes has become the 10th cast member to join the highly anticipated Beverly Hills, 90210 spin-off this fall on The CW. He'll play Harry Mills, the son of aging Hollywood star Tabitha (Jessica Walter) who moves back to the 90210 ZIP code with his wife Debbie (Lori Laughlin), daughter Annie (Shenae Grimes), and adopted son Dixon (Tristan Wilds).

The CW announced this week that the spin-off, titled 90210, will air on Tuesdays as a lead-in to the new Surviving the Filthy Rich, which focuses on a young woman who tutors wealthy siblings in Palm Beach (it's based on the book How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls). Jennie Garth, a member of the original 90210, is expected to recur on the spin-off.

Yikes, this is unfortunate. He was always a major weak link on Melrose - he was actually a stiffer and blander actor than Josie Bissett. There were so many other good-looking men on those Spelling shows -- if they want to keep it in the family, I'm sure there are dozens who'd be happy for the work.

Rob you have hide for a long time. Nice to see you back.

Such a hardcore hottie! That jaw line makes me pants tighten.

Once again networks have no imagination. Boring.

This 90210 will be different than the last since I think it will focus a lot on the parents also. Too many younger looking parents on this show.

continuity issue? Fri, May 16, 2008 at 11:23 PM EST

seeing as melrose was a spinoff of hills, that technically makes his appearance a continuity issue, even though he'll be playing a different character... why do they need to "reboot" hills? what's the point, so many years later? what's next? models, inc., the next generation?

I always liked Rob Estes. I always thought he was a handsome man and an underrated actor. I think his additon to this show will be great.
