Now '90210' is returning with an all-new cast of slightly more plausible teens. I'll be honest: I wish the old cast was back. Ideally, this spin-off would be an Ice Storm-esque exploration of the West Beverly gang's bleak adult lives.

I'm one of the people that were divorced by 30, which is apparently a growing group... Obviously it's something that affects you forever.
