Clare Arnold

From 90210pedia

Clare Arnold, played by Kathleen Robertson, is a character introduced in the first series of the Beverly Hills, 90210 continuity, arriving in Season 4.

Clare is the daughter of California University's Chancellor Milton Arnold. She was largely introduced as a privileged, bold temptress who was used to getting what she wanted. What Clare initially wanted was Brandon Walsh, and she wasted little time in making this clear. During an evening in which the two of them had wound up alone at his home, she made a series of playful passes at him. Brandon, being a CU student at the time, felt uncomfortable due to the position that Clare's father held, and soundly resisted. The two would remain friendly afterwards, however.

She later moved in with and befriended Kelly Taylor and Donna Martin at a beach house apartment. It was during this period that she also began seeing David Silver. An early point of their relationship involved her catching him handcuffed to a bed, and deciding to have her way with him. They were interrupted, however, when her father suddenly arrived outside, causing Clare to leave a much-agitated David alone until he was released later on.

After she and David had broken up, Clare began dating Steve Sanders. Though both were playful, it was during this relationship that Clare began to reveal a more serious and sensitive side as she and Steve fell in love. On one occasion, Clare was able to overcome stage fright by looking out at Steve and directing a song towards him. In another episode, the couple briefly addressed the topic of marriage and where they each stood on it, eventually deciding that they'd simply follow their hearts.

Following their college graduation at the end of the seventh season, Clare reluctantly left Steve—and subsequently, the series—when she accompanied her distraught father out of town, wanting to ensure that he didn't feel alone. Her last on-screen moment was with Steve on the beach.
