I hadn't heard about the stroke. Damn.
RIP Luke Perry

It's funny. His death had an impact on so many people for some reason. Possibly because of having a massive stroke at 52 isn't common and he was an all around good guy?

Most of the original 90210 fanbase is in their late 30's / early '40s, so they're all having a "Holy human waste, 52? Oh human waste I'm mortal!" moment.

I would say maybe 40s to late 50s. A lot of the 30 somethings weren't into the original 90210. They were the Gossip Girl demographic. 90210 goes back to early 90s. The 30 somethings were still playing with Barbies.

Not this fifty-something. I hated that show.

Same here.
I was too young for Thirtysomething (still in my 20s) and 90210 was for people younger than me.
And Proteus brought the upright beast into the garden and chained him to a tree and the children did make sport of him.
