Lori Loughlin: Bring Back Luke Perry!

October 27th, 2008 / Author: OK! Staff

Full House star Lori Loughlin assures OK! the set of hot TV drama 90210 is a conflict-free zone — even with Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth! Lori, 44, is married with two daughters, Isabella Rose and Olivia Jade, and spoke to OK! at the launch of the Lunchables Million Page Mission, which aims to get kids reading.

 

Have you worked with the 90210 veterans?

I haven’t worked with Jennie Garth or Shannen Doherty, but I’ve seen them around. They’re great. There’s no conflict.

 

Will others from the original cast appear?
There’s always hope. If I could choose one person to come back, it would be Luke Perry. Dylan belongs with Kelly!

 

What are the young cast members like?

They’re immensely talented and have their feet on the ground. I was not that mature when I was their age.

 

Do you keep up with the Olsen twins?
I get updates from Bob Saget and John Stamos, and in recent photo shoots, I’ve worn pieces from their clothing line. I put it on, read the tag and got excited. I said, “Oh, my goodness! That’s so funny!”

 

Are you dressing up for Halloween?

My kids won’t let me dress up any more. One year, I wore a blonde afro wig, hippie
pants and love beads and they were mortified. Now they refuse to go out trick-or-treating with me if I dress up.

 

How did you get involved with the Lunchables Million Page Mission?

I’ve always been an advocate of reading to your children. I’ve been reading to my girls since they were babies, and I still do – it’s one of my greatest joys.

Will Shannen Doherty Revisit 90210?

July 2nd, 2008

Is Brenda Walsh coming back?

Shannen Doherty is currently in talks with producers of the forthcoming 90210 spinoff to reprise her most (in)famous role to date, OK! has learned.

“They would love to have Shannen back to boost the show’s ratings,” a show insider tells OK!. “They know fans would tune in just to see their former favorite, Brenda Walsh.”

Thus far, Beverly Hills 90210 originals Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling have signed on to return to the CW’s new breed in special guest star capacities. Should Shannen, 37, return as well, it will reunite her with her former on-set foe, Jennie — not that Jennie minds.

"If Shannen comes to do the show… Excellent," the actress has said. "The fans would love it. I’m a big girl. I can handle anything."

On the other hand, co-star Lori Loughlin is against a Brenda comeback.

“I don’t think anyone wants to touch that," she told OK! last month.

It’s Official: Tori Spelling Joins 90210 Spinoff

May 27th, 2008

Donna Martin is back!

After weeks of rumors – and relentless groveling – Tori Spelling will reprise her most famous role to date in the new CW 90210 spinoff, the network confirmed Monday.

“Donna Martin will be the owner of one of the coolest stores in Beverly Hills, a shopping hot spot that is frequented by the new cast of characters,” the CW said in a statement.

Last week, cast member Lori Loughlin told OK! Tori, who’s expecting her second child next month, would return in a guest-starring capacity.

“I think they are waiting for her to have her baby and then they’re going to - there’s definitely a role for her though in the pilot, like a small little cameo thing which will be fun,” Lori said. “But then I think they’ll have her back.”

Tori, 35, is the second 90210 original to join the series, following in Jennie Garth’s footsteps.

Here’s to Shannen Doherty being the third!

Lori Loughlin: No Shannen Doherty in 90210 Spinoff

May 23rd, 2008

Jennie Garth may want Shannen Doherty to return for the 90210 spinoff, but Lori Loughlin sure doesn’t.

“I don’t think Shannen will. No.” the actress tells OK!. “I don’t think anyone wants to touch that.”

 

 

But the show will embrace Tori Spelling with open arms. Donna Martin’s real-life alter ego has been angling for a role in the CW series since the news was announced. But Tori, who’s due next month with her second child, may need to take a short maternity leave first.

“I think they are waiting for her to have her baby and then they’re going to - there’s definitely a role for her though in the pilot, like a small little cameo thing which will be fun,” Lori says. “But then I think they’ll have her back.”

The 43-year-old has also heard “rumblings” of Luke Perry returning, but claims to not know much else. Having already talked to Jennie about the show, the star now can hardly wait to start production on June 25.

“I’m so excited. I’ve seen a script. It’s good," she says. "I really like it. It’s definitely the contemporary 90210. It’s touching on what teenagers are going through nowadays, which is a little bit — I don’t want to say faster, but they are definitely exposed to more at this time. Kids today, they have a lot to handle. They grow up so fast.”

Jennie Garth: It’ll Be “Excellent” If Shannen Joins Spinoff

May 14th, 2008

Jennie Garth is returning to her famed zip code in the CW’s 90210 spinoff, but will her reel and real foe Shannen Doherty be joining her?

No confirmation yet, but should it happen, Jennie says she won’t be opposed to sharing the screen with her former co-star.

"If Shannen comes to do the show… Excellent,” Jennie tells Extra. “The fans would love it. I’m a big girl. I can handle anything."

The actresses famously feuded during their time together on Beverly Hills 90210, even getting into a catfight, Tori Spelling claimed in her memoir, sTORItelling.

Tori herself is also gunning for a return as Donna Martin and reveals she’s thisclose to signing the dotted line.

"I’ve been in talks with them,” she says. “They have approached me and so I’m hoping it works out.”

With or without Shannen or Tori, Jennie is pumped to reprise her role as Kelly Taylor – a part she played for 10 years.

"I am coming back as Kelly Taylor," Jennie says. "I can’t even believe it. I haven’t even said it out loud."

The 36-year-old will be a recurring guest star on the series, which also stars another iconic 90s actress – Full House’s Lori Loughlin, who is shocked by the fan reception.

"The fans are losing their minds," she says. "How exciting is this? It’s such a great franchise, such a big success the first time around. Hopefully we can do it justice."
