Thanks. Very moving interview. I'm glad she and the other 90210 cast are in a better place now.

Here's an interview she did in 1999. It starts around an hour and 37 minutes in. Amusingly, the host mistakes Alyssa Milano for Tori Spelling.

RIP Shannen Doherty. What sad news to see so early in the day. My 1990s teen heart is broken

I'm team Brenda for life. 90210 wasn't the same after Brenda departed for London, the 30th anniversary of was in May. 

It's a little surreal that both Shannen Doherty and Luke Perry are no longer with us.

I know Shannen's career spanned numerous roles but to me she will forever be Brenda Walsh.

Heartbroken. We all knew this was coming sooner rather than later, but she was so active right up until the end with the podcast and attending conventions. She was scheduled for 90s con in September.

Aaron Spelling had a knack for casting these women who seem like they have a steel wire running through them. They were never dull, and always gave compelling, interesting performances even when the script was subpar. Shannen was one. Kate Jackson is another. And Pamela Sue Martin is a third. In all three cases, the actresses didn’t stay for the full run of their series, and those shows were never the same without them.

I parallel Pamela Sue Martin departure from Dynasty to Shannen Doherty departure from 90210. After their respective departures the cast dynamics were off on both shows and both shows were never the same, despite Dynasty lasting 5 more seasons and even having a season at #1 and 90210 lasting 6 more seasons. Fun fact, their departures are separated by 10 years 16 days (Dynasty season 4 finale May 9, 1984 and 90210 season 4 finale May 25, 1994).

@te., thanks for uploading that video of Brenda and Dylan.

I bought the first two seasons of Beverly Hills 90210 on DVD when the series was first released.

It was a big, big, BIG mistake giving away all my VHS tapes in favor of the DVDs.

The discs were horrible quality; episodes missing scenes and all the original music replaced by elevator-like muzak, which completely destroyed the tone and feeling of the show. Without REM's Losing My Religion, the scene you uploaded here was emotionally empty.

Now I research DVDs thoroughly before I buy them, and if the original soundtrack has been cut and replaced, I won't buy them.

Tour of Duty and the original Roswell were two more TV series ruined or at least seriously damaged by music changes when they came to DVD.

    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...

    • And based on the previews for today, maybe we’ll, uh, finally see something

    • Haven't seen today's ep yet but so will be interested to see the clothes. So far I think they have been very character specific (even if I don't like some of them eg Kat's cutsie style) Anita is very showy/glittery, Nicole classic elegance, Dani sexy/bold colors etc. Unlike Y&R which seems much more generic. Also BTG pays attention to the men's wardrobe and has developed a style for the boyz-which is harder to do with male fashion. The absence of any of Derek/Ashley at any of these big events again demonstrates how they are in a different universe to the rest of the show. Not that a nurse and a fireman would be there but still they seem destined at this point to stay in their own lane and have little interaction with the core of the show.
    • Agnes had written for Bernard Grant for many years on TGL as well as Ernest Graves and Joe Gallison,Doris Belack,Robert Milli,and  Antony Ponzini at AW. So she would probably gravitate to writing a role with an actor in mind or choosing someone she had written for before who she knew could deliver.
    • Once Johnny Dallas' cut himself off from Laurie Ann Karr and their son, and once Laurie successfully recovered from her mental problems, she wanted a new, fresh, and healthy start for the next chapter of her life. She legally reverted her name and changed John Victor's  surname to Karr. After moving to the country (when Teri  Keane was dropped from the show), Bill and Martha Marceau legally adopted Jennifer, the baby girl whom they had earlier taken in when the child's biological mother, Taffy Simms (and other bio family members) proved to be unfit to raise her. Jennifer legally and emotionally became a Marceau, and gave that name to her own daughter, whom Jennifer birthed through surrogacy as a single parent. Et...voila! The Karr and Marceau legacies live on.

    • BLQ is having second thoughts regarding putting her baby up for adoption. Chase is upset he can't tell Dante. So both are putting this on at lulus feet. Saying she is holding it over them. Lulu is doing none of this. 
    • Yes she absolutely was involved in that story which seems to have gone nowhere.  She didn't start to remove herself from the writing until 1973.
    • Y'all are bringing back great memories of AMC 2.0 for me.  I haven't thought about it and the new characters in so long, well since it aired, and I plan to go re-watch it now. When AMC ended, I finally came to peace with it and accepted that I will never watch an hour of a TV show daily in my life again... something that I had been doing since I was 6-7 years old. I was starting a new career, relationship, and chapter in life when AMC 2.0 came out.  I found a way to watch it, but things felt differently for me at the time and when it was so short-lived and gone, it became such a distant memory, sadly.
