REFERENCES
- Shannen, Jennie and Tori all show up to the Upfront presentation in a red dress, while the other four provide commentary amongst themselves
- The audience responses to the "Beverly Hills, 90210 Reboot" contain, among others, people being weirded out by the “sexual chemistry between Brenda and Brandon”.
- "Jason"'s reaction is knowing disbelief and "Shannen" is grossed out
- Some of the people that were part of the test group found Andrea Zuckerman being gay or bi 'pretty funny'.
- Audiences want Brenda to be more of a troublemaker.
- Shannen responds to this by saying to herself that Brenda was never a troublemaker. If anyone was, it'd be Kelly who was also a sl**.
- With Jason, audiences loved seeing Brandon Walsh and Kelly Taylor together.
- Audiences also related to Kelly Taylor's struggle as a middle-aged woman, but found her story arc depressing.
- Steve Sanders macho swagger feels old school; like being in a time capsule.
- Tori is called polarizing, but audiences say that as Donna she’s completely endearing; especially when she’s with David Silver.
- Audiences think David Silver is now improbably sexy
- Audiences want Brenda to be more of a troublemaker.
- According to Christine, there was an OC reboot in the works, with apparently Mischa Barton tweeting up a storm, and her Marissa character seemingly being back from the dead.
