Spoiler: 90210 - I hate to admit it, but I actually missed you while you were away

It has been weeks since the last new 90210 episode aired and if you remember, the previews they showed were rather intriguing. I'm not going to go into too many specifics about the show, but I do have this to say: Are they trying for a nervous breakdown/possible suicide storyline with Silver? She started by getting a tattoo of Dixon's name, then in this episode she was extremely sex crazed and wanted to do it at every moment and in every setting. Additionally, as a part of a school project, Silver puts together a movie in which she shows her and Dixon having sex. She then later breaks down - continually acting crazy - and freaks because people keep asking her "are you out of your mind?" She is at the tipping point and acting manic. I am not sure what to expect next but the only thing I know for sure is that she is acting crazy. (Update: TvGuide.com has this article about Silver's storyline last night. In the comment section, someone mentions she is probably bipolar. That makes sense but it doesn't mean I enjoy where they are going with it...)

Another point I want to make is that I appreciate how these main characters are high school age and are shown at school. Them being in school is actually a part of the storyline, which adds to the believability of the show. It is so easy for shows to allude to school without ever really showing them there, but here the teenagers are students first.

On a side note, did anyone else notice the scene where Adrianna and Annie are talking in the hallway and the guy walks over to them and calls Adrianna Juno? Very witty.

I have continually willed myself to not become addicted to this show, but I will most likely watch again next week and the week after. Are you still watching? Did you enjoy this first episode back?
