I can't recall if Kathleen Robertson has spoken on the show in the last 20 years, lol. I loved Claire at first but they did her wrong in Season 7. (Another sidenote: Emma Caulfield/Susan Keats deserved a longer run. I can't recall if it's true that the show wanted her to stay; I suspect that's just a pipe dream. I was so thrilled when she turned up on Buffy) Reposting these great staff interviews: A two-parter with EP Charles Rosin (part 1 and part 2) and another with producer/writer Larry Mollin.

His Christmas wish denied:

Too bad. They need to stand firm.

Some people never will.

What?!

I like Booker, but boy do people hate him.

She's also (AFAIK) still on the outs with former BFF Jennie Garth and Tori, sadly. Shannen, who has mended all those relationships in recent years, is much more likely. To be clear I am all for a revival properly honoring the original cast. I think the 2008 show was trash and should be nuked from continuity - it did waste good new talents as well, as we've all discussed before. But I still think any revival will require a new teen cast, just like the '08 show, but much more well-executed.

I don't see how you could do 90210 without a new youth cast (backstopped by the originals) or MP without the complex. Neither makes sense to me.

Oh: And someday, someone has to bring back Valerie. I've said it before, but Tiffani-Amber Thiessen shocked the hell out of me as a Saved by the Bell kid and changed her career forever with that debut season. That's a perfect example of creating the anti-Brenda and doing something new - something they cleverly camouflaged in advance press until the end of the Season 5 premiere.

I don't remember Donna being crazy. I remember her and David's marriage being estranged or just strained in Season 1 in her brief appearance, but that was it.

Shannen and Tori were both in Season 1 of the CW show.

I've barely ever watched The Doctors. Just a handful of '60s episodes.

Nuke the previous revival and do it. Pretend CW 90210 never happened. MP's revival was better (if still deeply flawed) but will prob never happen again, especially with Heather Locklear's RL situation.
