Question
Hi Crystal! I've been re-watching season 6 on reruns this past week and a question suddenly came to my mind. Why didn't Dylan just go to the police when he found out who his father's killer was? It seems like he's just using Toni. I'm a huge Brenda/Dylan fan so maybe that's why I feel this way.

Answer
Hello Kaelyn,

At the end of Season 5, Tom Rose revealed the name of his father's killer while threatening to throw Dylan from the tramway car. Afterward, Dylan contacted Jack's former fiancee Christine who worked for the FBI. Christine returned Dylan's call by leaving him a message on his home phone's answering machine. Her message was that Anthony (Tony) Marchette was a dangerous man and that Dylan was not to go after him himself, she wanted him to leave it to the law enforcement officials (including her). As you see from watching Season 6, Dylan didn't listen to Christine.

About Toni: at the very least, he started out using her to get close to her father.

Take care,
Crystal

Expertise

I have seen all 10 seasons of 90210 and have every episode on tape to locate answers. My expertise is on the first 6 seasons and the characters Brenda and Dylan, but I will attempt to answer any question pertaining to the show. Please no scene/dialogue questions because they are very time-consuming and frustrating. However, I will be happy to clarify misunderstood dialogue due to whispering and such if I'm able to. I will attempt to answer any song question for the original airdates and syndication. NO DVD SONG QUESTIONS PLEASE. Please see my "Life Experience" in my profile for song question updates, it may pertain to your question.

Experience

I have every single episode on tape to find the answers. I watched and taped the show religiously. (All requests for copies of my videotapes/episodes will be declined.)
Update: The song used in "Crunch Time" during David's meth addiction is "Living In A Fantasy" by The Rainbow Band. Many thanks to the fellow 90210 Fan that contacted me with the info when they tracked it down. Also, the song used in "One Wedding and a Funeral" that Dylan & Toni dance to is "Nobody Knows Me" by Lyle Lovett. Same song is used during the scene where Dylan is crying while holding the wedding dress and then kitten. David & Donna's wedding song is "Spend My Life With You" by Eric Benet & Tamia. Same song was Steve & Janet's wedding song.

Education/Credentials
