Contents 1 Conception 2 Season 1 3 Season 2 4 Season 3 5 Season 4 6 Conflicts with Beverly Hills 90210 staff 7 After the departure 8 ( 90210 ) 9 Reception 10 References Conception Brenda and her brother, Brandon Walsh, were living in Minnesota until their father, Jim Walsh, was promoted and forced to travel to Beverly Hills in 1990. The series initially focused on their stories with A new cultural life shock and their relationship with their new friends in Beverly Hills, Kelly Taylor, Dylan McKay, Donna Martin, Andrea Zuckerman, David Silver and Steve Sanders. Season 1 The key development of her character came during a series of episodes involving a forbidden story with Brandon 's solitary friend, Dylan McKay, who had long had the attention of Brenda 's best friend, Kelly. Brenda and Dylan went out together for two years and their relationship quickly became serious. After a frantic dispute with her father, Dylan was consoled and shared a passionate kiss with Brenda. This scene has become one of the most mythical of the series. However, Brenda 's father was immediately against this relationship, due to the bad reputation of Dylan 's father. After two months of relationship, Dylan wanted to have sex, but Brenda was not ready. During a trip to Palm Springs, Brenda went to meet Dylan in a hotel room, but sees him with another girl and jumped to the conclusion that they had made love. Brenda and Dylan argued but quickly reconciled. As a result, Dylan agreed to wait until Brenda was ready. It is during the year - end ball that Brenda will lose her virginity. Soon after, Brenda became worried about being pregnant. It turned out that it was a false alarm, but Brenda separated from Dylan by saying that she was not ready for regular sexual intercourse. Season 2 Despite the breakup, Brenda was hurt by seeing Dylan go out with other girls. Brenda 's feelings for Dylan eventually led the couple back together. Their relationship grew stronger when Brenda met Dylan 's mother, Iris, with whom she tied up. The couple faced another hurdle when Brenda wanted to publish an article about the alarm of her pregnancy but Dylan objected, arguing that it was very personal. Typical of their relationship, Brenda and Dylan were once again reconciled after another dispute. In addition, Brenda was the victim of an armed robbery at the Peach Pit. This scene shocked her a lot and led her to see a psychologist, Dylan helped her a lot when she began to have nightmares about this event. Things get more serious when Brenda spends a lot of time with Dylan without worrying about the limitations imposed by her parents. The latter invited her to a trip to Mexico and Brenda agrees, despite the formal prohibition of her father. The trip will be punctuated by a dispute and a passage at the customs where Brenda will realize that she does not have her passport and is therefore forced to phone her parents. When Brenda 's parents are aware of her trip to Mexico with Dylan, the girl 's father formally banned her from seeing him again. But she refuses to break and hides her relationship with Dylan. Season 3 Early in the summer, Jim, who had recognized the futility of his quarrel with Dylan, offered another option : let Brenda go to Paris for a French immersion program in place of Kelly ( who had dropped out of the program for Helping her mother with her younger sister ) giving Jim, Brenda & Dylan, a necessary setback to the situation. In Paris, Brenda pretends to be a French guide with a cute young man from Wisconsin, Rick. However, a rapprochement is made between Kelly & Dylan on the other side of the ocean. Rick and Brenda come out briefly together after seeing each other in a video store. They split up after Brenda realized that he had more in common with her father than with her. The love triangle that followed Brenda 's return quickly became a milestone in the series that helped increase her popularity and gave rise to the rumors of rivalry announced between Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth. The final confrontation between Brenda, Dylan and Kelly - in which he informs Brenda that he has chosen his best friend - was listed by Entertainment Weekly as one of the greatest moments of television. Season 4 Brenda, still distressed by the fact that Dylan chose Kelly, began the fourth season in Minnesota, where she had decided to enter university. However, hearing about the break between Dylan and Kelly and realizing that she and her old friends from Minnesota have little in common, she decides to return to Beverly Hills and continue her studies at University of California. After her return, she met a rich young man named Stuart ( whom Dylan knew of as a drug dealer in the past ), and soon fell in love with him. The couple get engaged even in