Adrianna Tate-Duncan, 90210

Adrianna Tate-Duncan (Jessica Lowndes)

Originally only scripted as a guest spot in the pilot, Adrianna was added to the main cast in Season 1, Episode 14. A former child star, her character notably suffered from a serious drug addiction. Upon the discovery she was pregnant, Adrianna was unsure of the paternity as her memories of her recent sexual experiences were clouded by her drug addiction.

During the series, Adrianna was in a long-term relationship with Navid, and had several other male love interests over the course of the series.

In Season 2, she met Gia, also a former addict. They shared their first kiss in 2×13 “Rats and Heroes”, and the two embarked on a relationship that ended abruptly when Adrianna walked in on Gia cheating with her ex. Adrianna’s bisexuality was never brought up again.

In the series finale, she ended up with Navid and they planned to spend the rest of their lives together.
