After the enormous Internet buzz about one of the 90210-ers traipsing out of the closet, it turns out the character in question is Christina the cheerleader. (Does this even count as a character coming out? I really only recall her in one other episode. It would have made more sense if it had been Silver or Adrianna -- someone we actually care about!) Anyway, while she doesn’t explicitly state whether she’s L or B (or even T, for that matter), her overt flirting with Dixon(above right played by Tristan Wilds) in the one previous episode I remember her from and her pointing out her girlfriend Tiffany during last night's show lead me to think she's officially bi.
Back at Casa Wilson, Harry (above left played by Rob Estes) is so blinded by Sean’s (above center played by Josh Henderson) down-home, A&F charm he hasn’t asked him to take a paternity test in the two months he’s allowed the uber hottie to live with them. And this is where this show differs from the infinitely sharper Gossip Girl. These people may be plastic, but there’s no way they’re so stupid they wouldn’t have gotten a paternity test. At the very least, Tabitha’s not that stupid. At any rate, Sean bails before the test (after getting $200K from Tracy for his efforts), which seems the oddest thing of all: Why bring this gorgeous man with all this potential for all of two episodes? If done right, this story could have played out for the rest of the season. Why not have him get creepy with half-sister Naomi, get all alpha male on Ethan’s ass, take MILF Kelly for a ride -- the options are really infinite.
More news: Adrianna’s preggers; Brenda discovers she can’t have children, which brings her and Kelly closer; Ryan is (thankfully) nowhere to be seen; and Ethan is (again thankfully) in only one scene.
