Aunt Becky as Cindy Walsh?!

I wasn't going to watch the new 90210 because the "old" 90210 is still too fresh. Not to mention it's on SoapNet numerous times a day. Then I heard Rob Thomas (Veronica Mars) was writing the pilot script and his ideas were being leaked online. Maybe just maybe I'd check it out. Ok, I shouldn't lie- I was going to check it out anyway, but maybe now I would go into it with more of an open mind. Then Rob Thomas backed out and new writers were put in place and once again, I was closing my mind. Sigh.

Today, TV Guide is reporting Lori Loughlin (Aunt Becky) has signed on to be the new Cindy Walsh. Clearly, she's no Carol Potter. Lori was really good on the rather bad "Summerland." It should be fun to see her in a role so different from the Full House character. As for her 90210 husband...no I won't say John Stamos. Ya know, Luke Perry is roughly the same age as Lori Loughlin. Just sayin'...... Ok, I think my vote is for Andrew Shue.

From TV Guide: Assuming CW doesn't veer too far from Rob Thomas' original vision — his pilot script is currently undergoing a rewrite by What About Brian's Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah — Loughlin, 43, will play Celia Mills, an ex-Olympic athlete who relocates to Beverly Hills with her husband (BH High's new principal) and two children. As first scooped by my frenemy at E!, Hilary Duff has been approached to play Loughlin's daughter, Annie.

Hilary Duff? All of this opening and closing of the mind has me reaching for the Motrin.

I don't think Lori Loughlin is that bad, but it's a CW show. Rachel Griffiths level of acting is not really needed. Who knows how much time the adults will even get?
Granted, I might be biased due to my fond memories of watching Full House as a tween. The mention of the TGIF lineup brings me back to Friday night pizza, popcorn, pillows and blankets in the living room with the siblings.
