I stopped by because I got the urge to watch some 90210 on Hulu and check up on this old site way back from the old days of the 'net. I realized the contents page was gone, as was any way to read the old story. So I fixed all the links. I'm not sure what happened, but everything should be back on the contents page.
Twenty years have gone by since the end of the show and the fandom is not as strong as it once was back in 2000 when the show was ending. I still take Part 2 out from time to time, but haven't really put a ton of effort into it in a while. I'm following the "trilogy rules". In this one, everything is much bigger and unknown secrets are revealed. I always envision Part 2 in a trilogy to be the "dark" chapter of the story, which tears everything asunder. To make things bigger, I bring in the Melrose Place, Models, Inc., 90210, and Melrose Place (2009) casts and characters to create a streamline universe since shared universes are all the rage these days.
The plot hasn't changed and I'm sure anyone who has kept up with the progress is wondering why I chose two obscure characters like Roger Azarian and Darla Diller to have major roles. The answer is that they're a little more flexible and less-developed than the main cast and can be altered as needed to fit the storyline, although I don't completely change anyone for the sake of the plot.
Part 2 will be more like a daytime soap opera mixed with an action movie, much like the first one. My goal is to get everyone to where they were when the 90210 and 2009 Melrose Place spinoffs started. Part 3 will then jump forward to circa 2013 at the 20-year high school reunion and all fates will be resolved in my little head canon of the Beverly Hills, 90210 universe. Stay tuned...

Another three years have passed and gone without a sequel produced and I apologize to anyone who may still be out there waiting. This was due in large part to some major personal issues within my life which caused me to abandon the story for a time. These issues were beyond my control as I've had a few major losses over the past three years.
However, some time has now passed and while life still continues to act up at times, I'm getting back into this as I'm currently reading through what I already had written and still have my notes to work from going forward. I had made major progress after my last update and slowly working my way towards the climax when life threw me a few curve balls.
With the reboot (which I am not a huge fan of) currently on FOX, I figured now's a good time as any to jump back into this labor of love I am still determined to finish one day. I still plan to make it a trilogy, but Part 2 has to be done first and then I'll worry about the third one.
I've thought about moving this page to a more updated website, but after thinking about it, figured this perfect for a show that was popular in the 90's and very fitting for the time being portrayed. So, it will remain here as long as angelfire is in existence.
Also, the keeper of this page was sad to hear of the passing of Luke Perry earlier this year and sends out condolences to those who knew him. RIP, Luke Perry. More updates to come...

Three years later and I'm still chipping away at this. I do apologize for anyone who is waiting patiently. This story has gone off in directions I didn't foresee, which has expanded the length and plot beyond its original intention.
That said, I have enough of it done and planned so that I can give you a plot summary to "Episode II - Worlds Collide":
On a dark night on a Malibu Beach, several lives are about to change. Noah Hunter, upon discovering a mysterious item in his late father's belongings, frantically reaches out to both Dylan McKay and Brandon Walsh for help, only to be executed mafia-style by a long-lost enemy. Roger Azarian witnesses the crime and goes into hiding with his fiance, which begins a race against time to bring the killers to justice.
As the gang arrives into town for Noah's funeral, the murder investigation is headed by Brandon's former flame, Tricia Kinney, who is now working for the F.B.I. Her investigation begins to trace the roots of the McKay-Marchette feud, as well as exposing a secret shadow group who are not ready to be exposed.
On the same night, Kyle McBride and Jane Andrews are preparing for their wedding in a few days, but the vows are put into jeopardy when Jane believes she spots her presumed dead sister, Sydney, walking along the beach. To further put a strain on their upcoming nuptials, incriminating photos of Kyle McBride surface and cast down upon Jane's ability to trust him, which causes her to turn to old friends from her Melrose days for help.
Meanwhile, Carly Reynolds has returned to town and moves into the Melrose Place complex, but is harboring some dark family secrets which could rock the zip code and have connections to other events going on in town. She enlists Steve's help to solve these problems, which starts to drive a wedge between Steve and Clare, all while testing the resolve of everyone's friendships.
Dylan McKay must uncover the McKay family secrets as Tricia's investigation deepens and begins to uncover the sins of his father. Jack McKay's secret past could come back to haunt everyone as the stakes are raised by a mysterious figure out for revenge and could have dire consequences for the entire city of Los Angeles.
Obviously, that's subject to change, but I'm pretty deep into this now and I feel pretty confident that this will be finished within a year's time, but I have said that before. I am managing about 60-70 characters with this one, which is the reason for the holdup.
After Episode II is completed, I will have Episode III to write, which will be just as massive, but Episode II will be posted once completed. Stay tuned...

It's been a few months, but I'm still at this. With the spinoff ending, now I have a complete picture of what I'm working on and towards, so it's given me a little bit of a target goal and direction. I've knocked out about a hundred pages worth of script and I'm pretty happy with the content so far, but there's a lot of story and a mass amount of characters, so it's taking a little longer than I had planned.
The previously announced Phases plan won't happen. With the the end of 90210, I'm going back to the original idea and making this a trilogy.
Final Resolution II will take place in 2003, five years before the spinoff and giving the 90210 universe enough distance for the twists to sink in without having to be mentioned on the spinoff shows. It will start with the death of a main character and the impending nuptials of Kyle McBride and Jane Andrews bringing back the Melrose Place crew, along with the mysterious return of Sydney Andrews.
Final Resolution III will take place in October 2013, with the original Beverly Hills, 90210 gang attending their 20-year reunion coinciding with the wedding of Liam Court and Annie Wilson. Plus, there will some Melrose Place closure as well for one massive ending to over twenty years of television guilty pleasures.
I hope there's still some out there who wish to read these. I'll hit some forums as I get closer to completion. Take care to anyone still out there.

