90210 TV Series Overview

Series overview



Much like the original show, 90210 follows the move of a family (parents Debbie and Harry Wilson, their daughter Annie and adopted son Dixon). This time however, Harry is actually from Beverly Hills and comes back both to look after his mother Tabitha and to work as the principal at West Beverly Hills High School. All of them struggle to adjust to their new lives: Annie has a hard time balancing romances (starting with rich kid Ty) and friendships as well as popularity and identity; Dixon has issues with his adoption and African-American heritage; Harry and Debbie struggle with the revelation that Harry has a son with Tracy Clark, his former high school sweetheart.


Tracy Clark has a daughter of her own, Naomi Clark, who dates jock Ethan Ward, brief rival of Dixon, with whom she soon breaks up and who gets back with Annie with whom he had a fling years prior. Both girls alternate between enemies in a love triangle and almost sisters due to their parents’ child. Their respective mothers find in a love triangle of their own after Tracy’s marriage to Charles Clark implodes (which Naomi takes quite badly) and she appears to want Harry back. Naomi’s fight with Annie forces her out of the crowd after she uses Annie’s ex-boyfriend Jason as a weapon to get back at her for hiding her relationship with Ethan. She becomes friends with older girls and starts flirting with Ozzie, a rather alternative student and later becomes attracted to a bartender named Liam whom she soon finds out is actually underage and becomes a student at West Beverly High. Meanwhile Ethan and Annie’s relationship hit the rocks as he begins to rethink his life after a car accident and gets more or less attracted to Rhonda, the girl he hit. Soon Naomi and Liam begin a fling, and once she becomes friends with Annie again, he begins to pursue the both of them.


Naomi’s best friend, fallen starlet Adrianna Tate-Duncan battles a drug addiction. This gets her into trouble when Harry decides to clean the school, thanks to the help of a cop, Kimberly McIntyre, under cover as a student. Kimberly begins a relationship with teacher/lacrosse coach Ryan Matthews, which gets him into trouble with the school. Guilt-ridden, Kimberly does her best to solve the case, giving Ryan his job back, although he takes a leave of absence to rethink his life, and Adrianna lands in rehab, after almost getting Naomi in legal troubles as she took the blame for the drugs. There she begins a relationship with Navid Shirazi, head of the school’s paper and Dixon’s best friend, who paid for her rehab. Although at first she only does it to "repay" him, they start to genuinely care about each other. Adrianna later discovers she is pregnant as a result of her promiscuity while she was addicted. After telling Navid of her pregnancy, he breaks up with her. It is later revealed that the father of Adrianna’s child is Ty, although it is unclear when they slept together. She and Navid get back together when he realizes that even though she is a mess he can’t get over her, and get engaged, although he alienates his family when he tells them that the child is not his and gets upset when Adrianna reveals her son is Ty’s.


Another featured character is Erin Silver, Kelly Taylor’s half sister and Naomi’s former best friend, until Silver’s father’s affair is revealed. She quickly befriends Annie and starts dating Dixon, who is somewhat taken aback by her not-so-90210 lifestyle, as she is a virgin who doesn’t care about popularity. In a multi-episode arc that culminated in a very special episode, it is revealed that Silver has bipolar disorder *. Kelly Taylor is now a guidance counselor at West Beverly and has a son named Sammy. She briefly dates Ryan before leaving to work on her relationship with former boyfriend and father of Sammy, Dylan McKay. This briefly causes friction with Brenda Walsh as both struggle with their lingering feelings towards Dylan. When Kelly returns, she not only discovers Ryan’s relationship with student/cop Kimberly but also that he slept with Brenda, re-creating the rift between the two friends. Following Brenda’s discovery that she cannot have children, however, the women are drawn together in an accord once again. The return of Donna Martin, who has become a well-known fashion designer in Japan, and recently separated from David, she decides to move back to Beverly Hills.



* Bipolar disorder : psychiatric illness characterized by both manic and depressive episodes, or manic ones only. (penyakit psikologi yang ditandai dengan baik periode manic (gejala-gejala berupa delusi, senang berlebihan dan aktif secara berlebihan) dan depresi, atau hanya manic saja.)
