90210 May Produce Spinoff
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, FOX, The CW, Gossip,
With The O.C. now off the air, we can finally get back to the high school series that kind of started it all: Beverly Hills, 90210.
The FOX show that wrapped up almost eight years ago may have a chance to live on as a contemporary spinoff on CW. If a pilot - developed by Veronica Mars’ Rob Thomas - is picked up, the new program would find a home on the same network as its New York-based counterpart, Gossip Girl.
It is not known how the new cast of players will relate to the alumnae of Beverly Hills High. It’s also not clear whether 90210 veterans will somehow be involved. But should we see appearances from Ian Ziering and Gabrielle Carteris, it wouldn’t be the strangest thing in the world. Fans of Degrassi already know how characters can stick around for generations to come.
Decisions on a possible pilot will be made by the end of the month.

Mischa Barton a Rumored Gossip Girl
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, The O.C., Gossip, Rumors,
Although she was killed off her last show, Mischa Barton has apparently been invited to join another Joss Schwartz series: Gossip Girl.
The O.C. native was asked to star as Georgina Sparks, a character who would bring Serena’s not-so-wholesome past to the forefront.
Although I was initially apprehensive upon hearing the news - I’d really like to see the CW program survive on its own merits - I quickly had a change of heart. If stunt casting is what it takes to get the show some attention, then I’m all for it.
But wouldn’t ya know it - Barton apparently thinks she’s too good for the series. Although she really hasn’t done anything noteworthy lately (unless you count her recent DUI and marijuana charges), her reps have advised her to pass.
You know what? Screw Barton. Let’s bring her ex-mommy, Melinda Clarke, into the fold. Now that would make things a bit more interesting!
