‘Beverly Hills, 90210’ actor says Jennie Garth age-gap romance 'would be illegal' today: More ‘prudish now'
Fox News
During an appearance on the “Still The Place" podcast, Grant Show opened up about the “creepy" romance between his character and Jennie Garth's character on "Beverly Hills, 90210."
"They cast me for ‘Melrose Place’ knowing that they were going to put that character on ‘90210’ sort of to springboard ‘Melrose Place,'" Show said. "It wasn’t the spinoff [or] any of that kind of thing. It was, like, they knew this all going in. And then I did three episodes of ‘90210’ [as] Jake." "Grant is such a straightforward, ethical guy that he would never do that today. But at the time it was romantic. We forget how badly those things age." Christina Dugan Ramirez is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.
Jake Hanson was introduced on "90210" as a handyman hired to build "a gazebo for Kelly’s family in her backyard." Garth and Show's characters shared a kiss in the "Melrose Place" pilot episode.
