Earlier this week, The CW released this promotional picture of the 90210 regular cast. From left to right: Dustin Milligan, AnnaLynne McCord, Jessica Walter, Shenae Grimes, Tristan Wilds, Lori Loughlin, Ryan Eggold, Jessica Stroup and Michael Steger.
If you've been keeping up with information about the spin-off, you know that there is someone missing from that picture. No, it's not Jennie Garth or Tori Spelling since they will be recurring/guest stars. But it's the actor who'll play the pivotal character of Harry Mills, a father who relocates his family in Beverly Hills to take care of his mother.
According to TV Guide's Michael Ausiello, the show has had a hard time finding the right actor to play the Mills patriarch. The problem is that filming of the pilot/season premiere will start soon so they have to hire someone ASAP. Supposedly, the executive producers are thinking of offering the role to Rob Estes without having him go through the audition process. Estes, who recently appeared in Women's Murder Club, was part of the first 90210 spin-off, Melrose Place. Personally, I hope that they offer him the role and that he accepts because the actor fits the role of Harry and that would make 90210 a very pretty zip code.
In other 90210 news, Entertainment Weekly learned that spin-off producer Gabe Sachs would not only like to use the original theme song but also have different bands record their own version of it each week. EW also reveals that the show is trying to get permission to shoot at Torrance High School, which was used to portray West Beverly High in the original series.
Finally, if you are nostalgic about the original series, go to Randi and Mike Lawson's MySpace page where you can listen to "Oh, Minnesota," a 90210 tribute song.
