90210 picks up another Gilmore Girls producer

As reported earlier, Gilmore Girls producer Rebecca Kirshner joined 90210 as executive producer. She’s been receiving a lot of early praise for her work, bringing out episodes that are “sharper and funnier”, and which are a “vast improvement” over previous scripts.

According to Ausiello, another Gilmore Girls producer is heading to 90210 too! Gayle Abrams recently joined the 90210 writers’ room – Gayle was co-exectuive producer on 22 episodes of Gilmore Girls. Together they’re sure to make the show a lot sharper than it currently is.

Rob Estes in "90210"

For those of you who watched the premiere episode of the new 90210, you may have recognized a familiar face: Rob Estes. Rob Estes plays Harry Wilson in 90210, but was Jess’ father Jimmy on Gilmore Girls.

In 90210, Rob Estes has a lead role as Harrison (Harry) Wilson, the father who takes his family from Kansas and moves to Beverly Hills. He’s the son of Tabitha Wilson and Kelly Taylor’s (Jennie Garth) old neighbor. He went to West Beverly Hills High and decides to accept a position there as the principal.

Harry Wilson being principal of West Beverly Hills High doesn’t really thrill his kids, Annie (Shenae Grimes) and Dixon (Tristan Wilds), who now attend the high school. And it’s a whole new lifestyle for the family.

Rob Estes has had other strong roles on shows including Melrose Place, CSI: Miami, and recently in Women’s Murder Club. He started out in the business as a stunt double. Since then, Rob has done a lot of acting on television and on stage.
