TV bad girl Shannen Doherty returns

Beverly Hills, 90210 original cast member Shannen Doherty is returning to the zip code that made her famous. Gabe Sachs, executive producer of the new show confirmed the news during the Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills. “Shannen is looking forward to returning to 90210,” her rep told People. Doherty, who played Brenda Walsh on the show for four seasons, was rumored to be coming back for a while, but nothing was confirmed until recently. Doherty was famously fired from the original show because of her party girl image and on-set antics. Tori Spelling has also been confirmed for the show, as has Jennie Garth, who was the first original cast member announced to return. Fans of the show will get an extra special treat — Sachs said that the cast members will be returning for multiple episodes, and not just cameos. The show premieres in September.

   How sad is that. They can’t get any other work so they have to go back to the orignal show that made them ‘famous’.

   She tilts her head that way so that you won’t notice that her eyes are crooked.

   To the best of my knowledge I do not believe that Rick Salomon is responsible for that…..

   I’m really looking forward to this! We used to play 90210 growing up and I was always Brenda.
