 When Alexandria Hudson (played by Shannen Doherty (qv)) first  arrives on the show, she is coming out of her limo and is greeted by  a valet. He asks her how she likes Hawaii and she replies, "It beats  the hell out of Beverly Hills." This is an obvious reference to her  days as Brenda Walsh on the teen soap  _"Beverly Hills, 90210" (1990)_ (qv).
