90210 can't get the real Dylan McKay, so what do they do? Create a character that fits his description and then name him after his portrayer, Luke Perry. Duh. Producers are casting the role of Luke, an impulsive, sexy, charismatic, mysterious bad boy who differs from every other guy on the show in one key way: He's not a total pretty boy.

That is so laughable. Do they REALLY think they can get ratings by doing this. I mean come onnnnn, it is silly.

Haha that's actually quite funny. They're taking the piss out of Perry.

^ i totally agree guys, they think this is going to give the ratings a boost, what a joke.

We need the real Dylan back!

While we do need the real Dylan back, I think its pretty funny that they're bringing "Luke" if they can't get the real Luke Perry back.

yea if they try to replace Luke... oh man thats not going to go well for most fans plus critics.... i think its just going to cause more problems!

The article is a bit tricky but I think it means that they are bringing on a new character named Luke, which will be a bad boy. I think thats exactly what this show needs. They need a Dylan McKay character badly. I think its weird that they would name him Luke though.

If they are recasting Dylan McKay well then....thats just unforgiveable and NUTSS.

Dylan cannot be replaced. I wont be the same, and their is only one Dylan and it is Luke Perry.