the first few weeks of their encounter and choose Las Vegas, forcing Dylan and his friends to come and try to stop them. They succeed by using reverse psychology, pretending that they are in favor of a marriage between the two young people. Brenda 's life also took a few shots during the season. When Donna and Brenda find a puppy on the street, they learn that he escaped from an animal testing laboratory and are helpless when the puppy dies. Brenda then falls into a group of animal rights activists and participates with them in the ransacking of a number of laboratories until she is arrested ( Donna decides at the last minute not to join the group ). After her arrest, the only person in the group who supported her was Dylan ; David Silver questioned her judgment, Andrea was angry that she had damaged laboratories that did not test animals and Kelly told her that Dylan was no longer her boyfriend and that Brenda could not go and look for help whenever she had a problem. It turned out that one of the activists was an FBI agent who offered Brenda a deal not to jail because she had not supported vandalism. As a result, all Brenda 's friends apologized for their behavior towards her. During the fourth season, Brenda is interested in the drama department but it also led to problems : she spoiled her first audition and then went to the director of the play to try again and convince him. She then got the role, but a student made a rumor saying that she had slept to have the role. Unfortunately, this student was the girlfriend of Steve Sanders and the latter believed the rumors, others refusing more or less to believe the denials of Brenda. Steve understood his mistake when the student asked him to attack Brenda to make her miss rehearsals. A little later, Steve 's friend tried to commit suicide, but Brenda and Steve joined forces to save her and Steve was finally compensated by following Brenda 's debut on stage. The director 's praise led her to accept the latter at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts ( RADA ) in London for a year. After Kelly and Dylan last broke up, Brenda finally learned that a relationship was possible between Kelly and Brandon and expressed her blessing. She later spent her last night with Dylan, telling her she would not be gone forever. The couple will reconcile briefly in the final scene of the fourth season, though ( because of Shannen Doherty 's departure ) Brenda 's character was removed from the script and she never returned to Beverly Hills. Conflicts with Beverly Hills 90210 staff Shannen Doherty was notorious for being late and being in conflict with staff. Tiffani - Amber Thiessen replaced Brenda Walsh as a character called Valerie Malone. After the departure Despite the fact that Brenda never appeared on the screen, she was nonetheless present during occasional discussions during the following six seasons of the series. The most significant among them is her reconciliation with Dylan, who was going to move in with her. It is assumed that they were together for most episodes of the seventh and eighth seasons of the series, as during an episode of season 8 where it is learned that Dylan 's half - sister was saved from a life of prostitution and then left to live with Dylan and Brenda in London and Kelly and Brandon mentioned going to visit them for part of their honeymoon. Later, when Dylan returned in season 9, he told his friends that he and Brenda had separated two years earlier. However, it frees Dylan to resume his relationship with Kelly. In Season 5, Dylan rages against Valerie, the Walsh cousin, blaming her for wanting to imitate Brenda and not having the guts to confront the Walsh parents, as Brenda was able to do before. She will also send an announcement to Dylan at the latter 's wedding. Or, in the last episode of the series illustrating the marriage of Donna and David, it is alluded to a party that Brenda had organized when they were still in high school. ( 90210 ) 14 years after her departure, Brenda is back in Beverly Hills. On the advice of Kelly to the new principal, Brenda, become actress, is led to direct the musical of the high school. She will have to deal with the drug problems of the high school girl who plays the lead role in the show and will help her get out of it, which will follow a mutual attachment of the latter. She will also spend a lot of time with Kelly although at times, they will recover some tensions due among others to Dylan. Kelly also learns later that Brenda has slept with Ryan, the high school English teacher, while Kelly has a lot of affection for him. But they will always be reconciled. We also learn that Brenda can not have children, who can count on the support of her friend Kelly. She will go to China and adopt a little girl.
