In honor of "90210 Day" (9-02-10) here's my favorite scene from the 90's teen soap that changed the game for primetime sudsers forever. In this clip, Brenda Walsh (Shannen Doherty) blasts her lying, scum bucket boyfriend Dylan McKay (Luke Perry) for cheating on Bren with her skanky, sanctimonious frenemy Kelly (Jennie Garth) while she and the only virgin at West Beverly High, Donna Martin (Tori Spelling) were in Paris!
 
That new 90210 still has SO much to live up to. I don't know about y'all, but I'm headed over to the Peach Pit for a malt right after watching this clip! READ MORE

In the latest installment of Confessions of The Garretts, the prequel to Gregori J. Martin's upcoming soap The Bay, we are introduced to Marlena "Marly" Garrett Nelson Foster aka soap alum Martha Madison. Marly is the daughter of troubled socialite Sara Garrett, played by Madison's fellow Days of Our Lives alum Mary Beth Evans.

In this episode, Marly gets real about how her mother's schizo habit of coming in and out of her life has led to all kinds of soaptastic drama for the blonde beauty. Okay Marly...in your Mama's defense, she really couldn't help being kidnapped by her psychotic, rapist, adopted brother, who fathered her first born son. There isn't a "How-To" book out there for that one ya know! Now, having you kidnapped as a child so that your dad would bond with her and leave your stepmother, well...that was pretty effed up. Watch the clip after the jump. I cannot freakin' WAIT for The Bay! The revolution will be WEBIVISED! READ MORE

An itty, bitty birdie tells me a former ABC soap scene stealer was in serious talks to be among the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Reportedly, producers of Bravo's hit reality franchise originally sought the raven-haired beauty to appear on the docusoap that started it all, The Real Housewives of Orange County , but she passed. Apparently, it came dow to the wire, but the actress, who was killed off her sudser in 2006 and is now married to a wealthy business mogul, passed on the latest spinoff as well.

Every night this week, I've tucked myself into bed with some really good reading. No, it isn't the latest pot boiler you guys by now know I love to read, it's the As The World Turns Tribute book, published by the editors of Soap Opera Digest and Soap Opera Weekly. READ MORE
