Fans of the original Beverly Hills, 90210 have been treated to appearances by several original castmembers — Jennie Garth, Shannen Doherty, Joe E. Tata, and Ann Gillespie — and last night, another alumna returned home. It’s been a long time in coming.
When plans for the new 90210 were first announced, it seemed like Tori Spelling was ready and willing to take part. Aside from being one of the few actors to stay with the original for its entire 10 year run, she has a familial bond to the series as well. She told People, “My dad [the original show's producer, Aaron Spelling] always wanted to do a new version of 90210, so I’m sure he will be beaming from above! And I’d love to somehow be a part of it. That as well would make my dad proud!” She joked that perhaps Donna could be the school’s sex education teacher — a nod to the fact that Donna was a long-time and proud virgin.
