90210
Spoilers

As 90210 fans know by now, Adrianna is going gay.

Opinions on this storyline seem mixed in our forum and across our site. Do you think it's a good idea?

To those that have doubts, showrunner Rebecca Sinclair says the series is aware of other failed PR stunts that have gone this route. In a new interview, she tells Michael Ausiello that things will be different between Gia and Adrianna...

On driving force behind this storyline: There’s been a real void in the 90210 universe in terms of gay and bisexual characters, so it was always my intention to find the right way to tell a modern story about being a non-straight — or non-entirely straight — teenager. It’s crazy that we don’t have any stories about that.

On showing respect for the relationship: This isn’t a fling. We’re coming at this [relationship] from a genuine place and not going, ‘Let’s do a titillating story that will grab some promotion.’ This is a real aspect of teenager life that’s interesting.

On Adrianna: Adrianna is, by nature, a dramatic person whose identity is not completely solid. She’s still very much in the process of figuring out show she is.

On the reaction of Adrianna's friends: Naomi, predictably, has some outrageous opinions. She thinks the best thing about fooling around with another girl is how much guys would love it. And Silver, being more sophisticated, is like, “What’s the big deal? If you like somebody and you feel attracted to them, what is holding you back?”

Might other characters explore their homosexual side? There has been some internal debate about this. I feel like as we dig into the show and hopefully make it more specific and unique and interesting, we would get into the real stuff that goes on from both the guys’ and girls’ perspective.

While 90210 fans are still buzzing over the upcoming relationship between Adrianna and Gia, another major development is on the way (spoiler alert!):

On the November 17 episode, an original Beverly Hills, 90210 cast member will pass away, as Jackie Taylor succumbs to breast cancer.

Star Jessica Stroup (Silver) spilled the storyline details in an interview this week with TV Guide Magazine. Below, she speaks on what will unravel over the next few weeks.

On reconciliation between Silver and Jackie: Silver tries to build a relationship. She moves in with her. Her mom actually recreates all the birthdays and special moments that she missed because of her alcoholism. It’s really sweet, with Silver being the parent.

On Kelly's reaction: Kelly’s had more time being let down by Jackie and has built up more resentment and hatred. She has given up on reconciliation and doesn’t want to deal with her mom’s condition. But in the hospital, Kelly walks into an empty hospital room and thinks she’s lost her chance to say goodbye. This wakes her up and makes her realize she has to say goodbye.

On future relationships for Silver: Teddy will be able to relate to her because we’ll find out that he’s gone through something similar in his own life. He’ll be there for her, and a little spark happens between them that’s sort of out of the blue.

And we learn Dixon goes to the funeral. This will bring them back together when he comes to her. He’ll realize that maybe he misses her as more than just a friend. So "Sixon" may not be done!

Sixon? We love it!

Do you wanna see Silver end up with Dixon? Or are you digging her flirtation these days with Teddy?

The rumors and spoilers are true: Adrianna will start a relationship with Rumer Willis' Gia on 90210.

The controversial storyline will unfold in January, as the two characters bond at an AA meeting.

"Gia develops a crush on her, and Adrianna is initally freaked out," 90210 producer Rebecca Sinclair told Entertainment Weekly. "But then she starts to question her own feelings."

What about Navid? Tune in tonight, as he turns down Adrianna's advances and makes it clear he's no longer interested in a relationship with her.

As for Lowndes' take on the same-sex relationship, she said: "I've never kissed a girl before so it's a little nerve-racking."

It also seems a little desperate on the show's part, but we're willing to let this plot develop and see how it plays out. Are you?

Annie has been headed for disaster since the first season finale of 90210. But might she soon be joined by her brother?

In an interview with E! News, when asked what's ahead for his character of Dixon, Tristan Wilds replied:

"Besides the pregnancy, something's going to happen that's definitely going to send Dixon down a bad path. There's something that's going to make Dixon really, really closed in, especially to his parents."

Something aside from the pregnancy? What could that be, readers?!?

Meanwhile, Wilds also chimed in about the problems facing fellow CW drama Melrose Place, which has struggled with ratings and recently fired two regulars.

