I think I'm thinking of the dark haired guy who was on a boat.
that was later on, i think. his name was...Noah? it's scary that i remember this stuff.
I was a big old Donna/David shipper, without actually liking Donna
yes. this. when i was little, i liked Dylan. as i grew up, i loved David. did you ever see BAG's ABC Family Movie with the girl from Popular? i'm such a sucker for those movies.
But no, I haven't done anything like that. Which is probably a very good thing. Erin did an Alias commentary, so maybe that's the source of confusion.
Yeah, that's what I figured she was confused about. That commentary was pretty entertaining, though. You should totally do one.
Waitaminnit, Jen, I had that tag first!
Ack!! My bad, my bad. I will switch, as is only right, though you are gracious to offer to share. Also - smonster! Hi!
OK, change tag, then catch up with other posts...
It saddens me to report that I actually remember this, but:
Yes, the same actor who played Donna Martin's abusive boyfriend, but nope, playing a different character. The Heights was a definite attempt by Fox to copy its own success and grab the 90210 audience for another night, and the cast included some actors who'd appeared before on Fox shows, but it was its own little 'verse, unconnected to 90210.
Hee. 90210 questions, just what I needed to distract me from writing cover letters.
Ray was Donna Martin's abusive boyfriend, who then went onto the Heights, which had terrible ratings, they thought because most people couldn't deal with the fact that he'd thrown Rose Princess Donna down the stairs. So, they breifly brought him back to say he'd been in counseling and was really really sorry.

Also true, though I never watched the Heights.
he'd thrown Rose Princess Donna down the stairs.
oh, was that the excuse for all of the plastic surgery?
Wow. I'm so wrong, then.

Only if she'd had it on her forearm.
No, you're not wrong JZ. I don't think he was supposed to be "Ray" on The Heights. I never watched it though, but it seems doubtful they'd give the abuser a spin-off. They just didn't think people would have a problem with the guy.
He got comments at concerts too.
