Kelly Taylor (90210)
For the launch of the series "Melrose Place" in 1992, Jennie Garth made a multi-episode special guest appearance. During the final episodes of "Beverly Hills, 90210" season 2, Grant Show played his "Melrose Place" character Jake, who started a relationship with Kelly which led into early episodes of the spin-off. During Kelly's appearances, her relationship with Jake was largely on-and-off due to his discomfort with her youth. In the end, after weeks of trying to break up with Kelly, Jake pretended to cheat on her, prompting her to leave him. Afterward on both "Beverly Hills, 90210" and "Melrose Place", Kelly, Donna, Jake, and others made occasional comments concerning Kelly and Jake's brief relationship.
