I was reading that Shannon Daugherty tried out for a roll on AMC!

Does anyone know what the role was/could be? I wonder if it was Kendall.

Doubtful. Doherty was already a "big" star the first time Kendall showed up to town.

Maybe someone like Emily Ann or Melanie (both characters that were teen/young) back in the late 80s pre-90210.

I had no idea who this is.

You must mean Shannen Doherty.

Beverly Hills, 90210 started in 1990, so it had to be around that time frame/before.

I would bet it was pre-1985.
