It isn’t just the rock stars who will take their anger or energy out on their dressing room. Ian Ziering once had a powerful moment of his own when he found out so many of his scenes had been left on the cutting room floor.
There was one episode where his character, Steve Sanders, was accused of harassment. While Ziering thought he had brought his A-game, the producers brought the scissors to the editing room. Ziering, feeling betrayed, took his anger out on his dressing room in a fit of artistic rage. Actors can be so passionate about there work, as displayed in this wild behind-the-scenes moment.
Team Brandon All the Way
One of the biggest details of "90210" is the love triangle between Kelly Taylor and her two potential guys, Brandon and Dylan. These best friends spent the entire run of the show competing for Kelly's affection, eventually deciding on Dylan.
Many fans thought she was wrong, including Dylan's actor Luke Perry. In an interview, Perry said he thought Dylan was too unstable for Kelly, and that Dylan should have “fallen on the sword” and given Brandon the go-ahead. It would have been a big shift to the character but could have created one of the most famous moments in the show.
Lucky Number Five
The very first member of the main cast to land a spot was Jennie Garth, who played Brenda's best friend Kelly Taylor. Her casting was not all that breezy though. She had to audition five times before landing the part. The fifth time was the charm for Jennie as well as the producers.
Jennie's – and thus Kelly's – ability to give important and tricky subjects the gravity they deserved ended up making her one of the most popular characters on the show. She was one of the few to appear in all ten seasons. Now that's an impressive fact, if we do say so ourselves.
Did Tori Spelling Get Shannen Doherty Fired?
We already know about the wild things Shannen got up to before being fired, but rumors still fly as to what the real reason was. Tori Spelling seems to think it was her fault. Spelling was the main pipeline to her father, the show's main producer, about what Doherty was getting up to behind the scenes.
Doherty has certainly admitted to being the show's biggest back stage brat. Still, Spelling has always felt that the things she told her father contributed to the greater pressure and scrutiny on Doherty, which eventually led to her firing. That guilt still ways on her until this very day.
Luke Perry Could Have Played Steve
Luke Perry became one of the teen heartthrobs of the nineties. He played bad boy Dylan, the kind of guy you can not take home to mom because she might steal him. However, Perry originally auditioned for rich brat Steve Sanders, believe it or not.
The casting directors definitely got it right, though, when they decided to have Perry play Dylan, and let Ian Ziering have the part of Sanders. Both characters changed over the course of ten years of "Beverly Hills 90210," and both got the chance to show their sensitive sides too. They went on true character arcs.
