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.”

Jennie Garth called into the Ryan Seacrest radio show and talked about the “eye-opening” surprises to come on the new 90210, and how she was reluctant to return to 90210.

When asked about her return to 90210 Jennie said, “First I wasn’t too big on the idea, it took me a while to settle in with it.”

So what changed her mind? “So many people are so dedicated to that show,” she said. “If they’re going to do a new show, I wanted to be there for the old fans of the original show. . . I just thought the fans would really like it.”

When Ryan asked about co-star Jason Priestly coming back, whether to direct or star, Jennie said “I think it might happen.”

Jennie was of course asked about her rumored long time feud with Shannen Doherty, she said, “It’s so funny because everyone made such a big deal about us getting back together. But it was pretty silly if you step back and look at it. That was so long ago…It definitely has to be water under the bridge or else you haven’t gone everywhere in your life.”

“We just really tried to come into it with a positive, fresh perspective,” she continued.

Brian Austin Green seems to think the new 90210 has a 50/50 chance of making it. “I’m curious to see what people think,” Green said. “[The new '90210'] could be good. Or it will suck terribly. I have a lot to look forward to. ‘Terminator’ new episodes on Mondays at 8, and new ‘90210′ on a night at a certain time. I’ll plug both, why not? I should get paid by the other one, though.”

Seems like the men of Beverly Hills 90210 won’t be returning at all (at least not until 90210 becomes a huge hit.) Jason Priestly has already commented on not returning, “I think I sort of ran the gamut with Brandon — 249 episodes. I think Brandon did his time.”

Luke Perry is currently busy filming Law and Order: SVU, and said he doesn’t see a storyline for Dylan McKay to return to the series.

Ian Ziering, aka Steve Sanders, has also said he’s not interested in returning to 90210 - saying it would be a step backwards.
