90210

90210 airs a new episode tonight and, as always, we'll recap the installment soon after it airs, citing the latest 90210 quotes and photos in our review.

In the meantime, however, fans of the show should be tided over by the following scoops.

First, Korbi Ghost form Zap2It spoke to Rebecca Rand Kirshner Sinclair, the woman in charge of 90210. She asked the executive producer about why Dustin Milligan would not be returning next season.

"I honestly think Dustin is such a good actor and such a lovely person. He is incredibly smart and perceptive and I loved working with him," Sinclair said. "At the end of the year [when I joined the show], I was really encouraging a dialogue between the writers and the actors and he was somebody who took me up on that. He was so thoughtful and careful about his ideas, and I was really impressed.

"So in my mind, it wasn’t about not liking Dustin, but [about] the character of Ethan. I felt [Ethan] didn’t allow me the freedom that I wanted. I really wanted a range between the characters and I didn’t feel like I could do with that character what I wanted to do with one of my core people. I think Dustin is amazing and he’ll do great. I was very honored to work with him, but he won’t be back."

Naomi's naughty sister, Jen, will soon arive in Beverly Hills.

The character will be played by Sara Foster - and, as the poster below implies, she makes Naomi seem like a saint...

Rumors of a season-ending death on 90210 have been circulating over the last week.

Based on an interview Entertainment Weekly conducted with Rob Estes (Harry Wilson), it sounds like these are more than mere rumors.

"There might be a death, perhaps a murder. I don't know if they will actually die because it is a cliffhanger. We left it open-ended. There may be a death in the finale. I can only promise bodily harm. Expect bodily harm."

So, 90210 fans, whose body do you think gets harmed?

Welcome to the 90210 Round Table!

Each week, staff members from TV Fanatic get together to review various questions and exciting moments from the most recent episode. What stood out about "Okaeri, Donna!"

Our topics for this edition include Donna'a return, Diablo Cody, Dixon's birth mom and more...

Were you happy to see Donna return?
BrendaLova: Yes. If only because it reduced the amount of screen time for Shenae Grimes and her overacting.

The Real McKay: I don't know what it is, but every time we see an old member of the Beverly Hills, 90210 cast, I get chills. So, yes, in an understatement, you could say I was happy.  But, unfortunately, the old cast members are like a drug and I need MORE.

Wild4Wilds: Not without David. Those two gotta work out their differences! As he used to say, come on, can't we just "squash it?"

Does anyone love Diablo Cody THAT much?!?
The Real McKay: Obviously the man who asked that question never saw Teenage Mommy Girl.  Oh, sorry, Juno for you Americans.

Wild4Wilds: Look, I liked Juno. And I get a kick out of Cody's column in Entertainment Weekly. But Silver reacted as though she were meeting some combination of the Pope, Barack Obama and George Clooney.

BrendaLova: Maybe not. But Cody has said she loves 90210 that much, so the casting made sense.

On this week's 90210, Donna Martin returned, chock full of news:

Her and David were separated.

Many former Beverly Hills, 90210 fans - including the author of this post! - were peeved over the storyline. It seems like a low blow to followers of that show, considering how the finale was based around Donna and David's wedding.

But Tori Spelling is defending the development to TV Guide.

"It was something we discussed, the producers and I, and I thought it was real," Spelling said. "There's just a real storyline there. What happens when a couple of high school sweethearts grow up and become adults, and parents, and have different career paths? Sometimes you kind of move away from each other."

The actress is also quick to note separated doesn't necessarily lead to divorce.

"We'll see what happens," said Spelling. "I know the audience loves David and Donna together and hopefully it will all work out."

What do you think of the Donna/David split? Is it a cheap, unfair plot device? Or a logical continuation of this relationship?

There's no doubt that music is a big part of the new 90210.

With that in mind, we've added a feature that allow fans to browse the songs from each episode, listen to samples and purchase them on iTunes, and even look up the lyrics.

Here's a sampling of some of the new songs we added today from "Off the Rails," "Life's a Drag," and last night's "Okaeri, Donna:"

• Gavin Rossdale - "Love Remains The Same"
• Lily Allen - "Not Fair"

• Franz Ferdinand - "Ulysses"
• Lenka - "We Will Not Grow Old"
• The Kills - "Cheap And Cheerful"
• Attack! Attack! - "You and Me"

You can browse the rest by going to our 90210 music section. Enjoy!

As if Donna Martin's return to the zip code that made her famous wasn't enough, last night's 90210 also featured a naked male model; sex in the woods; and enough Dr. Pepper shilling to last a lifetime.

It was a fun episode all around.

Read our detailed recap of "Okaeri, Donna!" and share your thoughts on the latest developments.

Check out a few of our favorite 90210 quotes from the episode:

Donna: The French have Jerry Lewis; the Japanese have Donna Martin. | permalink

Kelly: Do you wanna journal?
Silver: No, I don't wanna journal, nor do I wanna use "journal" as a verb. | permalink

Harry: How will we pass the time? I've got an idea: sex. Lots of sex. Starting right now. | permalink

Naomi: Play your cards right and maybe we'll see some along time together.
Liam: That's an oxymoron. | permalink

Since before he arrived on 90210, Matt Lanter (Liam) was billed by The CW as the "new Dylan McKay."

Lofty standards to live up.

Over the next few 90210 episodes, though, it looks like the character will truly let out his inner bad boy. 

"Liam takes out Ethan to a camping trip. Ethan's trying to find himself and Liam encourages that from people, trying to find what's deep inside. He gets Ethan into some trouble. Liam's presence is being felt in a pretty major way," Lanter said to E! Online.

Moreover, look for Liam's new romance with Naomi to hit a rough patch.

"By the end of the season, there's going to be some major drama with [Naomi] and her sister and possibly Annie. There's some problem with her sister. She comes in and she definitely makes things tough in 90210. People are definitely going to be angry and betrayed.

For more from Lanter, check out TV Fanatic's exclusive interview with the actor.

Sit back and get comfortable, 90210 fans.

E! Online has provided us with a wealth of spoilers regarding upcoming storylines.

We'll start with tomorrow night's new episode, "Okaeri, Donna." Look for Kelly and Ryan to finally make out during the hour. It's a game of tonsil hockey E! describes as "so hot and heavy, you may turn away from your TV."

As for what else is to come on 90210? How about sex, drugs, alcohol and murder.

"Oddly enough all of those things [happen in the finale]," said star Rob Estes.
