IN THE

SPOTLIGHT

“The show is not unlike

Episodes or Curb Your

Enthusiasm,” Jason Priestley

explains of the meta-tastic

BH90210. “It’s following the

lives of all of us — so Jennie

Garth and Tori Spelling and

Jason Priestley and Ian

Ziering — as we all attempt

to get a reboot of 90210

off the ground.” While the

original ’90s show was a

teen soap, this one goes for

laughs. “We’re telling this

in a very comical way,” says

Jason. “The opportunity

to satirize the situation is

something we all found

very appealing.” Still the

tragic loss of co-star Luke

Perry, who died at 52 in

March, gives BH90210 a

bittersweet element aswell.

“It’s incredibly special,”says

Ja son. “We all appreciate

it more and our fellow

castmates a little more.”
