Now don't get me wrong, I am not a Kelly and Dylan fan (no offence to anyone). But rewatching series three lately has got me thinking, did Kelly really steal Dylan? Let's look at the facts:
•Brenda and Dylan hadn't broken up, but they had agreed to cool thing down. •Brenda met Rick, and obviously didn't feel bad anough about Dylan to not spend time with him. •Kelly had no intention of stealing Dylan, they were just spending time together intially. •Dylan was the one pushing for something to happen, Kelly (who did not completely resist) did use Brenda as a reason for them to put aside their feelings, more than once. •When Brenda came back, she didn't tell Dylan about Rick, and Kelly and Dylan didn't tell Brenda about them, as Brenda and Dylan resumed their relationship. •Kelly didn't use Rick against Brenda as she could have. •Kelly did nothing about things when brenda was back, even though Dylan kept talking to her about them. •Kelly and Dylan only got together once Brenda broke up with Dylan.
Now, I'm not saying what Kelly did was right. She lied to her best friend, went behind her back, and did something she knew would upset Brenda very much. But did she actually steal him?
Thoughts?

In a way she really did steal him , but then again it wasn't like Dylan had to be seduced in order to do whatever they did in the cabana and get emotionally attached. but u also have to think about this, even though Brenda also cheated, she did not let Rick have ALL of her (like her heart, she did not love him) thats why she could not be with him. but Dylan DID fall for Kelly over their time spent with each other but he ALSO loved Brenda (therefore you have the B/D/K triangle) the truth eventually came out about Rick, D/K etc. and they all decided to be friends. However it did not last Brenda showed/proved her feelings for Dylan and so did Kelly. Brenda believed that since they had such a strong history with one and another that there was NO WAY Dylan would be with Kelly instead of her, but with that brief time spent over summer (and Dylan knowing he can't "have" Kelly unless he was officially not with Brenda) Kelly won and Dylan wanted her and what was under her dress, and since Brenda was old news to him and since he had "everything" with her already he dumped her like a dirty diaper and moved on to the next "best" thing. However i do not completely blame Kelly. More or so Dylan!. It seemed as though he was just a horny teenage boy moving on to the next "best" thing since Brenda was gone and got attached to Kelly by accident! and Kelly with her long crush for him was to stupid to realize what he REALLY wanted from her and went for him anyway. Soon it did not last... and they broke up because all their relationship was, was a bunch of issues and fighting with TONS of sex, and it did not compare to what he had with Brenda. Sooner or later he noticed it and wanted her back earlier on in season 4 throughout the entire season (which explains the flirting, poetry readings for her, and Kelly's constant jealousy etc.) because he realized that she and she alone was the only one who really understood and loved him but Kelly's skirt kept pulling him back and forth until she found something in Brandon that she didn't have with Dylan so she left his sorry ass . Dylan realized once more that Brenda was the only one for him when she came to say goodbye before she left forever (which explains their "happy" night) together . Later on after more flirting and begging for Kelly and after Toni's death , (you notice that he did not turn to Kelly ) he ran away to Brenda who is his true love ... and lived happily ever after along with Kelly and Brandon! because seasons 8-10 don't exist hehe!

Fascinating... lol and yes if season 8-10 didnt exist this would make perfect sense...
But it did come very clear in season 4 that Dylan and Kelly were not good together (whether a fan or not) because it was just continuous fighting about nothing in particular and then s3x... thats their relationship. They never really did have anything too deep (although they were trying to show that they did in season 3).
I dont know... this is obviously one of the most controvertial topics when it comes to 90210 because there are always heated debates regarding it (which is good).
I think i stand in the same position as 'badbrenda' Dylan was just a horny teenager that had his gf overseas so he was looking for a substitute... and lets face it Kelly was still being lame from the Jake incident so i think she was just looking for someone to love and accept her... whether or not it was appropriate. And she had "loved him since pre-school" or whatever... if you choose to buy that!
lol
So yes - i think the relationship was wrong and a horribly path for the show to go down (personally) but i dont know whether it was actually Kelly's fault directly or more Dylans (both are still to blame ultimately though).

