Tori Spelling Is Not Expected to Play Donna Martin

It seems that the “90210” remake won’t have the same team members, as Tori Spelling announced that she would not take part in the remake. According to The Associated Press, CW spokesman Paul McGuire said that, even though it was expected that the actress will star in the new 90210, she made a change of plans and will not play, once again, the Beverly Hills boutique owner Donna Martin.

“Earlier in the summer we anticipated that she was going to appear in the show, but those plans were postponed for personal reasons on Ms. Spelling's behalf, “said Paul McGuire. Megan Prophet confirmed that Tori Spelling would not be part of the new series.

It’s not sure if the “personal reasons” were related to financial reasons, as the actress found out that her other colleagues Jenny Garth who plays Kelly Taylor and Shannon Doherty who plays Brenda Walsh would be paid from $35,000 to $50,000 per episode. Tori Spelling would have been paid from $10,000 to $20,000.

The new remake of the famous Beverly Hills 90210 TV series was commissioned by U.S. network CW. The original series began in 1990 and ended in 2000, starring Jason Priestley as Brandon Walsh, Luke Perry as Dylan McKay, Shannen Doherty as Brenda Walsh, Jennie Garth as Kelly Taylor and Tori Spelling as Donna Martin.

The network confirmed that Jennie Garth would play Kelly once again. Now, Kelly Taylor has become a guidance counselor.

90210 will premiere on September 2 in the U.S.
