BH90210 moment #10

Ray Smashes The Pumpkins
In Season 4, Donna, for some reason, started dating this soft-voiced blue collar acoustic guitar boy Ray Pruit (played by Jamie Walters, who actually had some acoustic guitar hits around the time – ‘How Do You Talk To An Angel’ – and if you remember that song, you remember it with anger). He turned out to be semi-abusive, because all “other” characters on 90210 must have deep flaws in comparison to our main heroes. Ray pushed Donna down the stairs in Palm Springs in the finale of Season 4 and even though Donna is the most spineless doormat-like character in all of history, she started staying away from him about 8 episodes after the abuse started. Ray kept trying to get back with her and as a blue-collar love gift brought her all these pumpkins from the pumpkin patch his alcoholic chain-smoking mother ran, which were on the balcony of the beach house compound where Donna and Kelly and Claire lived. Anywayz, this guy named Griffin, who is in KEG house with Steve and Jon Sears, totally wants to date Donna so he takes her out to Catalina Island and Ray FINDS OUT and he totally wants Donna back and so his little blue-collar heart directs him to go to the compound and SMASH ALL THE PUMPKINS and there is pumpkin carnage all over the beach house deck area. Surprisingly, this does not win Donna back and Ray left the show soon after under a vague implication that he was the campus rapist (if there are too many evil characters, we get confused, so they had to consolidate).
