90210 Finale - Scoop On The Shocking Cliffhanger

By Archana Ram
Last night’s 90210 finale ended with — what else? — a shocking twist, but what’s even more shocking are the changes coming to West Bev next season. (SPOILER ALERT! If you haven’t seen the episode, do not read on!)
After a season of marijuana addictions (Ivy), Fatal Attraction-style cousins (Annie), and messy affairs (Navid, Silver, and Adrianna), season 3 of 90210 closed with Naomi’s shocking revelation to Max that she’s pregnant. For actress AnnaLynne McCord, who plays the spoiled Queen Bee, getting the season-clinching scene is something she’s used to. “Naomi’s always the last scene of the finale!” she says. “She’s always crying or there’s something traumatic and crazy happening to her.” But even knowing Naomi’s penchant for cliffhanger-making drama, McCord had no idea a baby was in the cards. “I’m like, ‘Really guys? Really? Pregnant? Didn’t we already do this? I’m going to kill you!’” she jokes. “I did not see that coming. I said, ‘I’m not wearing a big baby suit next year!’”
But what happens next year, once all of the show’s major characters move to college, is up for debate now that new showrunners Patti Carr and Lara Olsen now have been hired. One of the changes the cast does know about? Not all of them are coming back. “That’s something we’ve been told,” McCord says. Though she has gotten unofficial word that she’ll be back — what would 90210 be without Naomi Clark? — the fate of her co-stars is less certain. “I think their reasoning for thinking they might slim down the cast is because it might be too much going with having people in different places,” she says. “Obviously, we’re all like a family now. That’s the part that sucks. You’re wondering which one of your sisters or brothers might not be there.” A spokesperson for the show tells EW, “With the recent addition of showrunners Carr and Olsen on the show, it is still too early to determine storylines for next season.”
As for the seemingly safe McCord, the actress sounds conflicted about coming back for another season. “Honestly, after about three years on a show, you’re like, ‘Thank you very much for giving me a step up. Now can I go do movies?’” McCord explains. “We love our job and we love our fans especially, but you’re always ready for that moment when you can break free. I don’t know who’s going to be lucky, the ones who stay or go. We haven’t decided yet.” While McCord enjoys the stability of being a series regular, she does worry about missed opportunities. “Being on a show is awesome. You have guaranteed work, it’s wonderful and the money is great, but at the same time you miss out on projects. There have been several movies I couldn’t do, and I really loved the script and wanted to be a part of them, and it just didn’t happen because I was working on the show. There’s always the ying and yang of it. Am I gonna miss it when it’s gone or do I want to get out because I want to get in? I don’t think any of us have decided which way we prefer it. It’s kind of 50-50.”

More Dish on Vampire Diaries and 90210


Will Jenna finally find out the truth about vampires on The Vampire Diaries?
Nope, you can expect Aunt Jenna to remain blissfully unaware of the supernatural happenings in Mystic Falls, at least for now. How can that be when she was in the house while Katherine was chopping off Uncle John's fingers and Jeremy was upstairs downing blood and pills? Executive producer Julie Plec tells us, "We'll learn in the first episode that she was actually out talking to the fire marshal. Katherine actually lured Jenna out of the house before all the craziness happened." Finger slicing aside, that Katherine seems like a fine young lady, no?


Any more news on 90210?
How about an Entourage-ish crossover? Naomi is going throw a crazy-lavish 18th birthday party early in the season and Adrian Grenier's band Honey Brothers has officially been named the house band. Pretty cool, huh?

90210's Matt Lanter on Poking Fun at Robert Pattinson and His 90210 Love Life

Matt Lanter has a big couple of months ahead of him. Not only is he gearing up for the return of 90210, but in two weeks we'll see him do his best Edward Cullen in the Twilight spoof, Vampires Suck. At the Summer TCA, I stole Lanter away for a few minutes, where he talked about his respect for Robert Pattinson and his fears of Twi-hard backlash.
BuzzSugar: How much fun was it to spoof Twilight in Vampires Suck?
Matt Lanter: I had a blast doing it. I've worked with those guys before on Disaster Movie, so I knew I was going to have a good time. And to be able to do a Twilight spoof — let's be honest, they had it coming, right?
Buzz: Do you worry about fan backlash?
ML: Like a bunch of teen girls showing up at my house? A little bit, a little bit. So please don't hurt me.
Buzz: Have you met Rob [Pattinson]?
ML: I have not! He seems like a great guy, though. He really does. Honestly, I'm a fan. He does a great job in the Twilight series.
Buzz: So you've seen the Twilight movies?
ML: Yeah, I've seen them. I actually read the first book. I did my character research!
Buzz: Can you do an Edward Cullen impersonation for us?
ML: I'm not going do a re-enactment for you! But I had the eyes and I had the hair. My hair was longer too, I had a very good, disheveled Rob Pattinson look going on. It was great, we pretty much closely follow the Twilight film. So a lot of the scenes in Twilight we're actually doing. What's also kind of cool is that we also follow our own storyline. It was fun.
Buzz: Did you get to do the sparkling like diamonds scene?
ML: I did, I did do the diamond scene. And I was naked in front of — well, not completely. I had a little loin cloth on in front of like 300 extras. You know you have that nightmare where you get up in front of everyone, and you're talking, and all of a sudden you're naked? That actually happened.
Buzz: Let's talk about 90210. What's happening with Liam next season?
ML: Well, at the end of last season he broke up with Naomi and he was getting a little bit emotionally closer to Annie. This season we see that kind of blossom into a romantic relationship. In the first couple of episodes we've shot, we share our first kiss. It's really romantic, it's out on another boat that wasn't blown up by creepy Jasper. I've got a half brother coming in, which is a surprise to everybody.
Buzz: Is Jasper still going to be around in the next season?
ML: Not yet. I don't know, we're a few episodes in and they haven't explained last season. Last season we ended with Jasper blowing up Liam's boat, then Liam beat him to a pulp. But we haven't seen the ramifications of that yet.
Buzz: Will Liam's anger management issues come to a breaking point?
ML: I don't know, it would kind of be fun to play. I love playing Liam when he gets to do the bad stuff, like racing cars and stealing boats.
Buzz: You said that Liam and Annie's romance develops, so does that mean that Liam is not the character who's going to come out of the closet?
ML: That's what everyone's been asking me about! We're two or three episodes in and I don't think that happens for a few more episodes. There's a possibility of it heading toward any of the three guys.
Buzz: Were you surprised when you found out the storyline was coming?
ML: I read it in an article just like everybody else. My picture popped up and it said, "Gay this season?" and I said "What?!"
Buzz: You know people are placing bets, making polls . . .
ML: I know! So I voted for . . . Dixon.
Buzz: Dixon wasn't actually one of the contenders.
ML: I mean . . . I voted for Navid!

90210's Finale and A Few Spoilers on S3

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."

The Season Premiere is Monday, Sept. 13
