This September, 90210 goes back in time and back to the beach for a new season. Several reports have confirmed that the series will be headed for the Beverly Hills Beach Club, which some might remember from the original show.

Taking a page from its predecessor, 90210 promises even more exciting episodes for its return. It will be featuring the BHBC throughout the summer, and could even help promote romance among the teens of the series.

While 90210 won’t be able to film in the original location of the beach, they’ll push through with the storyline and work on some of it on a set. A rep from the CW told Access Hollywood that the West Beverly kids may find themselves entangled in even more passionate plotlines, especially since they’re casting for more actors.

Sources have revealed that 90210 is looking for six hopefuls willing to fill in spots for several characters. There’s five males and one female on the list, most of them with ties to the beach club.

Ladies first. 90210 is looking for someone to play a character named Bitsy Liberman, an attractive 30-something female who will become the leader of the Westside Wives. The role is possibly recurring, and this Bitsy is said to go head to head with Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord).

Another character thrown into the mix is Mark Driscott, a high school senior who will be seducing Annie (Shenae Grimes). He also has an unnamed friend excited about the hook-up. Next on the list is Julian, an attractive beach club front desk employee. Joining him there is the air-headed Diego, who caters to Naomi’s every whim.

Of course, the beach club won’t be complete without a lifeguard. The casting call reveals that 90210 is searching for someone to portray Rowan, who could either be British or Australian. Reports say that the accent is necessary for this possibly recurring role.

It looks as though 90210 is going to be packed next season, especially because of the exciting addition of the beach club. Catch the return of the CW show later this year.



The CW will kick off its fall campaign on Sept. 8 with the sophomore year of “90210? and the bow of “Melrose Place.”

Net has also decided to flop the time slots of its Monday dramas, which will send “Gossip Girl” to the 9 p.m. hour.

It’s the second year in a row that “90210? is the centerpiece of the net’s fall launch campaign, and CW is hoping that anticipation will be high for the remodeled “Melrose.” CW is getting a jumpstart on its competish by launching the week of Sept. 8, but it won’t be quite as quick out of the gate as last year, when the net’s fall sked launched on Labor Day.

If they’re anything like the old shows, the new 90210 and the upcoming Melrose Place revamp will have some characters crisscrossing between them.

Right now, however, it doesn’t sound like anything definite has been decided.

“I don’t know,” said Shenae Grimes, who plays Annie on 90210, when I recently asked her about the possibility. “I’ve heard rumors, but you know, rumors are rumors.”

What’s not a rumor is Annie’s turn from a Goody Two-shoes to a bad girl. Grimes said there were never any plans for her character to get darker, but one day…

“My producer sat me down and was like, ‘Shenae, there is just some sort of intensity behind your eyes. We’ve got to bring it out somehow,’ ” Grimes recalled. ”I was like, ‘All right! Cool! Better challenge for me. I get to stir up trouble at work, awesome.’ ”

And speaking of trouble, Grimes said recent tabloid reports that she was kidnapped as a child are rubbish.

“Don’t believe everything you read,” she said. “There was a very minor incident that was blown way out of proportion.”

Child abduction, she said, is not something that should be sensationalized.

“It’s a serious subject,” Grimes said. “It should not be made light of. My heart goes out to anyone who that has happened to, but it has not happened to me.”

I’ve finally changed the layout. I love this shoot and for me Shenae looks great! Hopefully, you’ll all like the new version.
New gallery layout is coming soon as well.

Shanae walks home after visiting a drug store and picking up a couple of drinks. Later that day she was spotted running from her car to greet friends. She picked up a small child and swung him around.
