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.
