THE CW's planned remake of "Beverly Hills, 90210" is currently heating up with casting sheets making the rounds in Hollywood, and Tori Spelling telling anyone who'll listen that she wants to appear in the new series.

But one pressing problem remains. Is there any way the new show could ever live up to the genius of the original?

With episodes that tackled every classic teen issue, from

getting drunk at the prom to being stalked by your psychopathic roommate from rehab, the Fox series defined a generation of narcissistic, WASP-y kids who liked to daydream about having a higher income level and living in SoCal.

In honor of the new show, we decided to figure out where the characters might be in 2008 - while also checking in with their real-life counterparts.