I agree, but I do think it was more tha just sex for them... but neither of them had the connection together that they did with B & B.

i agree with everything Kylie said. I don't think she stole him away. i believe that she develpoed feelings for him that she couldn't fight. And that is why i hate when they say it was ALL Kelly's fault. Because I really think it was Dylans fault because he kept pushing her into it. And also, Kelly liked Dylan wayyy before Brenda even got there, so she had a thing for him before they even started dating. Plus Brenda broke up with him.
Then while Dylan and Bren were together, Rick came back to the US and Bren hung out with him and KISSED him!! Again, I'm not saying that what Kelly did was right, but I definetely don't think that she STOLE him away.

I don't think Kelly stole Dylan away. Brenda and Dylan were having problems before Kelly even came into the romantic picture. Kelly and Dylan both tried on numerous occasions to ignore their feelings towards each other for Brenda's sake. The thing to remember about Brenda and Rick is that Rick wasn't Brenda's best friends boyfriend. (Not that that makes it ok!)

^ That's a very good point too. I think Kelly and Dylan sucked together, but my point was that she didn't steal him. She did lie, and betray, really, but she didn't steal. And Dyaln should be more to blame.

Yes I agree to. And I know that Rick wasn't her best friend's boyfriend. But it was still another guy. And I don't think that were HORRIBLE together, she's better with Brandon anyway. And Dylan is better with Brenda. But they weren't that bad together. towards the end the were bad but in the beginning they were cute.

^ They were worse at the end, but I think that a relationship that starts as dishonestly as theirs never had a chance.

Again well said Kylie. I always say I have no real preference to Kelly with Brandon or Dylan as I liked her with both of them. But I do agree towards the end Dylan and Kelly were just constantly fighting and at each others throats ALL the time. If was definately time for them to be DONE!

Definately. And also, if your relationship starts off like that, will you ever feel secure, really? Kelly would always be thinking Dylan could cheat on her with her best friend, like he did to Kelly (although Donna would never do it), and Dylan would always wonder if Kelly just liked the thrill of the 'steal'. Plus, then the whole Brandon thing would have been hard for Dylan to swallow, and trust Kelly again.

Yes welll said Kylie. and I agree that I liked her with both of them. There were good moments with both of them and there were bad moments. But you're right, when they started fighting near the end, it was time for them to be done.

I don't think she stole Dylan either. I think Dylan just gave up on Brenda because all the drama he had with her father, and all the baggage with Brenda in the past. He took Brenda not coming to Jack's party as her decision not to come, and she didn't defy her her father and go anyway. So I think that he was secretly angry with her for not standing up to her father, like he had told her to do before they left for Mexico. Also with the fact that Brenda went out with Reek while in Paris. Kelly showed up so his decision was made for him. She was there. Kelly was the easy route, she didn't have an overbearing father, past baggage (ie the pregnancy scare, sex issues, Brenda vs. Jim Walsh with Dylan in the middle) In the pool Kelly asks something like she's there because Brenda's not and Dylan says MAYBE. Dylan had lust for Kelly and curiosity, she was new, no baggage. Kelly didn't back off though, which is what a real friend would have done. She kept flirting with Dylan, she was there, Dylan was lonely if Brenda would have stayed I think the whole DK thing would have never happened. It would have been more convincing if there had been a build up to Dylan/Kelly romance (past seasons) Of course once Dylan got with Kelly he wanted to go back to Brenda because Kelly really wasn't his type. When they weren't fighting with each other they really didn't have much to say to each other. Besides a girl can't really steal a guy unless he lets her.

Dylan loved Brenda, but, like most guys, got sick of the drama. Wanted something stress free, and, Kelly is really beautiful too, that helps. When his relationship with Kelly got stressful, he turns back to the (now) stressless Brenda. Hmm... Of course once Dylan got with Kelly he wanted to go back to Brenda because Kelly really wasn't his type. When they weren't fighting with each other they really didn't have much to say to each other. This, again, is a good point. I hate that they pushed the soul mates thing on us, I really do, because I don't feel like Kelly and Dylan would ever be soul mates.
