Character Bio

Kelly Taylor photo
Kelly Taylor, portrayed by Jennie Garth, is a fictional character who was the female lead of Beverly Hills, 90210 for the majority of the show's duration. Initially presented as a "spoiled teen vixen," the role was gradually expanded by producers. Subsequently, Kelly became instrumental in launching the first spin-off, was written with a more compassionate demeanor, overcame several perils and personal challenges, and attracted many romantic suitors and triangles. Appearing for the entirety of the series' run, the character is noted for her development from youth to adulthood.

Kelly appears prominently in a majority of the shows which compose the Beverly Hills, 90210 franchise. In addition to her role in launching the spin-off Melrose Place, Garth was the first performer from the original show to be cast in the third spin-off, 90210. Having appeared in the most series premieres, as well as the most episodes of any figure throughout the continuity, she is the de facto central character of the Beverly Hills, 90210 franchise.

Kelly Taylor Quotes

01x23 - Zero Tolerance Season 1 / Episode 23: - Zero Tolerance

Jen Clark: Didn't you and Ryan date?
Kelly Taylor: Yes, briefly, a while ago.
Jen Clark: I thought so. I'm rarely wrong about vibes. You know, I think academics are terribly sexy. And I don't get to mean teachers. When I was at Yale, I briefly dated someone in the registar's office.
Kelly Taylor: You don't say.
Jen Clark: He was pretty much a bore, actually. Although I did get to read my... uh, recommendation letters from high school. That was sweet. Most of them were rather glowing. There was one, though that was slightly less glowing.
Kelly Taylor: I wrote that letter to Yale because it's my job to give the colleges an honest appraisal of the students here.
Jen Clark: Uh-huh. You said that in your opinion, I was "a narcissistic sociopath with no moral compass". Did you really think that Yale was going to listen to you? A guidance counselor? Especially, after I told all of them how you hold an irrational grudge against me? I had an impeccable transcript. I was the president of the senior class. I'm a legacy. I got in early.
Kelly Taylor: That's because you stole Liz Hartigan's term paper and passed it off as your own.
Jen Clark: [makes a wicked smirk] Oh God, are you still going on about that? You're like Ahab. Man, you are such a busybody.
Kelly Taylor: Drop the innocent act, okay? You may have fooled Yale and everyone else here, but you can't fool me because I know what kind of person you really are. Self-centered, devious, willing to do whatever it takes to get what you want.
Jen Clark: [continues to sneer] Take it easy, okay? I haven't even slept with Ryan yet.
Kelly Taylor: No, this has nothing to do with Ryan. It has to do with you stealing that girl's term paper right out of a teacher's desk and submitting it as your own so you could beat her out as class valedictorian.
Jen Clark: [continues to talk in a innocent and charming tone] That was never proven. Plus, I am appalled that you think so little of me. Simply appalled. Do you make stuff up like that all the time just so you can feel secure? Oh hey, being that you're a guidance counselor, maybe you can give me a little guidance about Ryan. Tell me, Miss Taylor, what does he like in bed?

01x23 - Zero Tolerance Season 1 / Episode 23: - Zero Tolerance

Kelly Taylor: Can I talk to you for a second?
Ryan Matthews: Sure. What's up?
Kelly Taylor: Uh, there is something you should know. Jen is not a nice person. I know her pretty well. She's a compulsive liar. She's practically a sociopath. She used to have everybody snowed over while she went to school here, but not me.
Ryan Matthews: Look, I'm sorry. I should have asked you if I could bring a date here tonight. Jen told me that you would say something like this about her. I didn't mean to disrespect you, Kelly.
Kelly Taylor: Wait. No, no, no, no...
Ryan Matthews: [cutting her off] I don't want to hear any more. I just... I though we were cool after that night and you know, we said no strings attached.
Kelly Taylor: You know what? I'm not trying to be jealous. I'm trying to be your friend. I'm not intrested in you anymore. I'm not.
Ryan Matthews: Is there someone else?


Kelly Taylor: [frustrated and beat] I've moved on.
