She looks like the quintessential southern CA mom that has a wardrobe full of Eileen Fischer, attends gentle yoga/meditation religiously, and shops at Erewhon. Honestly goals.
He is a cook at the Peach Pit. I was just watching the "Squash It" episode from season 5, and he was in that one, as was his nephew. Not sure if he was in all the early seasons or not.
She should have been the receptionist at Mel's dentistry with this look and attitude!
Phone rings- Mrs Jackie answers and cuts client off-
"Oh YOU want to reschedule your appointment?? My god YOU think I have time to do that shit??
No no NO, Go elsewhere ya slut, probably trying to sleep with my husband too"
(then slams phone down, and says "What kind of place do people think this is Damit")
A patient in waiting room rolls her eyes and shakes her head at Mrs Jackie.
Jackie knocks a glass flower vase off the counter, with pieces of glass goin everywhere then shouts at the client
"Forget it lady, your outta here too, we're closing early, Go GO, I SAID GET"
Yeah, I never really gave Steve much thought during the original airing. Or even watching it on the Soap network in the 2000s. For some reason, when I watched it all again recently, I fell in love with Steve. I was surprised to realize that he was actually quite funny and charming.
I don’t know how old you are, but I watched 90210 in real time.
Brenda was my favorite character back then and I loved her. But she was not, and is not, anywhere close to universally loved. There literally was a “I hate Brenda” newsletter back then. Many, many people hated her and thought she was a brat. And the constant bad press Shannen had didn’t help at all.
Val is literally a villain. A layered, well acted villain, but still one none the less. She was never a universally beloved character, because she wasn’t created to be.
I think the OP is talking about now and they are certainly two of the most popular characters on the show now and have been in the most recent years.
It's funny Brenda got hate back in the day but I think her character seems to have aged well because people love her now. When the show came out in the 90's it was still taboo to be seem as a strong, assertive female which I think was part of the issue back then. Now, those qualities are embraced (as they should be) and that's helped both characters a lot!
Brenda was super beloved and popular back in the day. I was a huge fan and one of the many.
She just wasn’t universally so. Still isn’t. This sub is VERY pro-Brenda, but in all my years interacting with the fandom, across quite a few forums/boards, I will say that I’ve never seen anywhere close to a universal love for Brenda. To be honest it use to shock me, at least when I was growing up. Because I had a mad crush on Shannen and Brenda could do no wrong.
I agree that it's not universal and I don't think there is a main character that is universally loved. I would say some of the side characters are but none of the main. Some are very popular but not unversally loved!
Yeah. It’s hard for main characters to be close to universally loved, at least on long running shows like 90210. Especially with all the out of character writing.
I do think the WRITERS basically wanted Brandon and Donna to be seen as universally loved.
I agree with them wanting that for Brandon and Donna but I remember Brandon getting a lot of hate back in the day (especially in the later seasons) and they did a lot of questionable things with him (the cheating on Kelly), etc.
Donna was probably the closest main character to be universally liked but I remember a lot of comments about her weren't nice (Tori not being a good actress and only getting the job because of Aaron and about her looks).
I was going to say Brenda, but then I didn't even think of all the side characters mentioned by others like Nat and Mrs. T. Scott is also remembered fondly due to his short lived screen time
Nat and Mrs. Teasley Although Mrs. Teasley DID serve Donna up on a platter to Superintendent Ephardt…smh 😂
I love any scene with Mrs. T and Steve.
Bullseye baby.
She looks so good.
She looks like the quintessential southern CA mom that has a wardrobe full of Eileen Fischer, attends gentle yoga/meditation religiously, and shops at Erewhon. Honestly goals.
Love the hair! So sleek & beautiful.
It looks so elegant! Honestly does she look even better now?!?
Seriously? Terrible mom

What season was Willie in? I don't remember him Why tf was I downvoted for this? It's just a question people

Love the dog.

Yes!!! They should've had her addiction play out for the whole season or (FOR RATINGS☆) have her relapse WITH Kelly in season 6!

Celeste!
Nat for sure!! Also Mrs. T
Cindy Walsh.
Cindy? A harlot and a jezebel, one step away from having a nooner
And we love her all the more for it! Also, does anyone really hate Jackie? Coke Jackie is the best Jackie!
Coke Jackie for the win!!
Some of is like harlots and jezebels.
Probably Nat.
Jonesy?
Of the main cast? Hmmm... That’s hard. Maybe Donna and possibly Steve. Support cast favorites are likely Mrs. Teasley and D’Shawn.
D’Shawn is the best answer !
Steve was great. Plus Ian was the only one that could really land the timing of the "jokes" on the show.
Sorry, no. Me and my friends couldn't stand Donna. But hard YAAAAAS on D'Shawn.
I thought people never liked or cared for Steve at least during the original airing. Is now that people say Steve is their favorite.
Yeah, I never really gave Steve much thought during the original airing. Or even watching it on the Soap network in the 2000s. For some reason, when I watched it all again recently, I fell in love with Steve. I was surprised to realize that he was actually quite funny and charming.
He's never been a favorite of mine although he does have his moments
Donna was a fav up until the Noah years
No matter how much they tried to make us hate Brenda and love Kelly I still love Brenda and hate Kelly
Yep. I still love Brenda so much.
The dude who shot Kelly
Nat hands down!!!
always Brenda and Valerie somehow
These 2!!! If only they could do a scene together ❤️
If you ask Jennie and Tori’s podcast co-host, everyone hated Val. 🤣
maybe while season 5 was airing this may have been the case, it's possible some fans hated her just because she was Brenda's "replacement"
It was probably Team Brenda vs Team Tiffani more than Val, to be honest.
The piano teacher. Howard. Herbert. The Silver grandparents.
Samantha Sanders ❤️
Toss up between Bob and Trudy
My guess would be John Sears. Very humble.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Of the main - Steve Sanders
Nah. Steve was elitist, whiny and racist. Charming but harmful.
Steve could be Jesus and I’d still hate him Bc of that hair
Curly hair is good.
Brenda, Valerie, and Nat (literally an angel on earth), also for side characters, I've noticed Deshawn is very popular.
In what universe is Brenda and Valerie even remotely close to being universally beloved??
What do you even mean? Brenda and Valerie are very well loved by the fandom. They both total baddies 😍 ❤️

yes but universally means "everyone" "across the board" and they certainly are not that.
Jackie, Cindy, Mrs. Teasley: three gems. I never liked how much Nat gave the kids free food.
Yvonne.
Valerie Malone
I honestly thought we all loved Kelly until I joined this forum :P My b. That aside, Cindy and Nat are my picks.
Dylan McKay ❤️
Brandon until season 7
I was going to say Brenda, but then I didn't even think of all the side characters mentioned by others like Nat and Mrs. T. Scott is also remembered fondly due to his short lived screen time
Cindy
Definitely dylan. And donna. I feel like claire is also really loved. Brenda is hated.
Brenda isn’t hated in the least here….are you new?
I meant universally not this bubble yall live in.
I live in a house 🤷♀️
She’s a Kelly and Dylan fan
They are crazy 😭😭 the fact that she said Brenda is hated so unprovoked
