Silver faced her final — and most brutal — crisis on the show’s final episode. Worst ending ever?
It’s been less than 24 hours since 90210 aired its series finale, and while I’m tickled that Annie (Shenae Grimes) and Liam (Matt Lanter) finally got their heads out of their beautiful butts and became engaged, there’s one less-happy plot point in need of discussing: I can’t believe the show ended with Silver (Jessica Stroup) getting cancer!
No resolution, no silver lining. The girl just has cancer, and that’s it.
But then again, maybe it was the perfect way for Silver’s journey to end. I mean, hasn’t she been consistently dumped on from day one? I believe Silver might be the most unlucky character on television today, and like any good CW journalist, I gathered evidence.
So without further adieu, I present…
10 Reasons Why It Totally Sucks To Be Erin Silver
Reason #1: Silver’s crappy life actually starts on the original Beverly Hills, 90210. During a season four episode “Thicker Than Water,” her half-brother David falls asleep — this is during his meth/oxy-addiction period, mind you — and he loses her at the park.
Reason #2: Flash forward to high school — Silver eventually grows out of her awkward, anti-social phase… only to discover she’s, in fact, bipolar.
Reason #3: She finally reconnects with her estranged mother… who then dies of breast cancer.
Reason #4: Losing her mom is tough, but at least Silver has her sister to lean on, right? … Nope. Kelly suddenly disappears and is never heard from again.
Reason #5: Silver finds comfort in the arms of her loving boyfriend, Teddy. Oh, wait… he’s gay.
Reason #6: Her “best friend” Adrianna switches out her bipolar medication and tries to kill her.
Reason #7: Adrianna then sends a naked picture of Silver to everyone in school.
Reason #8: Thank God high school finally ends, so Silver can get a fresh start at college, right? … Nope. Silver does not get into college.
Reason #9: Flash forward a few years — Silver puts her only remaining embryo into a surrogate… and then the baby dies.
Reason #10: And then Silver finds out she has cancer.
The end.
