Awkward high school freshman. Radio DJ. Drug addict. Oh, the storylines of David Silver (Brian Austin Green), one of the original Peach Pit hangin', West Beverly graduating, beach club partying members of Beverly Hills 90210 from 1990 to 2000.

David finally found his way into the cool crowd with Dylan, Brandon, Brenda, Steve, step-sister Kelly, and Donna, who also became his on-again, off-again girlfriend, eventually marrying during the series finale. In the recent 90210 spin-off though, it's revealed the couple had separated. Since it seems Donna wasn't "the one" after all, it's not hard to figure that perhaps one of the other California girls could have been good, if not better, for him than Tori Spelling's alter ego.

Valerie Malone

Tiffani-Amber Thiessen played Val, the troubled Walsh family friend from their Minnesota days, as well as antithesis of the wholesome midwest girl, who took over Brenda's room when she went to London to act.

Valerie was shrewd and had a number of romances on the show, the one with David being her most serious. In Season 6, the two mixed business with pleasure as co-owners of the Peach Pit After Dark. The David/Valerie bond was quite emotional; he turned to her when his mother attempted suicide and she trusted him enough to confide about her abusive father. A match made in family dysfunctional heaven.

Brenda Walsh

When David looked to his inner circle for a relationship, perhaps he should have gone brunette instead of blonde. When the Walshes first relocated, the twin's personality was just as sweet and naive as David, nothing like the fast Kelly and spoiled Donna--until Season 2 when she got all rebellious and devious.

The two could have been good for each other; David keeping her from getting hurt by bad boy Dylan who left Brenda for Kelly when she went to Paris, and she could have taught the BH native some good midwest values.

Nikki Witt

Dana Barron was cast as an underclassman who went after big man on campus Brandon in Season 3. She wore him down and he started dating her. This was merely a placeholder relationship for him. The allure of dating a senior is understandable but a time-suck for her all the same.

She had flirted with David until she found out that he was dating Donna, who was spending the summer in Paris. Now here's someone with integrity. Not only that but age-appropriate; remember, David was a year younger than the rest of the group. (He graduated with them because he took a double load to advance a year.)

Claudia

Christina Fredlund's character was a Venezuelan janitor at the Peach Pit After Dark who calls into David's radio show after he asks listeners to find him a girlfriend. Claudia made light of David's challenge, which ultimately made him like her even more.

The two began dating and things were progressing quite nicely, then Claudia broke the news: her visa was expiring and she was going to be deported. David agreed to marry her so she could stay in the U.S., but she didn't want him to get in trouble and opted to return to South America. She was a really lovely, hard-working person. He should have married her for real.

Camille Desmond

Josie Davis showed up in season 10 as David's final girlfriend before he reunited with Donna for good. It's too bad, as Camille had it all: beauty, intelligence, and ambition. She was not only a fashion magazine writer but later partnered with Donna at her store Now Wear This. This maverick even has the savvy to take Donna Martin Originals nationwide via the internet.

David's emotions were all over the place with his New York job offer and Donna's realization that she wanted him back; he couldn't think straight. If he had, David probably would never have let this catch go.

Tuesday

This character was played by Shana Furlow who appeared in Season 1. David & Co. were on his way to Palm Springs to visit his grandparents. After running into each other at a desert gas station, where she gets her flirt on, the budding DJ invites her and some friends over. She accepts and eventually, they find alone time. Even though she and David totally hit it off, she's still getting over her ex.

Given their immediate connection, David should have waited this one out and visited grandma and grandpa more, getting together with her each time. Finding a girl outside of not just the BH crowd, but the area probably would have done him good.

Gina Kincaid

Vanessa Marcil joined the cast in Season 9 as Donna's ice-skating champion cousin with a bad attitude who gets fired from her ice show gig. Resentments of the Martins, Donna, in particular, run deep because of their wealth, while Gina grew up poor.

Aside from being supported by David when he tried to help her get through her bulimia problems, a big thing they had in common was philandering parents. David's dad was a notorious cheater, and Gina finds out that her mother had an affair with Donna's father, making them half-sisters. These two had a soulmate quality, but David ended things because she just couldn't shake the allure of Dylan.

Clare Arnold

Kathleen Robertson portrayed the wild child daughter of California University's chancellor. She was a senior in high school when the others were CU freshman. In Season 5, Clare became Kelly and Donna's roommate at he beach apartment and enrolled in CU as well.

Clare eventually matured and became romantically involved with David. At an early point of their relationship, she found him handcuffed to a bed and decided to have some fun, which was interrupted when her dad showed up. They also made an X-rated video. In nothing else, Clare was fun, which would have been a welcome change from the ever-pouty, melodramatic Donna.

Sue Scanlon

Nicholle Tom was the younger sister of David's one-time best friend Scott Scanlon, who died accidentally when he was fooling around with a loaded gun. A year later the teen starts at West Beverly. She's part of the backpack crowd who wears plain clothes leaving the house then changes into punk gear hidden in her carryall. For her, high school is a chance to flip the script on her unrequited crush on David.

He might only have been able to see her as his friend's little sis, but kids grow up. Sue became a pretty young woman who she has a connection with David that no one else can understand: the loss of their brother/buddy, Scott. David should have given this one a chance.

Sophie Burns

Fiery redhead Laura Leighton portrayed an aspiring actress in the ninth season, who used Steve for his show biz contacts--his mother. David was so smitten, he risked his friendship with the celebrity son to have a relationship with Sophie on the down-low. In the end, David chose one of his best friendships over the Hollywood wanna-be.

Sophie and David had real chemistry, not to mention similar dreams: hers on the silver screen and his in the music business. Perhaps, instead of having David decide between the two, Steve would have stepped aside, the couple might have ended up walking red carpets at the Oscars and Grammys.
