'90210': Rob Estes leaving, Harry Wilson will be written out
First Kelly Taylor, now Harry Wilson. Looks like the adults in the new "90210" universe are not long for this world.
Just two days after Jennie Garth announced that she's not really doing the show anymore, we find out that West Bev is not only losing its school counselor, but its principal too.
Sources tell Zap2it that Rob Estes' character, Harry Wilson, will be written out of the show by season's end. And since Harry is father to Annie (Shenae Grimes) and Dixon (Tristan Wilds) and husband to Debbie (Lori Loughlin), you can be sure that the Wilson family has some hard times ahead.
A rep for "90210" confirms, "This is Rob's last season on '90210.' He's a talented actor and we couldn't have asked for a better 'Harry Wilson.' But if fans tune in, they'll understand why Rob's charcter is leaving."
Estes released a statement Wednesday (Jan. 20) saying, "I wish the show, cast and crew nothing but the best. I am looking forward to spending time with my kids and exploring other opportunities."
Word is, Estes' exit is a result of failed contract negotiations. In other words, cash money. However, Estes apparently leaves "90210" on good terms with producers and with The CW.
Who knows, maybe he'll show up on another one of the network's shows.
Estes as a vampire?
Thoughts?
Anyone?

I'll watch him in anything. He's freaking HoTT. Of course I thought that before many young viewers were around !!!
Maybe he'll pop up on Melrose?
send him on over to Melrose. He'd do much better on there anyway!
I'd love to see him let loose and have some fun on Smallville. He'd be perfect for Hal Jordan but that character is probably off limits
Yeah, I can see him on VD. Maybe a relative of Elena's?
I think viewers and the Wilson children are going to learn a lesson on the dangers of (blank). Now that he's gone, how about getting Mrs Wilson some 9021Stam0s stat.
He should go back to 'Melrose' and pick back up with Amanda (Heather Locklear).
How is it that "90210" is coming back for a third season? The show has the worst cast in the history of filmed television - you have a lead that couldn't act her way out of a sandwich bag, (Shenae Grimes)and the only two people that could act, Estes and his "mom", the awesome Jessica Walters, get let go.
Hasn't "Melrose Place" already been canceled because it can't get any viewers?
This network really really sucks -- another fine mess for the ridiculously awful dummy in charge Dawn Ostroff.
Nooooo!!!!! He would not be good for the Vampire Diaries.
You said it. Ostroff is like a female Zucker. Makes a mess of everything she does, yet keeps her job. She must have some interesting photos of some higher ups or has some well worn kneepads
