Is Dylan McKay Doing '90210' After All? Plus, Premiere Party Pics!
So last month, I reported exclusively that Kelly Taylor, our old 90210 pal, will have a 4-year-old kid in the show's spin off series, which debuts on The CW next Tuesday! -- I stand by the exclamation point, I can hardly contain my excitement -- And I also mentioned that said kid's father would likely be one of Kelly's past loves, Brandon or Dylan obvs. Well, a well-connected source now tells me that Dylan McKay is, in fact, Kelly's baby daddy, and though Luke Perry has publicly said he has no plans to appear on the series, the show's producers are currently toying with the idea of somehow writing Dylan into at least one of 90210's Fall episodes. Word is, the Big D disappeared for awhile -- in true Dylan McKay style -- but may want back into his little boy's life. Kel's too.
Now, according to the studio, Luke Perry is not doing the show, and again, Perry has publicly expressed a reluctance to reprise his role as Dylan. But my source is pretty reliable, so I have to put it out there. Any thoughts?
Though I'm thrilled with the prospect of Luke Perry joining the party, my heart would sing if he ended his guest arc by running off with Brenda. Kelly's comeuppance for stealing Dylan from Bren is long overdue. So there's a fictional kid involved, so what?!
Speaking of the Brenda-Kelly debate, click on the pics below to get a closer look at our two gals -- all grown up -- at Saturday's swanky 90210 premiere party in Malibu. I stalked Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth around the soiree all night and am happy to report they both looked hot... though no one looked better than Jennie's husband, Peter Facinelli. I mean, for the love of God, he's even sexier in person. I was not above staring (my apologies, I have no pics with him).
Anyhoo, come back to me at least once a day for the next week, as I'll have an exclusive interview with one of the 90210 newbies -- including Rebecca Donaldson -- each morning leading up to Tuesday's big September 2nd premiere...
Luke Perry seems to have the least amount of "90210" baggage of any of the guys, so I wouldn't be surprised if he did a couple of episodes. He did guest star on Jennie Garth's last show "What I Like About You," which totally capitalized on the Kelly/Dylan history, so obviously he's game for it.

Lindsay | Aug 26, 2008 3:43:58 PM | #An LA friend of mine said she overheard something about this!
mari | Aug 26, 2008 4:10:15 PM | #In the sides for episode 6 there is a scene with Kelly and DYLAN!
So he's back alright!
KJ | Aug 26, 2008 4:26:30 PM | #"Sideshow" Luke is the male version of Locklear. He is the draw. The back and forth on will he or won't he is simply for the agent's benefit. He cares about the show, is close w/ Garth, and reportedly patched things up w/ Shannen a while ago. Cut the man a check and let's light this candle. Otherwise 902point1 will be a 3 and out.
JT Hutt | Aug 26, 2008 5:00:16 PM | #Shannon looks like she is boxoting - booo! She doesn't need it.
MDEP | Aug 26, 2008 5:07:26 PM | #No Dylan needed on the spin-off. Luke needs to keep to his word of how he would not return without Aaron Spelling and not appear. I rather see a Kelly/Brandon reunion.
Crystal | Aug 26, 2008 6:19:32 PM | #BRENDA AND DYLAN FOREVER!!!!
kara | Aug 26, 2008 6:37:17 PM | #I was a Kelly and Dylan Fan. I was not going to watch the remake because I wanted to keep the memory of them going into the sun together when the show ended. Bring back Dylan and one more person watching the show!
ML | Aug 26, 2008 7:44:01 PM | #K people dont say you arent going to watch it cause we all know you are even with out Dylan McKay, of course he would rock on the show.. but come on! you are going to watch it... and you will like it.
Mr.Nigel | Aug 27, 2008 12:06:18 AM | #Kelly and Brandon forever!!
Madeleine | Aug 27, 2008 6:02:35 AM | #Thanks for the update Korbi! I'm soooo excited to see Dylan come back I mean come on the more of the old cast that comes back (the drama ones) the more that doubles the fan bases of the people who watched the original and those coming on now to see the new. I would love if there is just one tiny hint of longing in Brenda/Dylan if he were to come back Hah I love the drama. I can't wait for next week!
I am too excited at the prospect, i think by leading us down the path of a possible Dylan/Kelly/Brenda reunion, they will keep the old fans tuned in to see....
keep us in the loop as much as you can!
NOOOOOO.... Brenda and Dylan reunion!!!
Nicole | Aug 27, 2008 8:07:11 AM | #If by some chance Luke Perry is willing to return, I'd much rather see a Brenda/Dylan reunion. Never really liked him with Kelly.
Ashley | Aug 27, 2008 8:17:38 AM | #Am I the only one who remembers Kelly promising Steve she would name her first kid after him? Boo...the kid's name is Sammy. Oh well...bring back Donna and Dylan!
Stephanie | Aug 27, 2008 8:18:05 AM | #I always wanted Dylan to be with Brenda and Kelly to be with Brandon, so MAKE IT HAPPEN PEOPLE>That should make up for that horrific "reunion" a while back. Can't Val make a reapperance?
| Aug 27, 2008 8:29:43 AM | #Re: "Can't Val make a reapperance?"
Good question! I'd much rather see her than Donna. Has Thiessen even been asked? From what I've read, she and Jennie Garth seem to be close. . .
Forget about Perry, let Kelly Taloy's real life hubby Peter play the dad. It's not like he has a regular gig right now and I feel for him since Fastlane was unjustly cancelled.
Jon-Michael | Aug 27, 2008 9:23:08 AM | #No. I love Brenda/Dylan but keep Dylan out of it. It makes me sick already that they're going the kid route as it is. If they bring Dylan back I don't believe for one second it's leading to any Brenda/Dylan bliss. The original already screwed up with the triangles and I can't believe the new show is about to do the same.
Yeah, I prefer Brenda/Dylan and Brandon/Kelly like many others but I only see it happening in my dreams. They should have kept ALL triangles out of it if they're not going to fix it the right way.
Major turn-off for watching.
Heather | Aug 27, 2008 11:18:31 AM | #AGREED, Bring Dylan back to Brenda!! COME ON CW Don't F*** it up.
Nicole | Aug 27, 2008 2:09:14 PM | #What is Perry doing that he can't take a day out of his schedule to make the fans that gave him a career happy? *shakes head*
HollywoodDream | Aug 27, 2008 3:12:20 PM | #Oh my god, I hope this is true! I love Kelly and Dylan!!! They are soulmates!!!
Sara | Aug 27, 2008 3:59:39 PM | #Dylan + Brenda = BO-OOORING.
Dylan + Kelly = SPICY!!
love Dylan's coming back! would love to see a still-tense love triangle, but Kelly will always have the edge....
