Aside from being hot Shannen Doherty IMO was the best actress on the show. Without her Brenda would have sucked ass IMO. And I for one hated the latter characters except Val. Everyone else felt like cheap replacements for the original cast members.

Here is a new cast photo released by The CW

hmmm.... very interesting.

yup... when Brenda left it was crap, she was the reason I watched.

Though I did enjoy Kelly & Brandon

[detroitpiston]

They just showed a promo for the show during Reba reruns and it had a remixed version of the original 90210's theme playing. Now I'm really excited to see how the show turns out.

i saw this last night... its sooooooooo great that they reworked the old theme.. it looks good!

CW will be rocking with GG, OTH and 90210 come fall.

[Ryan]

Let's hope they don't fuck up this spinoff.

[William]

im still just soooo happy that SG is in the lead.

She rocked Degrassi and im happy for her.

[pinkflamingo44]

I have high hopes for the spinoff but it just can never be compared to the first.

The promo looked nice.

[Tara]

With GG and 90210, The CW should be better.

I just don't understand how the CW can't figure out its dwindling ratings this year.

HELLO. You cut Gilmore Girls. DUH!

Tori Spelling Confirmed for New 90210



Following weeks of what came off as so much public lobbying/pleading for a gig, Tori Spelling has been booked for guest-starring appearances on the CW's 90210, premiering this fall.

Reprising her role from the original Beverly Hills, 90210, Spelling's Donna Martin is now "the owner of one of the coolest stores in Beverly Hills, a shopping hot spot that is frequented by the new cast of characters," says the CW. All the while, Donna's unseen husband battles machines sent from the future to destroy mankind.

Spelling joins Jennie Garth as the only original 90210ers set thus far to appear on the follow-up. — MWM

I'd rather have David than Donna.

And I'd rather have Brenda than any of them.

I don't mind Donna that much , I'll take her and Brenda than Kelly any day. The only good thing about Kelly appearing is that maybe we'll find out her and Dylan broke up!

Other Former 90210 Stars Want IN-

Quote

I'm told that Ian Ziering, aka Steve Saunders, is also very interested in signing on. In fact, I'm hearing that both Tori, Ian and their "people" have been reaching out to producers and the network on a almost daily basis to see where the situation with the show stands!

Awww...the gang's (almost) all here!


As for Jennie's part in all this, I'm hearing she was originally supposed to be a series regular, but she would only sign on as a recurring character to start. She wants to see how the show does before committing to a specific number of episodes.

Worth noting: None of the original castmembers wanted to be the first to sign on, but once Jennie went for it, they followed suit. Always a leader, that Kelly!


From what I'm hearing, many of the original castmembers are expected to make cameos at one point or another. Dare we hope for some Jason Priestley or Luke Perry action while we're here?

Are you excited about Tori and Ian signing

Jason Priestley has revealed that he would love to star in the new Beverly Hills, 90210 spinoff pilot.

The actor played Brandon Walsh in the original show for eight years and directed 15 episodes.

However, he said he has not been approached for a role in the CW production, telling Momlogic.com: "They haven't contacted me about doing anything yet. But if it's the right thing, I'm certainly open to it.

"I loved working on that show. I loved everything I did on that show. I had so many jobs on that show, I loved it so."

The 38-year-old recently starred in Lifetime's comedy-drama Side Order of Life, which was cancelled last month.

Also, a notew on brian Austin green. He is commited to that show on FOX. Sarah Conner or summen like that.

Kirsten over at E! is LOVE!

Woo-hoo! I've just gotten a copy of the 90210 pilot script, as rewritten in late April by Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah off the original Rob Thomas version! It's so hot it's burning my fingers, so I'm tossing all the heat out to you in the form of the highlights rundown herein.

The CW's new 90210 series is, of course, the story of the Mills family as they migrate to Beverly Hills to mix and mingle with the beautiful people.


It's all Jessica Walter's fault! Mama Bluth, now Tabitha Mills, is the reason the Mills family moves to Beverly Hills: Apparently when she's tipsy she tips over and her son Harry (Rob Estes) doesn't think she should be living alone anymore, so the Mills fam moves from Kansas to California to be with her. We also learn within the first three pages that Grandma is an actress who was known to do full-frontal nudity back in her heyday. Nice.

Papa Harry Mills is a West Beverly alum, and he has a sexy past with the mom of the most popular girl in school. He's also, of course, the school principal, which keeps him right in the mix with his misbehavin' kids, Annie and Dixon, and all their wild new friends.

Dixon (Tristan Wilds) is your new boyfriend. The best character is easily crazy drunk grandma Tabitha, but you won't want to boink her as much as you'll want to boink (and just hang out with) Dixon. (I also have might have a small crush on Quiz Bowl team captain Navid Shirazi, on paper, at least...)

Kelly Taylor (Jennie Garth) is the high school guidance counselor and theater department costume director. She is introduced with the parenthetical "You know her, you love her." Yeah we do.

Team Bad Boy: Ethan (Dustin Milligan), the lacrosse hottie, is dating Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord), the popular mean girl, but methinks he'll be makin' time with Annie Mills (Shenae Grimes) before too long.

Team Good Guy: Annie's long-distance boyfriend, Jason, doesn't stand a chance against the shiny new world of the West Coast. Right?

Silver (Jessica Stroup) has a secret. And it's a pretty good one—although if I tell you that this kind of thing was once a Lifetime TV movie, you'll laugh. However, I think this show will carry it off in a very interesting way...

"Don't shop on Robertson!" Wisdom for our time, or blasphemy?

Proof that I am very old: Back in my day, they didn't say s--t and ass on TV, there was no implied mutual
masturbation/cybersex on the teen shows and underage illegal drug use on broadcast TV was about as acceptable as kids playing with plutonium. Come on Nancy Reagan! Don't give up on us now! The kids are, gasp, saying yes!

Quibble: I think bartendresses is not a word. If it is, it should not be.

Quibble, the second (Spoiler): I would personally not recommend describing the sexy teacher as a Ryan Gosling type and then giving him a drug problem. Because, like, wasn't Ryan Gosling in a movie about a sexy teacher with a drug problem?

OMG! Scandalous reveal on page 60! Dirty secrets from the past revealed! I can't tell you or it'd ruin it, but it's going to be deliciously complicatory. (Yes, I know, complicatory is also not a word!)

What do you think? Anything catch your fancy? Anyone else seeing a Brenda-Dylan-Kelly triangle redux in the form of Annie-Ethan-Naomi? Got a guess about Silver's secret? Post in the comments.

[William]

The show will be filming at the same school 90210 old school and buffy shot at! (i think its Torrance High?)

[DrewHamilton]

That's funny that all of the original castmembers were nervous about being the first to sign on. You know they all want to be a part of this, but it's kind of corny to go back to the show that made you a star. But once Jennie Garth stepped up and signed on, it's no surprise that everyone is following in suit. I'm glad.
