Same Zipcode...Same Cast?

It occurred to me today that I either have way too much time on my hands or I care too deeply about info that really isn't important.

So, I'm sitting in AP English Language, and it's pretty late in the school day, - not to mention I had two tests earlier in the morning - and I just don't feel like paying attention to whatever lecture on whatever book I should have finished reading a week ago.

Instead my mind is off in the zipcode of 90210. I travel back and forth between Tree Hill, North Carolina, and Beverly Hills, California, and 5th period AP Lang seemed like as good a time as any to take a vacation.

"Open your books to page...blah, blah, blah, blah, blah." I totally miss what page number I'm supposed to be on because I have a far greater dilemma eating away at my brain. I am furiously trying to figure out which characters from the old 90210 are represented by the characters in the new 90210. Pretty advanced thinking, huh? No wonder I'm in AP:)

Anyway, I have most of the characters matched up to their respective counterpart; I've even mentally typed up this list in my head:

Annie Wilson -- Brenda Walsh
Naomi Clark -- Kelly Taylor
Adrianna Duncan -- Donna Martin
Erin Silver -- Andrea Zuckerman
Dixon Wilson -- Brandon Walsh
Ethan Ward -- Dylan McKay
Naveed Shirazi -- David Silver

The only person I can't add to the list is Steve Sanders, the original's resident beer-guzzling red head. It's driving me crazy - who is Steve in the new show? Why is this so difficult?!? Why the heck do I care?!? Well, I do, and I'm gonna keep thinking about it since I have all this time on my hands for really uninportant info! Could the fanpoppers out there who have lots of time on their hands too - ('cause I KNOW there are others like me; don't be shy) - help me solve this puzzle?

C'mon it should be fun; besides it will give you something to do if you ever get bored during school:)

whoa..Erin Silver is suppose to rep. her brother David Silver. Same attitude just different sex is all. I'm not sure any of the new characters really represent the old characters! And I think Navid makes a better andrea! ANd there is no way Adriana is associated with Donna cause Donna was the super good girl in the original!

True, but they are both characterized by their insecurities. Donna takes the conservative route, while Adrianna is way promiscuous, but they both deal with being shunned by the people they love. Donna because she won't have sex with David, and Ade because she is preganant. Still, they have to put on brave faces when they're unsure and uncomfortable with who they are. And for the record, just because Silver is David's half sister doesn't mean she is reliving his life. I think she is like Andrea cuz she's not afraid to be herself - even if it is unpopular.

hmmm
well for sure
Annie Wilson -- Brenda Walsh
Dixon Wilson -- Brandon Walsh
Erin Silver -- David Silver (both silvers hav the love for tech, david was his dj nd recorder and erin with her blogging; plus they are both silvers, same family history with mel ...)
Naveed Shirazi -- Andrea Zuckerman [both are the newspaper people, and the peron they like is more popular then they are]

i dont agree with that:
Naomi Clark -- Kelly Taylor
Adrianna Duncan -- Donna Martin
Ethan Ward -- Dylan McKay

donna and adrianna are more like opposites...
ethan isn't exactly bad boy enough. and naomi and kelly, maybe with the s1 kelly but they aren't too similar.

so i think donna, kelly, dylan, and steve didnt get a character. but, kelly is still in the show. donna is coming back (and hopefully david too!) maybe ethan is a mix of dylan and steve. tone down both characters, mix them in a blender and get ethan?

I see Liam as the new Dylan Mckay, except that he's working backwards from Kelly (Naomi) to Brenda (Annie). I think Ethan Ward is more Steve.
