90210 is already slipping in the ratings and now one of the few reasons to watch, Shannen Doherty, has announced that after her four episode run, she will not be signing on for future episodes.

The announcement follows her co-star Jennie Garth agreeing to add another five episodes to her stint on show. She knows they need her. Jennie is kind of the Heather Locklear of Melrose Place on the new 90210.

After months of sheer exhilaration, last night we gleefully tucked into the premiere of 90210. Two hours later, we were left slightly baffled, a little annoyed and generally disappointed.

Having been in our adolescent prime the first time the show premiered, we wondered if our reaction was a mixture of bitter nostalgia and cantankerous “I’m too old to enjoy something like this” elitism but the night before we’d be rapturous at the return of Gossip Girl. This wasn’t us being crotchety, 90210 2.0 simply didn’t deliver.

After much speculation, People has confirmed that Kelly Taylor is returning to that exclusive zip code, 90210!

As rumored, Jennie Garth will make special guest appearances on the CW's new spinoff of Beverly Hills, 90210, playing a guidance counselor at her alma mater, West Beverly High.
