Jen Clark

From 90210pedia

Jen Clark, played by Sara Foster, is a recurring character seen on 90210, the fourth series of the Beverly Hills, 90210 continuity.

[edit] Introduction

Jen, a bold and vivacious woman, is the daughter of Charles and Tracy Clark, and has a younger sister named Naomi. She returned to Beverly Hills following a departure to attend Yale University and travel Europe, reuniting with her father, her sister, and a number of other people.

[edit] Arrival

Following her return, Jen had a brief encounter with Ethan Ward, Naomi's ex-boyfriend, in which she claimed to have secretly been his "first." Soon afterward, she and her sister met with Charles, who Naomi had been separated from following his split with Tracy. Jen pressured Charles to give Naomi early access to her inheritance, and Charles was ultimately forced to agree. Jen then began a relationship with Ryan Matthews, a young teacher at her old school, West Beverly High. She and Naomi also planned to buy a home together, intending to share the cost. However, when Jen claimed to be having financial difficulties, Naomi took care of the cost herself, with Jen stating that she'd pay her back later. After the sisters had moved in together, Naomi eventually confronted Jen as additional expenses mounted. Jen revealed that she was having greater financial misfortunes than she'd let on, and Naomi became sympathetic.

[edit] Prom night

Jen joined Naomi at the West Beverly Prom, dating Ryan while he was on duty. At the event, she was reunited with her old guidance counselor, Kelly Taylor, who had recently dated Ryan as well. Tension abounded between the women, due largely to Kelly holding a low opinion of Jen's personal character. After the prom, Jen received a phone call which left her frustrated, prompting her to state that she was actively pursuing a divorce.

Later, Jen became resentful when Naomi claimed control of the house and threw an after-prom party. Earlier in the evening, Naomi had attended the prom with Liam Court, who'd asked her to keep their personal discussions private. However, he was unaware that Naomi had already revealed things about him to Jen. Upon discovering this later, Liam was left to believe that he'd been betrayed. He then followed Jen to bed, where the two acted on their mutual spite for Naomi.

Upon finding Liam half-naked, Naomi left the room after declaring their relationship over. Liam then became remorseful when Jen identified herself as Naomi's sister. Believing Annie to be the other girl, Naomi chastised her out in the open. This prompted Annie to leave the party while reporting the underage drinking to the police.

Later, Naomi was comforted by Jen. The party came to an end, however, when police officers arrived on the scene.
