Shannen Doherty Returns In 90210 As Musical Director

Shannen Doherty will star in several episodes of the CW’s 90210 spinoff this fall, said Gabe Sachs, the executive producer of the series, during the Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills on Saturday.

“Shannen is looking forward to returning to 90210,” Doherty’s rep told People magazine.

Doherty, who was the twin sister of Jason Priestley’s character Brandon Walsh in the original Beverly Hills, 90210, will play the role of Brenda Walsh again, starting with September 2, when the show premieres.

This time, she will be a famous theater director who is invited back to West Beverly Hills High School in order to stage a musical, CW announced.

When asked by E! News whether Shannen will be singing or dancing in the series, executive producer Jeff Judah said: “It’s possible. It’s possible.”

When she left the original series in 1994, Doherty said the decision was mutual with the producer and admitted she had a “miserable” behavior on the set. At the time, she was famous for her brawls.

Jennie Garth is also returning to her old role, as Kelly Taylor, who is now a school guidance counselor, on “90210.”

Tori Spelling is at the moment exhausted from giving birth to her baby in June and will not appear in the pilot of the spin-off as planned, but she said she would be on the show when she is ready. She will impersonate an upscale boutique-owner.

So far, the three actresses are the only ones from the original series who have confirmed to appear in the new show. The producers haven’t yet spoken with the other members of the former cast.

Gabe Sachs said the three original cast members will not only have cameos, but will star in multiple episodes.
