Rumors are flying that writers at 90210 are planning to kill off Shannen Doherty’s character, Brenda Walsh by making her die from an illness.
When asked about the rumors Jason Priestley told Access Hollywood,
“This is all news to me but this is fantastic. That is going to be awesome. No they haven’t given me anything yet. I don’t even know if the episode is written yet, but I love all those rumors that is juicy stuff.”
What is he thinking?
If this is true I wonder why the writers would do something so permanent - is it just to get attention or is it a way to keep Shannen Doherty from never returning to the show again?

90210’s Lori Loughlin says she hopes Luke Perry comes back to the new 90210 because he belongs with Kelly! Although she says she hasn’t had the chance to work with either Shannen Doherty or Jennie Garth she’s seen them on the set and claims there’s “no conflict”.
Lori’s 90210 character is definetly hotter than Beverly Hills 90210’s Cindy Walsh - but I’m not sure if I like her better as a TV than Cindy Walsh.
What do YOU think?

Jason Priestley is set to direct an upcoming episode of the new 90210. Fans were hoping for Jason to return as Brandon Walsh to reunite with Kelly Taylor, but we may just have to hold on for that.
“I just hope that Jennie [Garth]’s in the episode that I do, or that Shannen [Doherty]’s there,” the actor told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show. “That’d be fun for me.”
He added “I’m really looking forward to it. It’s going to be a lot of fun to go over there and work with all those guys.”

90210’s Shenae Grimes was named the new Brenda by Saturday Night Magazine, a lifestyle mag for twentysomthings.
Shenae talked about her character, Annie, and when asked if she sees Annie as more like the Brandon or the Brenda, Grimes says that, “I think Annie and Brenda are very similar for the obvious reasons, new girl in school trying to fit in with the high-rollers, an interest in musical theatre. Yet, at the same time, she reminds me a lot of Brandon as well. Brenda was a little less conscientious of rules and consequences and a little more impulsive, where as Annie, much like Brandon, often seems a little wiser than the average teen. She seems to have a pretty sophisticated sense of right from wrong.”
Shenae also said her favorite character on Beverly Hills 90210 were Brenda and Dylan, “They both had this careless air of cool, you just kinda wanted to be their friends. And of course my favorite storylines were anytime those two got back together.”

Brian Austin Green returned to the FOX series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles as the futuristic soldier, Derek Reese.
The Beverly Hills 90210 alum describes working on the set:
It’s like a movie every week. If they tell me to run or jump off something, our stunt coordinator loves it because he knows I’ll do it. It’s been one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had.
On his days off he plays with his 6 year old son Kassius, born to Beverly Hills 90210 alum Vanessa Marcil (who played Donna’s cousin Gina).
Brian comment on the new 90210:
I think it’s amazing that they’ve been able to revamp the show. I’m excited for the new generation of fans.
He also said there was a possibility of his character, David Silver making a return, saying if the script called for it, he’d be open to doing a few scenes. I think fans would expect more than a few scenes!
You can catch The Sarah Connor Chronicles Mondays at 8pm on FOX. Check out a clip from tonight’s episode which features Brian Austin Green.

90210’s Adam Gregory and Jessica Lowndes were snapped shopping together while holding hands in LA. Jessica plays Adrianna in the new 90210 - while Adam plays Annie’s short term love interest, Ty. Maybe this means she’ll stick around on the show? I can’t wait to see next weeks episode after seeing her OD at the end of last week’s dramatic show.

Some of the best moments from Beverly Hills 90210 were the bitch cat fights between Kelly, Brenda, Emily (Valentine) and Valerie. There are just too many to remember, but here are some of the very best.
Brenda vs. Kelly
Brenda runs into Kelly on a date with…Dylan! Brenda and Dylan had just broken up (for the millionth time) and Brenda had told Dylan he could date other people. Well he did, and it was her best friend Kelly. Brenda was on a date with her Parisian tour guide, Rick - when she stumbled into Kelly and Dylan leaving a dinner that was getting hot and heavy. Everyone exchanged words and the scene ending with Brenda saying “Whatever you say, Kel. I was always thought that if it looks like a duck, and walks like a duck… ” Insinuating Kelly was a slut.
Winner: Brenda, she was stabbed in the back by Kelly.
Kelly vs. Valerie
In Season 9 Kelly discovers a letter Valerie wrote to Brandon trying to convince him not to marry Kelly (Kelly and Brandon called off their marriage prior). In turn Kelly decided to invite the gang over to the beach house for Thanksgiving instead of attending Valerie’s Thanksgiving feast at the Walsh house. After David tells Kelly all the deep, dark secret Valerie has been suffering from she decides to call a truce and have Thanksgiving at the Walsh house with Valerie. Val winds up telling everyone she is packing up her stuff and heading back to Buffalo, leaving the show.
Winner: Kelly, she will always have the gang behind her. Val has pissed off just about everyone.
Brenda vs. Emily Valentine
Emily Valentine arrives in Season 2 and attracts the attention of Dylan and Brandon. Dylan and Brenda had just broken up and, like Brenda always says- Dylan can see other people. But of course, when Brenda finds out Emily goes on a date with her twin brother and her ex-boyfriend she rips her a new one in front of everyone at a group BBQ at the Walsh house. Emily responds by saying “When I got to school they should have given me a score card instead of a class schedule, so I can keep track of everyone’s boyfriends.”
Winner: Emily Valentine, she stands up to Brenda- who eventually apologizes. Brenda was being a supreme b*tch.

