I did not watch “Beverley Hills 90210” when I was younger. While I was in the right age bracket for the show, I was always a “My So-Called Life” kind of gal instead of a “90210” kind of gal while growing up. So I don’t particularly feel any nostalgia about the new, very meta “BH90210” reboot. It’s the old 90210 actors playing themselves while working on a project to reboot “90210” and play their old characters again. Like, uh, what? But then I heard they made Gabrielle Carteris/Andrea Zuckerman kiss a lady and I thought, what a blatant ratings stunt…I am totally going to watch that. It helps that they cast Ali Liebert as her kissee.
Theresa confesses her 90s crush, drops the words "Suze Orman" and "Sapphic" and asks Gabrielle about her sexuality all under 50 seconds. Well done, @AliLiebert 👏🏼 -T #BH90210 pic.twitter.com/prRuroaNqQ

I will say, the few episodes of “90210” I did watch, I always related to Andrea Zuckerman the most. I mean, she worked on her high school newspaper and I worked on my high school newspaper. She wore glasses and blazers and those awesome 90s vests. And I wore glasses and aspired to wear blazers and those awesome 90s vests.
So you really can’t blame Ali for taking her shot and hitting on Gabrielle/Andrea.
I would do the exact same thing were I ever to ever be working as a bartender and serve Claire Danes.
Not just that but did you see how queer the meta-show show runner character looks? Hmmm I wonder if they’re gonna hook up
ReplyDeleteBut hey, I won’t complain. We could use more coming out later in life storylines
