90210

Her character may have just lost her mother on 90210, but Jessica Stroup says Silver won't have much time to mourn before her dating life starts up again.

In an interview with The Los Angeles Times, Stroup says she's grown excited about a potential Silver/Teddy pairing.

“It just didn’t feel natural [at first]," the actress said. "The more I got to know him and the storyline, though, it felt more organic. His mother had cancer and he just honestly wants to be there for [Silver] and doesn’t want to push any sort of sexual attraction on it.”

So, gives us the scoop, Jessica: Will Silver and Teddy hook up?

“You’re going to see that there’s going to be some ups and downs in this one, but I’m kind of excited to see where they’re going with it. But I’m having a great time filming scenes.”

As for Dixon, Stroup says that relationship is far from over. 

“You might see some guy fights over the girl,” she teased. “It’s going to be a roller coaster ride with the boys and Silver this year. For sure, Dixon is not out of the picture.”

Who do you wanna see Silver date next? Chime in now:

You've already read our 90210 review of the episode "To Thine Own Self Be True."

But that was just one writer's opinion.

In our weekly Round Table discussion a trio of TV Fanatics gather to analyze various character and plot developments. We encourage readers to play along, either in the comments section below or in our 90210 forum...

Were Debbie and Harry too harsh on Jasper?
M.L. House: Actually, yes. We know he's a drug dealer and, possibly, insane. But he actually have the Wilsons a heartfelt speech. The writers cheated a bit by having Debbie and Harry act like they knew the same things about Jasper as the audience did, simply due to one thing Dixon said.

Dr. Shepherd: Are you kidding? The guy is nuts! Debbie and Harry were too nice, if you ask me. They should lock Annie in her room.

The Barnacle: No. Jasper has to prove himself to the parents of his girlfriend, not the other way around.

What does Ryan see in Jen?
M.L. House: I have no idea.

Dr. Shepherd: This relationship has gone nowhere. It was never believable that Ryan would truly fall for Jen. Moreover, we've seen her do far too many deceptive things to feel an ounce of sympathy for the character when she comes clean a bit, as she did this week.

The Barnacle: The only things I can come up with aren't clean enough for a family website.

90210 aired one of its most depressing episodes of the season this week.

That just means its relationships and storylines are affecting viewers in the proper way, however, as any loyal fan would have been saddened by Jackie's passing and Adrianna's renewed drug use.

As the show heads into an off-week, due to Thanksgiving, fans can at least take comfort in its winning soundtrack. Check out the singles heard on last night's episode in our 90210 music section.

We're listed a few examples below:

• Saint Motel - "Butch"
• A Fine Frenzy - "Electic Twist"
• Ryan Adams - "Wonderwall"

What a depressing episode of 90210!

We don't mean that in a negative sense, it was just an hour filled with somber events and distressing developments. Read more about "To Thine Own Self Be True" in our detailed recap.

Let's review the episode via a series of questions, all of which we encourage readers to respond to in the comments section or in our 90210 forum...

• Do you feel bad for Jen? No! So what if she shed a few tears and was honest for a change. She's lied and manipulated far too often to get off the hook after a few waterworks.
• Where is this Jasper storyline going? Is it possible the show only used the dead uncle as a means to getting Jasper and Annie together? It would feel like a letdown, if so. Still, it's possible Jasper is still using Annie and will eventually turn on her.
• How many buckets of tears did you shed over Jackie's death? We are too proud to answer that, but it was definitely less than six!
• Do you wanna see Liam and Naomi get back together? Yes! The show has done a nice job of pacing this relationship. It feels like we're getting close to the right time for a reconciliation.

Check out a few of our favorite 90210 cast quotes below...

Ryan: I would never cheat on you.
Jen: Honestly?
Ryan: Honestly. | permalink

Debbie: Jasper is odd.
Annie: You don't even know him. | permalink

Liam: If I could take back what happened last year, I would. I think about it every single day. | permalink

Naomi: Watching that movie on industrial meat production just gave me a craving for Kobe sliders. | permalink

Next Tuesday, as Amanda Woodward returns to Melrose Place, the eyes of the TV nation will be on The CW.

Will 90210 respond with an episode worthy of this attention? The installment is titled "To Thine Own Self Be True" and it focuses on a couple of major events:

1. Jasper meeting Annie's parents for the first time;
2. Navid sharing his concerns over Adrianna with Naomi.

The first storyline is previewed in the official promo below:

Meanwhile, for a clip of Navid and Naomi discussing The Blaze and their mutual, troubled acquaintance, follow this article's jump.

As viewers dry their eyes from the likely death of Jackie Taylor, our staff has pulled itself together long enough to compose another edition of the 90210 Round Table.

Indeed, this week's episode left us reeling from the sad events surrounding Silver to the shady ones surrounding Jasper.

We encourage fans to sound off on "A Trip to the Moon" in our 90210 forum and/or comment on the topics we analyze below...

