Grant Show Critiques '90210' Age-Gap Romance with Jennie Garth

The actor reflects on his character's relationship with a high school student, calling it inappropriate by today's standards.

  • Show and Garth's characters shared a brief but controversial romance on 'Beverly Hills, 90210.'
  • Show described the relationship as 'creepy' and something that 'would now be illegal.'
  • At the time of filming, Garth was 20 and Show was 30, though their characters had a more significant age gap.
  • The romance was intended to bridge '90210' and its spinoff, 'Melrose Place.'
  • Both Show and Garth acknowledge that the storyline feels uncomfortable when viewed through a modern lens.
