10 Shows That Have Used Lesbian Love To Boost Ratings

Lesbian Plots on TV

Rumer Willis’ punky lesbian character, Gia, on “90210” will stick around for a little longer than we thought, according to Entertainment Weekly. Gia will seduce Jessica Lowndes’ character, Adrianna, but supposedly this girl-on-girl action isn’t simply about saving this show that should have died already. “This isn’t a fling,” “90210” executive producer Rebecca Sinclair said. “We’re coming at this [relationship] from a genuine place and not going, ‘Let’s do a titillating story that will grab some promotion.’” They’re trying to fill the void of gay and bisexual characters on the show, she added. Yeah, sure.

Anyway, “90210” isn’t the only show to use a lesbian story to boost ratings, but, fortunately, some shows keep their lesbian characters around for more than a few episodes.

Every TV Show Needs A Lesbian For A Few Episodes

Rumer Willis on 90210

Oh, goody. Rumer Willis (Bruce Willis and Demi Moore’s oldest kid) will join one episode of 90210 this fall as “Gia, a punky lesbian” at West Beverly High School’s Blaze News.

Hahahaha. The casting directors at 90210 think lesbians worked at the school newspaper. The lesbians were in marching band. Can’t you people get anything right? [L.A. Times]

Alas, Bruce and Demi’s eldest daughter is just the latest in a long and prestigious line of TV lesbians, who usually stick around for a few episodes and then go back where they came from.

Click through to see who gives “The L Word” and “Buffy The Vampire Slayer”—two shows with lesbian characters who weren’t just stunt casting!—a run for its money.

90210 Threatens To Take Over Twilight Sequel

AnnaLynne McCord

AnnaLynne McCord, Naomi Clark on “90210,” may be cast in “New Moon,” the “Twilight” sequel. Filmmakers are considering her for Heidi, a “fisher” who brings humans to the Volturi vampires to consume. McCord’s “90210” co-star Kellan Lutz will reprise his Emmett Cullen role, as well. Too bad Heidi and Emmett don’t have any romantic scenes together. Maybe then we’d know definitively whether McCord and Lutz are dating. Dakota Fanning is in talks to play Jane, a member of the Volturi family. Unlike McCord, Fanning didn’t even have to audition. [E!

    The Not-So Secret Life Of Tristan Wilds

    I first noticed Tristan Wilds when he starred in “The Wire” as Michael Lee. He was one cold-blooded drug dealer and killer on the hit HBO show, but he also had a soft spot for his younger brother and friend Dookie. Most recently, Tristan has been showing more of his soft side and sexy side on “90210.” I can’t wait to catch him as Zach Taylor in “The Secret Life of Bees,” a Civil Rights era film based on the novel of the same name. And now that I know he has a really great voice, I’m really excited to hear his debut album, which he is currently working on. Talented, sexy, smart and musical…I think I’m in love!

    “Bride Wars”: “Mean Girls” For Grown Women!

    Do you ever feel old while watching movies like “Mean Girls” or shows like “Gossip Girl” and “90210” because you’re completely out of the characters’ age range? Sometimes I do. I think to myself, “Why is this stuff so entertaining to me? I don’t have these issues anymore. Am I losing precious brain cells by watching fluff?” Well now we can enjoy bitchy entertainment without remembering our age, thanks to a little movie called “Bride Wars.”

    Recap + Poll: 90210 Winks & Nods At Some Classic Storylines

    It’s becoming increasingly clear that the new 90210 is going to rip off certain aspects of story lines from the old Beverly Hills, 90210. On last night’s episode there were two such instances that were straight up nods to the old Nine-Oh. Read on…

    The Daily Hotness: Ryan Eggold

    Ryand Eggold

    So, I totally HATED the new 90210. [Sigh. We can’t agree on everything!—Editor] Ugh, don’t get me started on the stupid script that just seemed like a combo of every teen genre hit from High School Musical to Gossip Girl. But even sadder than the lighting on Shannen Doherty is the fact that this makes Tori Spelling the smart one for quitting this train wreck. But alas, there’s a light at the end of that dark, dark two hour season premiere special, and that shining star is Ryan Eggold. The West Bev High English teach is sexy, clever, and actually making his lines believable—all that and puppy dog blue eyes makes me hot for teacher! Unlike the totally disposable plot, I can’t get this studly smartypants out of my head. Good news for me (and my best friend Megs), he might be 24 in real life, but he likes the older ladies.  When he’s done with Kelly in a couple episodes, we’ll be waiting to fight over him. For now, we hope the producers find a reason to get him to take off his shirt.