One of 90210’s most exciting characters, Adrianna might die from a drug overdose! In an upcoming episode there is mention of someone “not breathing” and it’s probablly Annie’s frenemie Adrianna.
PopWrap had an exclusive interview with Jessica Lowndes, who plays Adrianna, and she dished on what’s coming up on 90210:
Pop Wrap: Was this drug spiral the plan for Adrianna all along?
Jessica Lowndes: I didn’t know where they were going to take my character - when I signed on I was just the girl who sang in the school musical. I was pleasantly surpsied by the depth they gave her and the juicy material they gave me. It’s been so much fun.
PW: Do you feel a pressure to avoid becoming the cliche druggie on a teen drama?
Jessica: Totally, I don’t want to make a mockery out of it. I did tons of research for all the drug stuff and it’s a serious problem all across the country. You wouldn’t believe the statistics of how many kids are stealing their parents vicodin and OxyContin for themselves.
PW: Watching Adrianna is like riding a roller coaster - ditto with playing her?
Jessica: It’s been so much fun - I’m pushing my boundaries as an actress too because I go to work and think “how am I going to be high on cocaine today?” Everyone I’ve been working with has been super supportive.
PW: Last week’s episode ended with you moving up in the drug food chain - and next week’s preview talks about someone OD-ing, should I be worried about losing Adrianna?
Jessica: You can take it like that, yep! All I am going to say is that next week is one of my favorite episodes. It’s basically the peak of Adrianna’s addiction and it was really interesting for me to play. They let me do some crazy stuff with my hair and just play with ideas that I had. I was able to use so much creative freedom, it’s really a shocking episode.
PW: The original “90210″ had Scott accidentally shooting himself to warn teens about gun violence - do you get sacrificed to the morality gods?
Jessica: I don’t know - we’ll see, but I’m still on set, so that says something! Truthfully, I’m hoping Adrianna just gets better so people can see that yes, this was a horrible way to deal with her situation but you can get better and recover. I’d like to be that kind of morality tale.
PW: How involved have you been in making sure the writers were being true to who you think Adrianna is?
Jessica: I just want to make sure I’m as real as possible and saying what my character would really say. I think the more depth, the better. Next week you’ll see Adrianna in her house, in that crazy homelife. Because I’m playing such a mean character I want people to feel for her - to understand where she’s coming from.
PW: And where exactly was Adrianna coming from when she called Shannen Doherty a washed up actress?
Jessica: Oh my god, it’s crazy right? I play such a bitch! That was a dream, I’m still pinching myself that I got to work with her. I was so excited when Shannen signed on - but bring back Dylan McKay! They’re talking about him a lot [on the show] and he’s a little bit of a hunk, I have a little crush on him. Oh, I’m just being modest - he’s super sexy! (laughs)
PW: I think we’d all like to see Luke Perry back in the zip, but I hear he’s not interested.
Jessica: Well, I’ve heard mixed things - I hear he’s busy filming now but after that’s over he’d consider it. I just think he was waiting to see the show and how it was received - but he is a fan, he likes it.
PW: Did you always know you wanted to be an actress?
Jessica: I told my parents when I was 4 years old that I was going to move to Hollywood and they were so fantastic about it. I met a producer right before I went into 12th grade who said he’d represent me once I was out of high school - so I decided I wasn’t going back. I home schooled my senior year in 3 months. The day I got my license I drove to Hollywood. I’m pretty determined and I always knew that I wanted this.
PW: You’re a musician too - that’s really you singing on the show, right?
Jessica: Yes. The year I didn’t go back to high school I was able to make this demo CD with my best friend after going through this breakup which made me hate men for two weeks. I ended up sitting next to a producer on a flight and we started chatting and the next thing I knew he bought my song “Goodbye” for the CBS show “Moonlight.” And “90210″ used my song “Fly Away” in the pilot - it’s been so fun.
PW: So is a CD in your future?
Jessica: That would be a dream for me. I’d love to and hopefully when I have some more free time I can write more. Ultimately though, I’d like to live in New York City and be on Broadway.
PW: Well, now that you know so much of “Spring Awakening’s” score…
Jessica: What’s funny is Jonathan Groff [an original castmember in "SA"] played my boyfriend in a pilot that didn’t get picked up and he’d be on set singing it, so when this audition came around it felt like fate. I knew every single song and the role had to be mine! I was bedridden with strep throat so I just downed tons of throat spray and did my thing.
PW: Clearly it went well
Jessica: Yea, I had literally just landed home in Vancouver when I got the call. They told me to come back to LA, they needed me on set tomorrow and they were going to chop all my hair off. It was a crazy thing that only sunk in a few weeks ago.
PW: Well now you’ll just have to make sure Adrianna doesn’t die!
Jessica: Oh trust me, I love being on this show, I’m very proud of it. I’m having so much fun right now - I don’t want to go anywhere!

Shannen Doherty dished about her character Brenda Walsh in an interview with Details magazine.
There were moments when I hated Brenda, but there were other moments when I saw vulnerability and greatness in her, and believed her passion for life would make her a great actor but not someone you would necessarily want to hang out with.
I don’t think Brenda was a complete brat. She was fueled by her insecurities: not being from Beverly Hills, not feeling safe in that environment. And then the love of her life was stolen from her. That can really injure a young girls esteem.
As for reprising her role as Brenda on the new 90210:
We all agreed we’d see how it goes. I can pay my mortgage and ride my horses because of those [original 90210] fans, is how I can repay them.