What's the deal with Jasper?
M.L. House: I don't know - and I mean that in the best way possible. I figured he was gonna hurt Annie as revenge for what she did to his uncle, and he still might. But, take the drug dealing away, and he's actually be a super boyfriend to Annie, hasn't he?

Dr. Shepherd: His sweetness is part of his plan. You hurt someone the most when you turn on them; with that - and his uncle's death - in mind, Jasper has Annie right where he wants her.

The Barnacle: He's clearly gonna make a lot of money selling drugs and go on to direct Oscar-winning films.

Is Dixon being too harsh on Debbie?
M.L. House: Yes! I recall when Steve Sanders went off on his adopted mom on the original series, but she was rarely there for him as a child. Debbie has been a model mother and Dixon pulled the ultimate harsh card - referring to her as his fake mom - when it didn't seem called for.

Dr. Shepherd: No. She lied to him. How can you teach your children the value of honesty if you aren't actually honest with them?

The Barnacle: Yes, but he's a teenager, what do you expect? He's also an especially emotional guy, so it makes sense he'd react this way upon being lied to by both his ex and his mother.

Annie's first time.

Liam's major admission to his friends.

Silver's tragic half-birthday.

A lot went down on this week's episode of 90210. We encourage readers to check out our weekly review and comment on what they liked or disliked about "A Trip to the Moon."

We also encourage readers to visit our 90210 music section. As always, we've updated it with the latest singles heard on the show and made it easier than ever to purchase these songs off iTunes.

A sampling:

• Tegan and Sara - "On Directing"
• Shake - "Princes & Kings"
• Owl City - "Sunburn"

Following this episode of 90210, we can confirm:

Annie is still a bitch; Adrianna has leaped off the wagon; and Silver is in for her worst heartbreak yet. Read our recap of "A Trip to the Moon" and then let us know if you agree with the review below...

Bravo to 90210 for creating such mystery with Jasper. He's clearly a drug-dealing, violent individual. But he's also incredibly sweet to Annie. He must be setting her up for some kind of fall because he knows she ran over his uncle... right? That storyline has seemingly been dropped, but we'd imagine the show returns to it.

We do have to call BS on his drug deal with Adrianna, however. In plain sight in the parking lot? Really?!? Hard to believe an experienced dealer and user would meet there.

It's not hard to believe Adrianna's downfall, though. Navid truly was a significant part of her recovery last season and it makes sense that losing him would send her on another downward spiral. Jessica Lowndes is the best actress on the show, too.

Similarly, the series has handled Jackie's battle with breast cancer admirably. It hasn't teased a "HUGE DEATH OF A MAJOR CHARACTER" like other shows are often guilty of over-hyping.

Instead, it's used the illness to take us inside Silver's world and to also show us a human side of Teddy. Kudos!

The only character not clicking on all cylinders these days? Gia. We know there's a major storyline coming up for this student, but it's almost comical to see Rumer Willis just hanging around the Blaze room at all times right now, referring to Navid as "boss." Give her something to do, before she gets to Adrianna, that is.

What did you think of the episode? Below, we list a few of our favorite 90210 quotes from the hour:

Annie: Your girlfriend faked a miscarriage. Sounds like a real winner.
Dixon: Go to Hell. | permalink

Dixon: I wish I got alerts that let me know when crazy girls were approaching.
Teddy: I bet they have an app for that.
Dixon: And I bet it beats non-stop. | permalink

Harry: I know you're upset with your mom.
Dixon: Whatever. It's not like she's my real mom. | permalink

Navid: I'm a tater tot man myself.
Dixon: Dude, you can't say "tater tot" and "man" in the same sentence. | permalink

Unlike the awkward integration of Brenda and Donna on 90210, Jennie Garth's Kelly has fit in nicely at West Beverly.

She has a sister on the show, she's a guidance counselor and she's teased a relationship with Ryan Matthews.

Most recently, though, Kelly's role on the series has been to seemingly get in between Debbie and Harry. There was even a rumor going around that she'd have an affair with the principal.

But Garth has made it clear that isn't gonna happen. She told E! News this week:

"I'm not a big fan of that storyline. It's just bizarre and weird... I don't think it's going to go anywhere. I'm not going to let Kelly be a homewrecker, so there's no place for it to really go."

So, what is in store for Kelly? Garth has no idea.

"I have absolutely zero knowledge of what is in store for Kelly at this point. You know more than me."

Got any storyline suggestions for Kelly? Share them now in our 90210 forum! Meanwhile, fans can look forward to the following storylines on future 90210 episodes:

• Someone will to try to commit suicide.
• The truth about Jen and Liam is revealed on episode 11.
• Dixon's birth mother returns.
• Debbie flirts with her yoga instructor.

Don't to it, Annie!

Don't give your precious flower to shady drug dealer Jasper!

On this week's new episode of 90210, Annie tells Jasper she wants to lose her virginity to him. Meanwhile, Navid confronts Adrianna over her tumble off the wagon.
