Is it just us, or is he being a bit hypocritical?
Ryan Eggold, who has a supporting role in the new 90210, is “saddened” by the idea of Melrose Place being remade.
Eggold said in a new interview, “It’s extremely depressing that there’s no original content to be made. Hollywood seems to be out of ideas and just taking old things that have worked and redoing them.”
He probably just forgot he’s in a “remake/spinoff” show where he plays a young English teacher at West Beverly High School.
He added, “I know there’s writers out there with new material, so it just seems lazy to take old shows that have worked and do them again.”
When asked to describe the new 90210 he says:
“It’s hard to say what it is. People call it a remake, or a spinoff – I don’t know what the heck it is! We take the premise from the original show, which is this family moving from the Midwest to Beverly Hills and then being lost in a new world. The basics are all there, and then we add a lot of new storylines, characters and things like that.”
Sounds a lot like what the new Melrose Place is going to be, which he was just trashing.
We bet the producers will be having a long chat with him soon!
