Exclusive '90210' News: Kelly Taylor Has A Kid!

With so many of our favorite former 90210 females -- namely Jennie Garth (pictured left with Jason Priestley), Tori Spelling and Shannen Doherty -- signing on to reprise their old 9-0 roles in the CW's spin off of the series, there's been a lot of speculation regarding their romance story lines... especially since the male characters that Kelly, Donna and Brenda dated way back when -- and married, in D Mart's case -- were portrayed by actors who aren't too keen on returning to the old zip code.

Well, I am now hearing that the spin off writers may have found a way to advance those ancient, 90s love stories anyway. Sources tell me West Bev's guidance counselor, Ms. Kelly Taylor, has a four-year-old kid! No word on whether the baby daddy is Brandon or Dylan, but I'm betting it's one of 'em. Still, don't expect to see the girl -- who was once burned in a fire, brainwashed by a cult and big into blow -- pining for her old flames. A romance between Kel and the school's 20-something lacrosse coach, Ryan Matthews (Dirt's Ryan Eggold, pictured right), is brewing instead...

Thoughts on this? Any ideas on how the producers can explain the absence of Donna's hubby David Silver once Tori S. makes her spin off debut?

Any chance of Tiffani Thiessen popping up again? I'd love to see her on-screen with Shannen Doherty since that's obviously a pairing that never happened on the original!

How about not bring back Donna at all and then we don't have to explain David's absence. Sorry for the snark, but while Donna was okay in the earlier years, she drove me CRAZY in the later years, esp. the way she whispered every line like she constantly had laryngitis.

And I liked Eggold on Dirt, but I want Kelly and Dylan to still be together...

Hmmm... in the original 90210, Kelly had a miscarriage and was told that she was unlikely to ever bear a child of her own. Will they just gloss over that plot point or will the child be adopted?

"Unlikely" is not the same as "never." Not to mention all the medical advancements between the original series and now. Wow. We're old.

Can't wait for this show...that dude looks hot so, and now I will reveal just how old I am, "You go, girl!: hahahaha

Hopefully they will at least give a shout-out to the missing men and I don't think Donna will be intregal enough for new fans to care where David is and a throw away line about him "being on business" might satisfy old fans enough...for now!!

I hope Brandon is the father of Kelly's child. They talked about having a family on many occasions. But I don't like the idea of Kelly crushing on Ryan Mathews. Brandon and Kelly should be a happily married couple.

I hope it's Dylan's child!

I really hope this show does well because by bringing back Kelly without Dylan and Donna without David they really taint the episodes leading up to and including the series finale of the original show. I hope David and Donna are still married and that Luke Perry will eventually come back. I have a feeling he'll come back if the show is a hit. I believe the last successful show he was on was 90210 so I am thinking he will be back.

It better be Brandon's child. I want Jason to appear for a Brandon and Kelly reunion. No need for the default couple Dylan and Kelly on this show.
