Some of the 90210 spin-off characters have been revealed. The new spin-off will focus on the Mills family who is also from the Midwest, and Veronica Mars creator, Rob Thomas said, "There is a plan for bringing back one of the cast members...we haven't talked to any of them." This is very exciting news. I also read that the cast will be more racially diverse, which will be more true to reality considering half of the Beverly Hills population is Middle-Eastern.
These are the characters revealed in Variety:
-Silver, aka Daphne Silver, a wannabe socialite who hosts her own YouTube series. She becomes good pals with Annie and has a crush on Dixon (as well as the only Jewish girl at BevHills High with a black boyfriend -- another hint that producers are considering making Dixon's character non-white).
-Max Silver, Daphne's 24-year-old brother, is a working man who manages the family movie theater at the Century City Mall (the new show's version of the Peach Pit, perhaps?) He seems forever on the verge of a nervous breakdown and appears to be harboring some secrets.
-Navid Shirazi produces the high school's student-run video newscast and is of Middle Eastern descent. He's the consummate high school politician.
Ethan Ward is a likable jock who falls out of favor with the "in" crowd and ends up hanging with the "90210" crew.
-Naomi Bennett is Ethan's super-hot, ultra-rich ex-girlfriend. She appears to be a brat but will end up having more layers.

Is the Silver character related to the David Silver character in the original show?

Yeah, it's derived from David Silver. They're not sure which original cast member is coming back yet. I know that Tori really wants to be on it, and she does have dibs b/c of her old pops that left her nothing in the will. Poor Tori.
Watch it will probably be Nat from the Peach Pit. lol.
