x 2.01 – “To New Beginnings”

Amalia Zinser has been cast as Ivy, a surfer chick who will tempt 90210’s guys, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.

Tomboy Ivy is just one of West Bev’s guys, and as such she’ll flirt with both Dixon and Liam (which doesn’t bode well for Silver and Naomi) at the beach. “She’s the quintessential California girl — easy-going, athletic and full of fun,” says a mole. Ivy’s first appearance will be in October.

Though Zinser is a relative newcomer to Hollywood, you might recognize her from recent guest-starring gigs on Cold Case, Southland and Cupid.

Are Silver and Dixon over on 90210, or is there hope for them?
We don’t want to give false hope, but Jessica Stroup teases, “Will you see us kiss? Yes. Will we continue to kiss for the whole season? I don’t know.” While both have new love interests coming in, they still care for each other. Tristan Wilds tells us, “It’s definitely a rocky relationship. We’re having our ups and our downs. You never know where we fall, but right now we’re separated.”

Any more 90210 scoop?
Supersexy newbie Trevor Donovan is coming onboard as the rich son of an Oscar winner who stirs things up with Adrianna and Navid. “I have a connection with Adrianna. We have a little past, so obviously I’m creating a little tension, a little drama,” says Donovan. Is he a bad boy? “Not intentionally. He is causing a little trouble, but he’s somewhat oblivious to it.”

90210 scoop, please.
Don’t worry about Kelly getting involved in any rumored love triangles. “I definitely am not going to allow Kelly to be a homewrecker,” Jennie Garth told us exclusively. “The producers and I have talked about it. It’s not something I’m interested in, and it’s not something they’re going to do.” Why not some added drama? “I’ve spent too many years trying to create this woman other women can trust,” she said.

Are we even going to see Dustin Milligan at all on 90210, or is Ethan gone for good?
Gone for good, though Jessica Stroup tells us, “Ethan is happy in his world. He’s doing his thing wherever he is. He gets a mention and is talked about a little bit, but he’s happy.”

What drama, love interests, etc. do we have to look forward to for Naomi?

For next season, Naomi is trying her best to get over Liam. He broke her heart but she’s not going to let the world know it! But then he shows up for the first day of school, and she’s crushed. She sees him and it all comes rushing back. The first scene of the premiere is really funny! She has fantasies, she’s trying to hit on any guy—but she has policies for guys. If her girlfriends have dated them, that’s a no go. In one case, one of her hopefuls is completely dashed because someone in her group has dated him before—it’s so cute. But with Naomi and Liam, you just feel this tension every time you see them—actually, Matt and I are like, “When are we going to get back together?! Come on!

But then, Naomi wants to go to college. Hilarious—it’s really a funny episode. She just thinks that of course she’ll go to college, and she’s going to go the college that she wants because it’s a “pretty college.” And, oh yeah, there’s this thing called grades! And tests! And she doesn’t really think about that, so it’s a funny episode where she’s trying to seduce the Dean’s son or something—it’s really a lot of fun. [READ MORE]

“90210″! What can you tell me about my Kelly Taylor? She’s not getting back with Ryan, is she? -Elisabeth
Not anytime soon, no. Ryan’s preoccupied with that witch, Jen Clark, right now. Kelly, however, has a new crush too. Seems her rumored feelings for Harry Wilson are the real thing. I’m told K.T. will big time struggle with her attraction to West Bev’s married principal this fall.

Thanks for the scoop on Jackie Taylor returning to “90210.” I am definitely one of the old school fans who thinks the more veteran characters, the better! -Renay
I feel you on that. Unfortunately, I’m hearing everyone’s favorite former TV cokehead may not be long for this world. Word is, Jackie Taylor is sick. Very, very sick. And I guess she just really wants to reconcile with her daughters before it’s too late.

Here are some spoilerish photos of Jessica Lowndes on set on August 19th.
