The Evening Soap Opera
I am from the generation of Beverly Hills 90210. I was in high school the same four years they were. I could not miss an episode. It was my addiction at the time.
The story lines could be deep but was very after school special. Aaron Spelling had another hit on his hands. The show was on entirely too long. After they finally graduated high school I lost interest in the series. With the success of the show you really felt these actors were going to have great careers.
Shannen Doherty was part of the original cast. She was no stranger to acting. She had been acting as a child. She was on Little House on the Prairie. She was also a big fan of drama and a diva. It was rumoured that she was a bad influence on Aaron Spellings daughter who was also a cast member. The two girls got into some drama and that was one of the reasons she was let go. Also bad attitude didn’t help. Which is also the reason she left Charmed. Another show that was doing well. Shannen couldn’t get over the attention given to her cast member Alyssa Milano on that show. Her attitude has not done her well at all.
Everyone thought Luke Perry was going to be one of the greats. That was far from the truth his career didn’t do much after the end of the show.
Brian Austin Green career in acting didn’t seem to go to far. He did marry the hot thing from the transformer movie. Megan Fox, so I guess he is alright!!
Last but not least.
Tori Spelling. I was convinced she got the job because it was her fathers show. They kept her virginity through most of the series. I guess her father couldn’t deal with his daughter having make-believe sex on the small screen. My friends and I would talk about how unattractive she is. She was not one of the looker of the show at all.
Now all of these cast members have done a bunch of TV movies. Tori Spelling is now the reality show queen. None of these cast members have done anything exceptional to me. I did love the show for those four-year. It was very teeny booperish.
It doesn’t compare to the soap opera my mom would watch.
Dynasty was one of Aaron Spellings greats. The drama on this show was off the chain. My mom wouldn’t let me watch the show. I would sneak a few episodes. They even invited Diahann Carrol to the cast. As the half black illegitimate sister of one of the cast members.
Lets not forget Dallas
These shows were a bunch of rich people acting crazy. People would watch it ever week without fail. Dallas big cliff hanger, How killed JR. Long story but these shows were the great days of television. We might need another Aaron Spelling to put the piazzas back in TV.
