Luke Perry, Shannen Doherty and Casting for 90210
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, The CW, Gossip, Rumors,
Years have passed since the show rocketed to success (and was subsequently canceled), and yet Beverly Hills, 90210 is still dominating entertainment news. If you’re longing to see some familiar faces on the fall spin-off of the popular teen series, you won’t be disappointed. If you’re hoping to see Luke Perry on the new show, you will be.
“It’s that 90210 time of year,” Perry laughed with reporters as he answered questions about the spin-off (though he was actually promoting an unrelated project with the Hallmark Channel). Luke Perry has already stated that he will not - that’s right, will not - become Dylan again on camera. According to his own comments, Perry does not really wish to do the series without mastermind Aaron Spelling, famed TV producer (and sire of Tori Spelling) who passed away in 2006.

90210 News: Shannen Doherty May Return
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip,
Just last month, Lori Laughlin said it was unlikely 90210 fans would be seeing Shannen Doherty again. “I don’t think Shannen will. No. I don’t think anyone wants to touch that.”
Well, I hate to be the one to break it to ya, Lori—but it looks like someone does want to ‘touch that’ after all.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the producers behind the CW spinoff are currently in talks with Doherty about joining the ever-growing cast. What’s keeping her from signing on the dotted line? She reportedly wants to approve her storyline and paycheck first. (As if she should be turning any money down these days.)

No Luke Perry for 90210
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip,
While little is known about the storylines we’ll see on 90210 next year, there’s one thing we definitely won’t be seeing: a Kelly/Dylan marriage.
Even though Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling are both welcoming a return to the famed zip code, Luke Perry says he’s not envisioning a trip to his old stomping grounds.
In a radio interview with Billy Bush, Perry said, “It’s just not something that I’ve thought about, to be honest. I don’t see it happening.” Well - I don’t think Spelling ever saw herself opening a Bed & Breakfast either, but money’s money.
But who knows? If Jason Priestley winds up directing a few episodes as rumored, Perry could have a change of heart later. Lord knows, he had more than his share of those when it came to Brenda and Kelly…

Tori Spelling Joins the 90210 Cast
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, News,
It’s official. Finding decent work after 90210 is apparently quite hard.
Just weeks after Jennie Garth was confirmed for the CW spinoff comes word of another alum’s return. Realizing the Bed & Breakfast business was just not going to pay the bills, Tori Spelling has confirmed she will have a part in the new show. (According to the rumors, she begged to be included.)
Although Garth will have a recurring role as a West Beverly guidance counselor, Spelling (Donna Martin) will continue where she left off: in the fashion industry. Her character - who once co-owned a boutique with Kelly Taylor - will reportedly have “one of the coolest stores in Beverly Hills.”
While we still have a few months until 90210‘s fall premiere, there’ll be plenty of opportunities to see Tori Spelling this summer. The third installment of her Oxygen show - now titled Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood - will premiere on June 17.

Interviews with CW’s 90210 Cast

Well, we already know they look the part - but will CW’s new 90210 cast actually do the spinoff justice?
In the video below, the actors talk about their new roles and give us a hint as to what we should expect.
Although they promise to “take this show to a whole new level,” this clip feels very similar to things we’ve seen before—from the production value straight down to the character description. That’s not necessarily a bad thing; I just don’t think they should set the bar too high for themselves.

Rob Estes Joins 90210
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, News,
Anyone paying close attention to 90210‘s recently revealed cast photo might have noticed someone missing. (Someone other than Jennie Garth.)
Up until now, the spinoff has been without the show’s central reason for existence: the patriarch! The West Beverly alum who moves his family from St. Louis to become his alma mater’s next principal. The guy heading this drama’s version of the Walshes.
While there wasn’t anyone from the original cast suitable to play this character, the producers were able to snag someone from the old FOX family. Rob Estes, a former Melrose Place star, has just been cast as Harry (Harry???) Mills. Estes will star alongside Lori Laughlin (his show wife) and play father to Shenae Grimes and Tristan Wilds.
CW has apparently worked very hard to flesh out this update with some decent eye candy. While I’ll always have very fond thoughts of them, Jim and Cindy Walsh never looked this good.

Jennie Garth Officially Returns to 90210
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip, News,
Although she might have been able to parlay her recent popularity into something more original, Jennie Garth has instead chosen to follow up her work on Dancing with the Stars with another return to Beverly Hills.
It’s just been announced that the former 90210 actress will make recurring appearances in the upcoming CW spinoff. Ever since Garth pulled out of an opportunity to star in a pilot for CBS, it was suspected this move was going to happen. Strangely enough, the character - who once co-owned a clothing store with Donna - will now become a guidance counselor at her old stomping grounds, West Beverly. Wow - that’s so Miss/Guided of her!
Maybe returning to (far too) familiar territory was really the lesser of two evils for Garth. If the CBS comedy wasn’t picked up, she could have ended co-hosting Your Momma Don’t Dance with DWTS alumni Ian Ziering.

Degrassi Star Comes to 90210
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip, News,
Yesterday, we told you that Hilary Duff had turned down a possible role in CW’s 90210 spinoff. Had she accepted the offer, the former Lizzy McGuire star would have been an updated version of Brenda Walsh.
Twenty-four hours later, we now know who will be playing Beverly Hills transplant Annie Mills. Shenae Grimes, Degrassi: The Next Generation‘s Darcy, will be crossing the Canadian border to play the theater-loving girl from Kansas. (Seriously - did this ‘Brenda’ also have to be a fan of the stage? Couldn’t they have come up with something more original?)
Fans of Degrassi know that Shenae is perfectly capable of playing the nice girl role. They also know that she’s very good at turning bad as well. So assuming the CW pilot gets picked up, what will this mean for our little Darcy? Maybe she’ll be sent away to Canada’s version of Promises to get help for all her emotional issues…
