90210 executive producer, Gabe Sachs, has confirmed, “Shannon Doherty will be returning to 90210.”

Doherty will reprise her role as Brenda Walsh, who returns to West Beverly High School as a visiting drama teacher.

Shannon joins 90210 originals Jennie Garth, who will return as West Beverly counselor Kelly Taylor, and Tori Spelling, who will reprise her role as Donna Martin in future episodes.

Do you think that Shannon and Jennie will be able to get along this time? I hope not… it will give me some good gossip to write about.

Say hello to the new Cindy Walsh! 

Lori Loughlin, who most of you 1980’s children remember from Full House as the wife of steamy Jesse Katsopolis, is set to play the mother of teenage twins Annie and Dixon in the planned remake ofBeverly Hills 90210.  Personally, I cannot imagine someone as young as Lori Loughlin parenting high schoolers.  Lori’s character will mimic Cindy Walsh’s wholesome role as a former Olympic medalist uprooted from the Midwest with her family to start a new life in Beverly Hills. Deja-vu!

Thoughts on Lori’s resemblance to Brenda and Brandon’s mommy?

Dustin Milligan, CW’s Runaway (yeah, I never saw it either), is the first to be casted in the 90210 spin-off. Dustin will play Ethan, who is described as a good-looking, likable, star athlete at West Beverly Hills High.

The show will revolve around one central family much like the original “90210” did. According to EW, the plot will focus on the Mills family of Beverly Hills, made up of, Tabitha, an alcoholic grandmother, her son, Harry, who moves back to Beverly Hills to take care of his mother, and he brings with him, Celia, his Olympic athlete wife turned personal trainer, and their two 16-year old twins.

The CW is in talks about making a spinoff from the widely popular 90’s tv show Beverly Hills 90210.

“Veronica Mars” creator Rob Thomas is wanted to pen the project, which has been put on the fast track by the network. The spinoff would bring Thomas back to CW, where his acclaimed series “Veronica Mars” ended its three-year run last spring.

This would be the second spinoff from “90210,” which aired on Fox from 1990-2000. The first spinoff, “Melrose Place,” had a successful seven-year run on Fox.

Tori Spelling, the daughter of the show’s creater and who also played Donna Martin in the series, said, “My dad always wanted to do a new version of 90210, so I’m sure he will be beaming from above! …and I’d love to somehow be a part of it. That, as well, would make my dad proud,” Spelling, who is pregnant with her second child.

And, regarding the role she intends to play, Tori explains: “Well, I am a mom now, proud to say, but obviously too young to have a teenager, so maybe I could be one of the main character’s young stepmom.  Playing the funny sex ed teacher at the high school would be funny, too, considering Donna Martin was America’s most infamous virgin.”

“The show was a huge part of my life. Ten years! I miss it dearly.”

“I thought … it’s about time,” Spelling tells People.com. “I’m surprised it took this long for them to make a 90210 spinoff.”

Tori is not the only one eager to get involved with this show. Actor Ian Ziering, who played Steve Sanders in 90210, also wants to a role on the series.