Ten years have passed since I posted this story online. I'm not sure how many stop by here anymore, and I know I keep saying this, but this sequel project is not dead. I have completed my initial re-watch of every series in the 90210 continuity. It took a very long time, but I got lots of ideas for the upcoming saga sequels.
Originally, I had planned on writing a trilogy, but with the new shows spoiling my plans, I have decided to expand it out to five stories, all in an effort to merge all five of the shows. I'm taking the Marvel's The Avengers approach to this thing, i.e. bringing all of the characters together for a massive storyline with the possibility of going back later and doing smaller, more intimate stories for certain characters.
Phase II and Phase III will take place in the 2004-2005 timeframe to bridge the gap between the original show and the reboots of 2008 and 2009. Phase IV and Phase V will take place after the end of the rebooted 90210 goes off the air, as the show is nearing the end of its run. Bluntly, if it makes it through this year, it will be gone next season. Phase V will conclude the saga, but like I said, I may insert smaller stories into my continuity after I'm done.

I'm still working on the second installment of this story. However, reacquainting myself with the characters has proven a monumental task. Ten seasons of Beverly Hills 90210, seven of Melrose Place, one of Models, Inc., 90210 (the spinoff), and Melrose Place (2009). It's been quite an undertaking and I'm still organizing thoughts and plot points.
Just in case anyone stops by, I haven't forgotten about this. Just work and refreshing my memory on a show I haven't watched in years is taking a while.

I can't believe it's been 8 years since I wrote this story. For those that still visit here from time to time, the plan had always been to write two sequels to this storyline. The plan for the second installment included a storyline centered around the sudden reappearance of Sydney Andrews from Melrose Place and her possible dual identity as Sophie Burns on 90210. I was anxiously getting ready to dive into the second script when the plan came to a screeching halt.
It was during this time in which the CW network announced that it would revive the 90210 franchise for its network. Needless to say, this announcement would not only halt any plans I had for a sequel, but it rendered my first effort invalid since Kelly, Brenda, and Donna would appear on the show. I'm a big stickler for continuity and wanted this story to remain in the timeline (within my own brain, anyway), so I decided that I'd pick it back up when the spinoff ended and go from there. A year later, the new Melrose Place was announced as returning as well, along with Sydney Andrews. Needless to say, at this point, I decided that I was done since that would ruin my effort altogether.
However, I was pleasantly surprised when the new developments in both series didn't totally destroy everything I had written before. In fact, some of them were blessings in disguise. The new look of The Peach Pit could be explained by the events in Part 1 while Sydney's return was vague at best.
Furthermore, the new Melrose Place flopped and was canceled rather quickly while 90210 has been consistent, but seems to be nearing its end. Besides, the old characters are pretty much forgotten these days and out of curiosity, I decided to go back and watch the old shows as well as the new ones. I even suffered through Models, Inc. as I planned on getting back to the sequel. I've reposted an edited version of Part 1 so that it fits with the continuity again. Surprisingly, not much had to be changed.
Right now, I'm in the initial stages of planning, but I'm pretty sure I'm actually going to finally move forward on this with Part II set in 2004-2005 to bridge the gap between the old and new while Part III will be taking place after the end of the reboot once it reaches its conclusion.
If you thought this page was dormant, you were wrong. The second installment, subtitled When Worlds Collide and crossing over with all franchises in the continuity, will be coming as soon as physically possible. Stay tuned and thanks for reading.

Hello, and welcome to the site of my fan fiction for Beverly Hills, 90210. My multi-part story is entitled Beverly Hills, 90210: The Final Resolution Saga.
I was a huge fan of the show during its run and will probably always be a fan. However, I felt the show left a lot of loose ends, mostly concerning the Marchette-McKay storyline, and decided to tie them up myself in a script to end the show the way I wanted it done. So, hundreds of pages later, I finally finished, and this was the result.
Keep in mind before reading that this isn't your typical 90210 story. Parts of this tale are extremely dark, violent, and downright disturbing. However, I felt that without the restraints which normal TV writers have, I could do this in my own style. So, while this is mostly a Brandon/Kelly & Dylan/Brenda story, I try my best not to make anyone out to be the bad guy and try to stay true to the personalities of the characters involved.
Which characters are involved? Check out the cast page for the people from the show who get involved in this story, but there are several cameos at the end. This site is a work in progress, so I'll have images or something soon for those who don't remember some of the characters making a return.
Anyways, I started this story in the year 2000 after the finale aired and I was...well, disappointed. I ended up with several different drafts, some of which I have seen posted around various sites, but this is the final draft, the one that I'm happy with the most. This is my "finale after the finale" that I used to tie up loose ends. I would like to send out a special thanks to the members of Rex's 90210 Obsessed Fan Board, who encouraged me to go back and redo this entire story.
Also, the images on the contents page may take a little while to load. I broke it down into 7 different parts. The script was way too long to put on the web as one file, so I had to split it up into pieces.
