BEVERLY HILLS 90210: BRENDA IS BETRAYED Jan. 27, 1993. Fox's high school serial reached an angst apex in its third season, when good girl Brenda (Shannen Doherty) learned that her bad-boy boyfriend, Dylan (Luke Perry), and her best friend, Kelly (Jennie Garth), had had a fling the previous summer. The love triangle 'was a very hard sell to the network,' says former exec producer Jessica Klein, who cowrote the episode with partner Steve Wasserman. 'They were afraid we would ruin both Brenda and Kelly — and possibly Dylan.' Instead, the story exemplified how the Aaron Spelling-produced 90210 reinvented teen TV by blending modern-day problems — this episode found Brandon (Jason Priestley) addicted to gambling and David (Brian Austin Green) dealing with his dad's second divorce — with scandalously soapy plots. 'I hate you!' a scorned Brenda screamed at the shamefaced pair during the denouement. 'Never talk to me again!' The Dawson's Creek gang can only hope to reach such histrionic heights. Rank 61
