Jason Priestley Reveals Real Reason Brandon and Kelly Never Married
Jason Priestley reveals that Kelly and Brandon were originally supposed to marry in Beverly Hills, 90210, but the storyline changed because he left the show.
For decades, fans of the iconic 1990s television series have debated one burning question regarding Kelly Taylor: should she have chosen the dependable "good guy" Brandon Walsh or the brooding "bad guy" Dylan McKay?
While viewers watched Kelly ultimately give Dylan another chance at the close of the series, actor Jason Priestley reveals that the original script was destined for a very different wedding bells conclusion. The narrative trajectory shifted strictly because of his departure from the show.
Recalling the dramatic twists, Brandon and Kelly were mere moments away from walking down the aisle in the season eight finale before the wedding was abruptly called off. They remained a couple into the ninth season until Brandon packed his bags for Washington, D.C.
Reflecting on the storyline years later, Priestley confessed that his exit single-handedly derailed the planned marital union between the two beloved characters. Co-star Jennie Garth echoed the sentiment, admitting she was furious when the writers scrapped their wedding.
Ultimately, fans favoring Brandon can finally find solace in knowing that the creators originally intended for Kelly to marry the quintessential good guy, proving that real-world scheduling often trumps television destiny.
