OK, it's not like our expectations were Lost-finale high, but after 90210's Shenae Grimes, AnnaLynne McCord and Trevor Donovan promised us a "crazy" season-ender with loads of cliffhangers, we expected some juicy stuff—none of which really transpired!
So what gives? We were purposely mislead? Not so, says our source. Here's what happened to the 90210 finale that never was...
What Went Missing: Ummm, how about the whole "who really ran over that homeless guy" storyline?! Back in March, Trevor told us the season two finale would answer the question left open from season one's final ep. "In one of the last scenes of the finale, you find out who actually hit the homeless guy," he teased. "I can guarantee it comes out of left field."
But come finale night, the only thing remotely left fieldish was the complete exclusion of said reveal. How do you explain that one, CW?!
According to our reliable 90210 source, some story changes were made post-production and the rumored "real" killer twist was canned. In the end, Annie made peace with her crime, largely due to an encouraging chat with Liam (Matt Lanter), and solemnly wandered home to confess everything to the 'rents.
And that's it. If you're hoping to see more of Annie's hit-and-run issues in season three, don't. The Powers that Be are leaving the story as is from here on out? Annie was in fact the drunk driving guilty party.
Bright side? Now that she's got that monkey off her back, maybe we'll get to see a fun and carefree Annie, again.
What Actually Happened: Annalynne and Shenae both promised "the worst thing in the world" would fall on Naomi's shoulders, and lo and behold, the poor girl was seemingly raped by the creepy teacher she falsely accused of sexual harassment earlier in the season. So...there's that.
What About Rob Estes?! Principal Wilson is officially out of the hiz-ouse. For those 90210ers awaiting a proper sendoff for the family patriarch, we have some bad news—there was never a big to-do planned for Rob's final days on the show, and we won't see him again.
Tristan Wilds reveals:
"You'll see another part of American culture. It's the plight of the single mom," he said of Dixon and Annie's now-solo mama, Debbie. "You get to see what she goes through and how she copes with dealing with two kids and still trying to find a job and keep a house et cetera, et cetera. It'll be a very different dynamic, but it's still very, very true to life."
And the one teensy tease he'll give about season 3: "It's gonna be a good senior year."
