9021ugh
All the rumors about Jennie Garth joining the cast of the 90210 spinoff are starting to perturb me, for one very specific reason: They all have her teaching fashion design at the high school. Which is great, except for how DONNA was the one who designed clothes, and Kelly Taylor was the one who did Donna's P.R. for a brief time and worked at random free clinics and judged gay couples for wanting to adopt children.
If they had a class on Giving Disdainful Looks with a minor in using them on people you are judging after a 10-second encounter, Kelly could teach it. If the school offers a seminar on getting sucked into a college cult, or choosing yourself, or overcoming a series of bad haircuts, then I'd fully support Kelly Taylor taking on the role of instructor. But fashion design was NEVER what she did. It makes no sense. Hopefully Jennie Garth is pointing that out to them now, rather than snapping up the job and figuring they'll fix it all later.
Also, you can't bring her Kelly without Dylan. They were supposed to end up together, per the series finale, and I just don't want to deal with some cockamamie fake story about their breakup unless it involves the return of Brenda and one final -- or, better, first-of-many-new-ones -- catfight.
Clearly what they need to do is have Andrea Zuckerman be the new Gil Meyers -- the cool English teacher who supervises the Blaze and befriends a few students and generally blurs the lines of propriety a little before ending up Their Faculty Buddy. Or she could be the new Mrs. Teasley, although given their disciplinary history, I think Steve Sanders returning to take on that job would be way funnier.
Steve Sanders as the new Mrs. Teasley would make me happy. I wonder if the ghost of Dead Scott will roam the halls..... taunting David, who will be the advisor for the AV Crew and radio station.

Didn't Dylan end up with Brenda in London?

I think the whole spin-off idea sucks. You just can't recapture that kind of "magic"!
