Imagining Where the 90210 Characters Would Be 25 Years Later

It's easy to do a quick Google search and find out where all the Beverly Hills, 90210 actors are now, but it takes a certain amount of imagination to see where the characters wound up. Thankfully, with the 25th anniversary of the original 90210 this week, I now have a valid excuse to devote so much brain space to fantasizing about where Brenda, Brandon, and the crew are today. Check out where we think they'd be now, and find out what was fake and what was real in Lifetime's Unathorized 90210 movie!

Brenda Walsh

Brenda Walsh

Last we heard, Brenda was living the glamorous London life, star of stage and screen. These days, Brenda has taken a significantly younger lover and mentors him in the ways of the West End. She's been married five times with no children, but has decided to devote herself to her craft. Usually spotted in flowing scarves, dark lipstick, elbow-length gloves and smoking from a long cigarette holder, she's been mistaken, more than once, for a younger Mrs. Havisham.

Brandon Walsh

Brandon Walsh

The death of the print journalism industry hit Brandon hard, and he's had to rethink his entire career. As a political beat reporter in Washington, Brandon was there for a lot of historical moments, but times change, and he's now the social media director of a very successful online magazine.

Brandon can teach his teenage daughters a thing or two about how to make politics sexy — which will come in handy when they start college applications. He's rooting for California University, his alma mater.

Dylan and Kelly
Fox

Dylan and Kelly

Kelly and Dylan decided to not marry, but they have one son, Sammy, whose sideburn game is on point. Although apart for a little while, Dylan and Kelly now live in Ojai, CA, and run a moderately successful vineyard and winery. Don't worry, though. Dylan's addiction issues are completely under control, if you don't count that habitual smirk.

Kelly busies herself running the vineyard and and winery, but in her spare time she writes an advice column for Brandon's site in which she lectures readers about their moral failings.

Donna and David
Fox

Donna and David

Married now for 15 years, the Silvers have a handful of children, the oldest of which, Ruby, is a daughter who will absolutely graduate on time. No Champagne at the prom for this youngster.

Donna continues to design clothes and is wildly successful among hipsters for her throwback '90s aesthetic and commitment to mom jeans. Sadly, David couldn't make it as a successful musician, but his jingle-writing firm is the biggest and most successful in the nation. He's responsible for every commercial earworm on the last 10 years.

Steve Sanders
Fox

Steve Sanders

While occasionally joining Brandon and Dylan on their adventures, Steve is much too busy running his successful Cuban restaurant in West Hollywood. True to form, Steve hires mostly buxom blondes to work in the restaurant, but only for nostalgia purposes. He's always faithful to Janet.

Janet and Steve are still happily married, living with Maddie in the Walsh house in Beverly Hills. Janet works as the editor for one of the country's most successful women's magazine. Maddie, who is 17 now, attends West Beverly High, and has never once cheated on a test or stolen a master key.

Gina Kincaid
Fox

Gina Kincaid

Gina finally got that ice skating commentator gig and is at the top of her game. She does a weekly podcast in which she fields calls from other lovelorn women who continually make terrible decisions about boyfriends.

Valerie Malone
Fox

Valerie Malone

Valerie parlayed her bad-girl status into an East Coast franchise of lingerie stores. She has dozens of stores and is giving Donna Martin Originals a run for its money. She has a perfectly functional, healthy relationship with an appropriate man and they live a pretty traditional life.

Andrea Zuckerman
Fox

Andrea Zuckerman

Andrea and her daughter Hannah, now 21, live on the Atlantic coast, in a tiny town that only has half as many blonds as brunettes. She also happens to be mayor and is the prettiest girl in the tiny coastal town.

Brandon and Dylan
Fox

Brandon and Dylan

Brandon and Dylan routinely go on guys' trips to various exotic locales — safaris, deep sea fishing, mountain climbing, Bangkok — these guys will never grow up. Content to never talk about all the women they've shared, they have a bromance that will last the ages. They are the real happy ending.

Brenda, Kelly, and Donna
Fox

Brenda, Kelly, and Donna

Not to be outdone by the boys, the ladies have put all their love triangles, rectangles, and pentagons aside to celebrate true love — that's between your friends. The ladies don't need as much excitement as the boys do, so Kelly and Donna usually head to England. Brenda can't be away from her art for very long, so she's happy to host her oldest friends for quiet nights with giant glasses of wine and fond memories.
