God! These are the final episodes of the Brenda Walsh era.

till this day Heavenly Brenda (Shannen) is and always will be my American Idol.

[brettteply]

It was like Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding. Where Brenda was Nancy and Laura was Tonya

[prudies.]

I have never understood this arc. Anyone who would have been friends with Brenda would have known that sleeping her way to the top is just not her style. Under any circumstances.

[trinaq]

I love Brenda taking the instinct to refer to Maggie by her full name, a true method acting style. It's a shame that we never got a spin off of Brenda breaking into the acting world, due to Shannen Doherty having been fired. Though, she appeared on the spinoff, at least.

Steve putting things into Laura’s crazy 🤪 head 😳

[jaybarnes]

Steve should have shown up at rehearsal looking for Randolph.

[GretchenNelson-fy]

I’d forgotten that at first, Steve did stick up for Brenda when Laura said that Randolph is famous for sleeping with his leading ladies.

[GretchenNelson-fy]

Can you please post the part when Randolph tells Laura to get lost? PLEASE!

[brettteply]

Brenda got the lead role after showing up at Roy's door for a private audition. And Laura didn't like it ONE BIT

[brettteply]

Laura ended up becoming the main antagonist of the Roy Randolph play arc

[ProWings]

Steve acting like he got away with rape. He should have just left her alone.

[DoubleHeader]

The answer to the title card? Yes, she should.

[brettteply]

Last time on Beverly Hills, 90210. Brenda and Laura competed against each other in the auditions for the lead role of Maggie in the school play. Laura nailed her audition perfectly, while Brenda choked on stage. However Brenda showed up on Roy Randolph's door and gave a private audition.

[brettteply]

Laura tries playing by the theaters rules. But her bad mental state will drive her to take extreme measures to get what she wants

[brettteply]

Coming up on Beverly Hills, 90210. Laura's loss of the lead will anger her so much. Let's just say Laura was willing to some extreme measures

[lizvader]

I undersrand Laura... It didn't seem fair at all!

[jaybarnes]

Wish Brandon told the chancellor he wasn't interested in Clare.

[Angel-xdlt]

Brenda was in College and she was in the play and then Steve spread rumors about her
sleeping with Randolph and some actors will go to extremes to get a part just to be noticed and adored. Its Hollywood and Hollywood is corrupted and I was an extra in Deep Impact in 1998 and I did acting only community theater but I had small parts. I think that if your ambitions are to sleep with the director like Brenda did then Laura was no different. They both were ambitous young girls that wanted the part of Maggie the only thing is that Laura wanted to hurt Brenda and get her out of the way. Didn't Steve mention to the gang that Laura was so angry with Brenda that she wanted to do a Tanya Harding! Tanya Harding knock Nancy Kerrigan in the knee and everyone heard that WHY! Tonya Harding was banned from Skating and she paid her dues and if she knew about the attack on Nancy
she did feel bad for Nancy and it was a huge story. People are like that I guess Its crazy. People will go to extremes to get what they want. NOT ME!

[PINKKYLIELOUISE]

Can't blame Laura for being a bit peeved
