Ryan O’Neal’s bad acting driving 90210 cast crazy

[HMG] – Since his beloved partner, Farrah Fawcett left us in June of last year, Ryan O’Neal has rarely been seen. But his recent performance on the CW’s reboot of 90210 has many people there wishing they’ll never see him again;

The 68-year old actor is now taping scenes for a guest appearance on the show, due to start airing in April when 90210 returns from a mid-season break. But he’s driving both the cast and crew up the wall by forgetting his lines.

Due to play Teddy Montgomery’s famous but mostly absent dad, Ryan was spied this week in a quiet Hollywood suburb, filming scenes in a fire-red vintage corvette with Trevor Donovan, who plays Teddy.

The snag is, he’s so bad at recalling his lines, the crew and cast have resorted to writing them on cue-cards [also aptly called 'idiot boards'] which are then hidden in flower pots, table lamps and a dozen other places, so one scene doesn’t take a whole day.

The Enquirer says Ryan’s quite upset by his unprofessional performance and keeps apologizing, but that’s not exactly helping diffuse the overall mood on the set.

But keep this in mind. — The show’s on hiatus, and this would be a great, low-cost way for the CW to drive up the ratings for when it returns. So if you’re a 90210 fan, hold off on the hate-mail until we get proof…
