Behind the Scenes Stories From ‘90210’

It’s true that everyone wanted Shannen off the show, but what was really the straw that broke that camel’s back was that she cut her hair without telling the producers, which caused all kinds of continuity issues for them. Enough was enough. She was turfed.

5. The “Sharknado” Concept Sort of Started Here

This is pretty odd, but in one scene when Steve is describing someone to Brenda he says that she’s like “a mixture between a shark and a tornado,” to which she replies “that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.” Ian Ziering now stars in the Sharknado films.
