Rule #1 of living in 90210 land is that everyone has to date each other! On the original 90210, there was the whole Brenda/ Kelly/ Dylan love triangle. Now there’s the Navid/ Silver/ Adrianna/Dixon triangle. And of course, we can’t forget Naomi who dated Liam, who then dated Annie, all of which are great friends now. Umm, isn’t there anyone else at West Beverly High that they can go on a date with? Aren’t any of them on Facebook?Although those rules may apply in La La Land, in real life, if you were to date a friend’s ex, most likely they would be angry, hurt and would probably egg your car. I know if my best friend started dating my ex, she would not be happy. Nor would I, if it were the other way around. Jeez, if an ex comments on a Facebook post, it’s a big deal, let alone starting a relationship!But 90210 isn’t the only TV show where ‘the gang’ dates… well… everyone else in the gang. The rule also seems to apply to Friends, Gossip Girl, Desperate Housewives, How I Met Your Mother… I can keep going, but you get where I’m going with this.Would U date a friend’s ex? And if you did, do U think they would be okay with it?

Jen Kucsak is currently living the cliche of an unemployed writer trying to make it out in Hollywood. Eventually she is going to write, executive produce, and star in her own TV show, most likely a sitcom loosely based on her life, and the people she knows... or she'll just write a book about it. (SPOILER ALERT: If you think you may possibly be in this show and/or book, please contact her now if you are not interested. Sadly, if you are crazy, you will most likely be in it anyways. Jen sincerely apologizes in advance for any inconvenience).
