Shannen Doherty To Reprise Brenda Walsh On CW’s 90210??

Published at:  Jul 02, 2008 5:48:39 PM CDT

I am – Hercules



Entertainment Weekly’s Mike Ausiello says Shannen Doherty is in discussions with management of the CW’s “Beverly Hills 90210” sequel series to reprise the role of Brenda Walsh, a part she hasn’t played since she ditched the original series at the end of its fourth season way back in May 1994.

If the deal is consummated, she’ll be back alongside fellow original cast members Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling.

The new series is being overseen by former “Freaks and Geeks” writer-producers Jeff Judah and Gabe Sachs.

Read all of Ausiello’s exclusive on he matter here.

UPDATE!! E!'s Wanda Two Saints says her source inside "90210" says “It is happening with Shannen. It's just a question of how long she'll shoot, whether it will be one day or ten, and what the storyline will be, but we are working on it and it is a very real thing." Read WTS' story on the matter here.

    by newc0253

    FOX's several mistakes:

    (1) they decide to revive the 90210 franchise.

    (2) they lose Rob Thomas, the only guy who might have made it watchable.

    (3) they put out a promo that makes it seem every bit as painful as the original.

    (4) they start inviting back z-list former cast members (the ones who weren't interesting enough to score reality shows) to join the train wreck.

    Doherty will return to the series ONLY if she is reimburseed with "buckets of money" and advance script approval. Say what? Her "movie" career tanked and her subsequent TV work has been handicapped with diva behavior (Jesus, she was hostess of the Sci-Fi Channel's SCARE TACTICS for less than one season. Yeah, Shannon, you're defintely in demand). Her fraternity sister, Rose McGowan, is splitting with Robert Rodriguez 'cause Bob couldn't nail funding for BARBARELLA. I'm dead serious, this has been posted on IMdB. Rodriguez divorced his wife (16 years) to bang a golddigger--serves him right.

    And she wanted to quit Charmed because of Alyssa's diva behavour, they wouldn't let her, then they fired her by phone between season 3 & 4. I wouldn't make a guest appearence after that either. Unsubstantied rumor said Milano was banging Kern to get her dropped.

    that the buzz on 90210 is really bad if theyre actively trying to get old castmembers back to generate any kind of positive buzz...... if things are looking that bleak for the new show why not just not do it at all, or hire every old cast member back...and show what real rich white kids do....stay at home wit mommy and daddy and mooch off them for the rest of their lives...honestly the old cast could use some work these days, most, if not all of their careers have tanked anyways.

    by thegreatwhatzit

    It's getting uglier and uglier. Doherty assumed her "Playboy" visibility would transform her into some sort of sex icon (the magazine paid her a "7-figure sum"). Hell, it turns out nobody cared (I turned a couple of the pages into impromptu place mats while perusing the issue at Burger King). C'mon, Doherty is 37 YEARS OLD and she's still a major pain in the ass (look at the chronicle of her unprofessional behavior on IMdB). Time for someone young and appreciative; I'm betting on 19-year-old Nina Dobrev, who actually made a Sci-Fi Channel movie (NEVER CRY WEREWOLF) quite tolerable. SMOKIN' HOT. She makes Doherty look like Hillary Clinton (shudder).

    "I observe that you are gay, you fucking faggot!"

    I can guess by the last post that he is now (erroneously) observing that either myself or MILF LOVER are gay and is hitting one or both of us up for dates now. JAZZ TERMINATOR sounds about as gay-in-denial as you can get without wearing something mauve, and now he's propositioning straight guys for dates. Sorry, we're not your type. We're literate, and can actually go an entire paragraph without slipping the words 'fuck' or 'faggot' into the diatribe. The local chapter of 'Boystown' I hear will take you though....
