THE CAST
OF 90210
J
ennie Garth and Tori
Spelling were determined
to make BH90210
happen. Fans had been
asking — well, begging —
the cast of Beverly Hills, 90210
to reunite on screen for nearly
20 years. And the real-life
best friends had finally come
up with a perfect premise.
Instead of reviving the
characters they had portrayed
during the show’s 10-season
run between 1990 and 2000,
they’d play heightened versions
of themselves. “Personally, it
never made sense for me to go
back and play Kelly Taylor,”
explains Garth. “I felt like our
audience deserved more, so
when we came up with this
fresh concept, we were all like,
‘Let’s do this!’ ”“We^ really^
created^
something
amazing^ and
legendary,”