"It's the first season, so of course there's going to be hiccups and things wrong," he said. "Usually they wait a season, smooth everything out and come back a second season, like us.

"Last year, everything was rocky, we admit that. But this season, more people love it and we found our mistakes."

On 90210 these days, Naomi is dating a college hunk.

Liam, meanwhile, is poisted to romance new surfer chick Ivy.

But previous show spoilers have hinted at a reconciliation between these two, as Naomi will eventually discover that Jen is the one that's been lying all along about her dalliance with Liam.

Still, that leaves the aspiring couple with the problem that Liam slept with Naomi's sister. How will he attempt to apologize and woo Naomi again?

Based on the set photos below, with a candle-lit dinner on the beach. That typically solves all sibling shagging problems...

Do you wanna see Naomi and Liam date again? Answer that question in our 90210 forum!

Really, 90210?!?

In major upcoming storyline news, the CW hit will take an often-criticized route this January: it will hook up a heretofore straight female character with Gia, the lesbian student played by Rumer Willis.

Most shows that attempt this type of relationship are blasted in the media for simply trying to drum up ratings - think Marissa on The OC; or even Claire these days on Heroes - but 90210's numbers have climbed this season.

That's why producer Rebecca Sinclair says the plan is anything but a publicity stunt.

“This isn’t a fling. We’re coming at this [relationship] from a genuine place and not going, ‘Let’s do a titillating story that will grab some promotion.’ This is a real aspect of teenager life that’s interesting... And there’s been a real void in the 90210 universe in terms of gay and bisexual characters.”

So, who will talk a walk on the lesbian side? Adrianna.

There have been no hints that this character is anything but straight, considering she slept with a number of guys during her days of drinking and drugging. But getting rejectedt by Navid will apparently turn Adrianna off to penises entirely this winter.

What do you think of this planned storyline? Discuss it now in our 90210 forum!

The bad news: there's no new episode of 90210 tonight.

The good news: The CW has released a slew of photos from next week's installment, titled "Women's Intuition."

Based on the pics below, we can make the following assertions about developments in the episode:

• Teddy and Silver continue to grow close;
• Annie continues to hang with Jasper;
• Samantha Ronson and musical group N.E.R.D. guest star;
• Navid tries to move on from Adrianna.

Get excited for the episode by discussing it in our 90210 forum with fellow fans - and click on the photos below for an early look at scenes from it...

In response to our 90210 Round Table this week, a couple readers commented that they think Sasha is lying about her pregnancy in order to keep Dixon around.

It's an interesting theory.

But if this is Sasha's evil plan, it doesn't sound like it will work out.

According to producer Rebecca Sinclair, Dixon is about land a new love interest. A cougar, no less!

“A new woman comes into Dixon’s life, and she’s even older than Sasha. It’s someone we’ve met before.”

Hmmm... someone we've met before? A much older woman? Any idea who this could be? Share them now!

Look out, Adrianna!

The 90210 character better wear a helmet on future episode of the show, as reports indicate she'll soon fall off the wagon.

While a source tells E! News that Navid and Adrianna may eventually reconcile, the same insider says it won't be smooth sailing for the couple, especially for the latter half.

"I can't imagine Navid and Adrianna won't get back together, but it's going to be a long road, as Adrianna is going to turn back to drugs to mend her broken heart," said the source.

When asked if Adrianna should hook up with Teddy, 82% of TV Fanatic readers said NO. If only she had taken their advice, huh?

With a new episode airing tonight, and with this information out there, visit our 90210 forum now and discuss upcoming Adrianna developments. We'll meet you there!

When you're as rich as the kids in Beverly Hills, you don't need to wait until October 31 for Halloween.

On this week's new episode of 90210, the characters get into the holiday spirit early. They also meet a new student named Ivy, played by Gillian Zinser.

Naomi, meanwhile, is dealing with (fake) relationship problems of her own, as she complains to Adrianna below about her interactions with the son of the California University dean:

As always, TV Fanatic will fully recap and review the episode "Unmasked" after it airs.
