BEVERLY HILLS 90210

Everyone knows Luke Perry and Jason Priestley rejected the invite to join the new 90210 made by the CW, but how is that possible if both Dylan McKay and Brandon Walsh are going to appear on Tuesday’s episode?!

Here’s what we know so far

In “Model Behavior,” the episode of 90210 airing Sept. 30, we find out that Brenda (Shannen Doherty) has been keeping in contact with twin brother Brandon and ex-boyfriend Dylan. In this episode, Brenda reveals some unknown details about Brandon’s current location.

But that’s not all. Next week, that rebellious Dylan at last phones home again. It seems that the call is to Brenda’s phone, but both Brenda and Kelly end up talking to him, and after the fact, the two girls get into a “tense” situation (most likely because he calls Brenda’s phone).

So what do you think Brandon and Dylan are up to now? And are you still holding out hope that Luke and Jason will appear?

Luke Perry is under pressure to revisit Beverly Hills after his much-loved TV character Dylan McKay was named the father of Kelly Taylor’s son on Beverly Hills, 90210 spin-off 90210 on Tuesday night (16 September 2008).
Only Jennie Garth, who revives her role as Taylor in the new show, Joe E Tata and Shannen Doherty decided to return to the well-known address for the new series - but now Garth is hoping the bombshell, which aired on Tuesday will bring Perry back.
Garth says, “I would love to work with Luke again. I love him dearly.”
The actor and former co-star Jason Priestley have turned down attempts to bring them back to 90210 and Doherty has walked away from the spin-off after filming her constricted four episodes.

Jennie Garth arrived wearing a subtle black David Meister frock, her “new favorite designer,” and said the late Aaron Spelling would have been proud of the new “90210.”
Will she and Shannon Doherty stay friends now that they have at last started talking again?
“I think so. I do think so. I think that we have a bright future ahead of us.”
And she’s not surprised by the viewership for the new “90210.”
“I knew that it had a built-in audience from way back then and knew that everyone would tune in to sort of quench their thirst for the old show. Now it’s a matter of building a new audience for the new show. ”
Should we expect more of the old cast on the new show?
“They want more of the original cast members. That’s what everyone keeps saying. We need more of Brenda and Kelly, Dylan and Brandon.”

To all those who are insterested in the new 90210 series and lost the last episodes, I found a really great recap of what happened latelly on the show.

I’ll leave the url of the recap, because there’s simply no place for improvement in the article. I hope you like it.

90210 Recap

Shannen Doherty, who is integrated in the television hit show “Beverly Hills 90210,” may not be leaving “90210″ just yet.

The actress, who is reprising her role as Brenda Walsh on the 90210 spinoff, may still sign on for more episodes, according to her representative.
A representative of the actress said: “Shannen signed on for four episodes, which she has shot. It was Shannen’s way of thanking her fans. If The CW comes back with an offer for additional episodes, she’s happy to consider it.”
A representative for the network previously revealed, “We’d love for her to do more.”
Fellow returning “90210″ alum Jennie Garth, who plays Kelly Taylor, has already signed for more episodes, It was previously established, adding five more to the six she’s already filmed. The actress plays a guidance counselor at West Beverly High — and a single mother. The father of her child is set to be revealed in this Tuesday’s episode.

The old 90210 original characters Brenda and Kelly haven’t signed out of West Beverly just yet.

Shannen Doherty, who plays Brenda Walsh, is at this time fulfilling her four-episode arc on the CW spin-off as a visiting drama teacher at her alma mater. But that will be it for the star — for now.
“We’ve always made it clear we’d love for [Doherty] to do more and there’s a possibility she’ll be back,” a show spokesperson says.
In the meantime, Jennie Garth decided to keep playing fan favorite Kelly Taylor for five more episodes, a spokesperson says.
This is excellent news for fans who are watching things heat up between guidance counselor Kelly Taylor and the English teacher Mr. Matthews, played by Ryan Eggold.

Revitalizing ”Beverly Hills, 90210”: Smart move or final measure by a low-rated, desperate network?
Viewers will have to come to a decision for themselves when the new ”90210” has its two-hour premiere on WGN-Channel 9. The CW network refused to make any episodes accessible in advance for review, which is widely seen as a sign that the show will be a disappointment.
Not that critical evaluation is likely to have much consequence on the ratings. Lukewarm reviews certainly didn’t damage the original ”90210,” which aired on Fox from 1990-2000.
In what the CW calls ”an edgy, contemporary spinoff,” the Wilson family moves from Kansas to Beverly Hills, where siblings Annie (Shenae Grimes, “Degrassi: The Next Generation”) and Dixon (Tristan Wilds, “The Wire”) enroll in West Beverly Hills High and dad Harry (Rob Estes of ”Melrose Place,” a spinoff of the original ”90210”) accepts the job of principal.
Return of Kelly, Brenda
Faculty members include guidance counselor Kelly Taylor, a character from “Beverly Hills, 90210” once again played by Jennie Garth. And she’s not the only returnee: Shannen Doherty is slated to appear in a handful of episodes, breathing new life into Brenda Walsh, last seen heading to London to study theater on the old series.
While the original series had the imprimatur of the late Aaron Spelling and a pre-”Sex and the City” Darren Starr, the new ”90210” is in the hands of writers Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah, who previously worked on the teen dramas ”life as we know it” and ”Freaks & Geeks” as well as the sitcom ”Just Shoot Me.”
”It’s grounded with real character stories and emotional stories,” Judah said, “and whether these kids drive Maseratis or whatever mansions they live in, we want people in Iowa watching, going, ‘That’s how I feel when my dad gets mad at me. That’s how I feel when someone doesn’t like me.’ We’re trying to tell truthful, emotional stories, but also keep it pretty funny, too.”
A little like ‘Freaks & Geeks’
Sachs said ”Freaks”-style quirky comedy will add another layer to the new ”90210.” He understands why that notion may raise eyebrows.
”Trust me, your concerns about Sachs and Judah doing ‘90210′ are the same concerns everyone has had, including Jeff and I,” Sachs said. ”We were the first ones to go, ‘Can we pull this off?’ ”
For the CW, the series may represent its last best hope for survival. Sachs acknowledged that he and Judah feel that pressure.
”It’s such a big business now,” he said. “We’re not in a world where they go, ‘Hey, creative guys, here’s a bunch of money, go shoot something.’ There’s so much relying on the success of this show.”
