It's hard to believe (and it might make you feel just a teeny bit old), but Beverly Hills, 90210, premiered 25 years ago this month on FOX.

The trials and tribulations of the West Beverly High gang quickly became appointment television back in 1990, with teen girls everywhere quickly taking sides as to whether or not they were Team Brenda or Team Kelly.

So how does the 90210 cast look today? Let's take a stroll down Rodeo Drive, errr, memory lane.

As fresh-faced Brenda Walsh, Shannen Doherty was supposed to be playing the girl next door. Unfortunately her behind-the-scenes antics seemed to outshine her good-girl character.

Who would've guessed that two decades later Ian would be battling dangerous sea life in Syfy's Sharknado franchise? He also took an impressive turn around the Dancing with the Stars ballroom for a season.

Gabrielle Carteris received a lot of flack for playing high school newspaper editor Andrea Zuckerman while in her thirties, but her character's intense crush on Brandon made her relatable to girls everywhere.

Luke Perry nailed the whole Rebel Without a Cause persona that was Dylan McKay. It's easy to see why Brenda completely fell for the guy. And he made teens everywhere wish they lived in a posh hotel, too.

These days Luke is trying desperately to put his 90210 days to rest (even though everyone continues to ask him about them), and is working a lot with the UP network on series like Ties That Bind and the TV movie Welcome Home.

Everyone assumed Tori Spelling only snagged the part of Donna Martin because her father Aaron created and produced the show. But can you really imagine anyone else playing that character?

Tori has been the subject of a lot of tabloid fodder since her 90210 days, particularly after the very public exposure of her husband Dean McDermott's extramarital affair. The blonde always seems to bounce back, and has the reality shows to prove it.
