TVtropolis has the ‘Best of Brenda’ on a Beverly Hills, 90210 Marathon

Saturday, December 9 – 4 p.m. to Midnight ET/PT
(WINNIPEG) From down-home Minnesota to the lavish excess of California – with plot-twisting stops in Mexico and France – TVtropolis traces the exploits of West Beverly High's ‘bad girl’ Brenda Walsh with an eight-hour Beverly Hills, 90210 “Best of Brenda” marathon Saturday December 9 from 4 p.m. to midnight ET/PT.

Each specially selected Brenda-centric episode spotlights the famous emotionally tumultuous twin (Shannen Doherty) as she struggles to do the right thing, often in all the wrong ways. Fans will enjoy Brenda’s ongoing attraction to Dylan (Luke Perry), her romantic fling in Paris and her Mexican cross-border trip in direct defiance of her parents. Amidst the chaos, Brenda frequently seeks the counsel of her twin brother, Brandon (Jason Priestley) and friends Kelly (Jennie Garth) and Donna (Tori Spelling).

Transcending mere television to become an international cultural phenomenon, Beverly Hills, 90210 has influenced everything from pop music to hairstyles (sideburns!) and still maintains devout fans of all ages.
