Shannen Doherty Off the 90210 Set
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip,
Shannen Doherty’s first stint on Beverly Hills, 90210 lasted four short years. Doherty’s time on the new 90210 spin-off will last only for four episodes. And suddenly, I’m no longer at all excited about this series.
This week’s 90210 episode was rather dismal - lacking Doherty completely, as it did - focusing mainly on Kelly’s sister Silver and her bad home life. Naomi also discovered that her father is cheating on her mother - and her mother doesn’t care (how Beverly Hills is that). Kelly dropped precious few hints about the paternity of her child. Her and the father had a “history” together in High School, evidently - which still leaves the possibilities at three, though I’m still rooting for Steve.

90210 review: Old Zip, New Drama
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Editorial, Ratings,
That’s right, the wait is finally over. After keeping their new spin-off tightly under wraps, the CW premiered 90210 last night for two solid hours. The network refused to send out media copies, sparking rumors that the show is so terrible it was necessary to keep everything a secret.
Or was it just so fabulous that the CW wanted to surprise us all? Slick, polished production, beautiful sets and great costumes immediately impressed, but I was careful to hold my opinion until I learned a little something about the script.
Oh, who am I kidding? I was hooked right away, the very first second, and frothing at the mouth to see Shannen Doherty’s entrance. I waited for that little moment, like everyone else, for exactly one hour and twenty-right minutes.

Is Beverly Hills Ready for Doherty?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Editorial,
It took fourteen years, but this evening heralds the much-anticipated return of Shannen Doherty (Brenda Walsh) to one of the country’s most famous zip codes: 90210.
Today her face graces magazine covers and the entertainment media is holding its breath to see the star re-emerge in her most famous role. After fading to the background of relative obscurity for the last decade, Shannen Doherty is suddenly very prominently in the spotlight.
“I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel it,” said Doherty, 37, of her newfound popularity with the press. “It definitely feels good. It also feels scary.” When asked about this scary success, Doherty explained, “who wants to talk about stuff they did fifteen years ago?”

Shannen Doherty Promotes 90210
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Video,
The CW has unveiled yet another new promo for their upcoming spinoff 90210 - and this TV spot gives us exactly what we want. And what do we want? Shannen Doherty!
It’s only 10 seconds long and Doherty only says two words - but it’s enough to whet the appetite for much more. Shannen-as-Brenda-Walsh offers up a coquettish grin as the voice-over intones “…an icon returns.” You’re right about that.

See the First Clips of Shannen Doherty on 90210

If you’ve been wondering how the old 90210 vets would mesh with the current students of West Beverly, here’s your chance to make a snap judgment.
My first thoughts? Shannen Doherty‘s face looks puffy, AnnaLynne McCord is as disgustingly beautiful as she was on Nip/Tuck and Shenae Grimes looks like she’s still at Degrassi.
In other words: This is Must See TV.
90210 starts its school year on September 2nd.

Tori Spelling Drops Out of 90210
Tori Spelling may be willing to run her own Bed & Breakfast. She might even be willing to sell her own gourmet fries. But she apparently won’t do anything for money.
Although she was signed on to star in CW’s version of 90210, a paycheck dispute has forced the Tori & Dean star to drop out completely. This revelation comes after Spelling said she would be temporarily sitting on the bench to recover from her second pregnancy.
Earlier today, Deadline Hollywood Daily claimed the actress was actually holding out because of less than equal treatment. When Tori learned that her $10,000-$20,000 per episode number fell far below what Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty were being offered (reportedly between $35,000-$50,000 per episode), she walked away.
Now the 35-year-old’s rep has confirmed to Us Magazine that Donna Martin won’t be seen anytime soon. “At this time, there are no plans for Tori to appear in the 90210 spinoff.”
I guess the record ratings Tori & Dean have been bringing to Oxygen aren’t really needed on the CW?

It’s Official: Shannen Doherty Joins 90210
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, News,
Now that we’ve had a few weeks to get used to the idea, it’s time for us to fully accept it. Brenda Walsh is coming back.
Just this weekend, CW confirmed that Shannen Doherty is returning to the zip she was once famously booted out of. In the announcement, we learned that Doherty will come back to West Beverly after she is asked to guest direct a school play.
Those who recall her stint in ‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof’ may be surprised to learn that Brenda’s character has since become a “successful theater actress, splitting her time between London and New York.” So successful, in fact, that she has already moved on to directing her own productions. (Hence, the invite from her alma mater.)

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.)
