Question
Seems like you helped some people out about songs used on the show...
The song "Don't Dream It's Over" by Crowded House was used at the end of an episode involving Brenda and Dillon.  I've been driving myself crazy trying to figure out which episode it was...any idea?
Thanks

Answer
Hello Fran,

I cannot think of any time the song was actually used on the show involving and/or during a Brenda/Dylan scene. However, maybe one of these times is what you are thinking of:

The song was used on the special "The Best Moments of 90210" that aired on January 24, 1996 during the 6th season (1995-1996) and was hosted by Tori Spelling during a segment that centered on the Brenda/Dylan romance.

It was also used at the end of the episode “Truth and Consequences” (May 4, 1994) during the preview for the episode “Vital Signs” (May 11, 1994) during the 4th season (1993-1994). This is probably what you are thinking of because it was completely centered on Brenda & Dylan. The preview has the song playing in the background while the voice over states: After Brenda & Dylan broke up, she was out of the picture, but she was never out of his heart. Next week, they'll discover first love never dies.

Brief scenes include: (from Season 3) Brenda storming out of Dylan's house after he finally revealed he had a summer romance while she was in Paris; Dylan & Kelly kissing; and Brenda standing in the Peach Pit. Clips from "Vital Signs" used in the preview: Roy commenting on the St. Genesius medal Dylan gave her as an opening night gift and Brenda telling Dylan that he was the only one that really supported her during the auditioning process and leaning in to kiss him on the cheek.

Hope this answers your question,
