Shannen’s Back in Beverly Hills!

October 15th, 2008

Get excited, Brenda Walsh fans: OK! can confirm Shannen Doherty has signed on to do more 90210!

“She is back for episodes 11 and 12,” a rep for the hit CW show tells OK!.

The star who made Brenda famous on the original ‘90s Beverly Hills 90210 has electrified fans of the current remake on the CW, returning to the popular zip code earlier this season along with fellow Beverly Hills alum Jennie Garth.

 

Shannen plays a grown a grown-up version of her old character, an actress who comes back to West Beverly Hills High School as the drama teacher. Originally the star was only slated to appear in a few epsiodes, but fans have been crying out for more.

 

“I’ve worked for 27 years, steadily, thanks to very loyal fans," she said recently. "What’s the one way to say thank you? To play a character that you thought you’d never play again in the one show they want to see.”

Thanks, Shannen!

Shannen: Joking With Jennie

August 25th, 2008

Nobody played such a goodgirl onscreen with such a real life bad girl reputation off screen like Shannen Doherty – and now she’s back.

 

Shannen returns as Brenda Walsh, joining rumored "frenemy" Jennie Garth on The CW’s new 90210, but she says there’s no bad blood between the two.

 

"It’s been a really nice experience, "’ she tells Extra of the experience. "We already have our little inside jokes."

 

Jennie reprises her role as Kelly Taylor in the popular zipcode, and she’s quick to quash any buzz of on-set feuds.

 

"No crazy drama’s going on," she insists, although she would love to see Tori Spelling back as Donna Martin. Negotiations between Tori and the show’s producers over her fee to appear on 90210 have been slow going lately.

 

 "I’m really sad that it hasn’t happened yet," Jennie says, "And I’m very hopeful that it will happen."

As reported recently by OK!, actress Shannen Doherty has been in talks to reprise the role of Brenda Walsh in the upcoming CW update/spinoff of ’90s teen drama hit Beverly Hills 90210. And now, producers for the show confirm that the deal is done and Shannen will indeed be back!

At an event to promote the show on Saturday, producer Gabe Sachs confirmed that Shannen, who was rumored to have caused much on-set strife with her diva antics during the original run of the show, will be returning as Brenda Walsh in a guest role and that she’ll be the drama teacher in charge of directing a staged musical within the episode.

Shannen joins Beverly Hills 90210 originals Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling, who have both confirmed they will be making guest appearances on the show.

When asked about the possibility of her former foe’s return, Jennie recently said, "If Shannen comes to do the show… Excellent. The fans would love it. I’m a big girl. I can handle anything."
