Tori Spelling going back to Beverly Hills, 90210?
Not even a week after it was announced that Jennie Garth would be part of the Beverly Hills, 90210 spin-off in a recurring capacity, comes the news that Tori Spelling will also join the "new" 90210 series.Nikki Finke, over at Deadline Hollywood Daily, which was a prime spot for news about the writers strike, reports that reliable sources claim Tori Spelling will reprise her role of Donna Martin on the spin-off.
Finke doesn't reveal more about Spelling's possible return to the famous zip code so it is unknown if she'll appear as a regular, a recurring, or a guest star. Donna could very well be part of the school's staff along with Jennie Garth's character, become friends with the Mills, the central family of the spin-off, or even run the Peach Pit!
Fans of the original series will remember that Donna got married to David Silver in the 90210 series finale so Spelling's appearance on the spin-off could mean the return of a third original cast member, Brian Austin Green.
My reaction to this news is that same as my fellow Squadder Rich: "Why don't they just remove the 'New' from the title of 90210, because it's looking a lot like the old 90210 with many of the original cast returning?" I'm glad to see that there will be some familiar faces on the spin-off but I don't want every single original cast member returning! I want fresh faces, new problems, etc.
Stay tuned to TV Squad for more information about the potential Tori Spelling return to 90210 and more news about the spin-off.
Updated to add: According to US Magazine, Spelling will appear on the show as a recurring cast member.
