Jennie Garth Joins 90210 Spinoff — It’s Official!

Jennie Garth, an original cast member of Beverly Hills, 90210, has snagged herself a recurring role (not a regular one) on the CW’s new spinoff of 90210.

Garth, 36, will be reprising her role as Kelly Taylor but will play a guidance counselor at her alma mater, West Beverly High. Former 90210 stars Tori Spelling and Ian Ziering are also out to secure roles in the new spinoff.

Last month, Jennie abruptly dropped out of the CBS comedy pilot, My Best Friend’s Girl.

Also last month, AnnaLynne McCord and Dustin Milligan joined the 90210 spinoff.

Other additions to the show’s grown-up cast include Lori Laughlin (Summerland) and Jessica Walter (Arrested Development).

I think this show has the potential to be better than the original: Back then it was very cheesey. The dialogue was terrible. It was like an after-school special half the time, but still addicting. With good writing, this show can be great.

now all they have to do is sign on Jason Priestley…so Jay&Jen can have a reunion and they can set things straight once in for all with Brandon and Kelly. they desereved each other…dylan and kelly were the default ending…if jason returned it would have been B/K getting their happily ever after wedding!!!!

I love 90210. I don’t think this spin-off will be very good without more of the original cast. They never should have killed Toni!

The original Beverly Hills 90210 was a piece of crap! I don´t get it why people have this nostalgia about it. This new spinoff can only be an improvement.
Jennie Garth looks great, way better than she did when she was on Bevely Hills. And AnnaLynne McCord is smoking hot!

Brenda was the best character on that show. Why would Jenny Garth drop out of a CBS pilot for a CW one? The show is going to be awful, but I am sure it will have a teen following as most of these sub par shows do.

Bad idea. Remakes of classics in tv and movies are so jump the shark.

I am more likely to watch if the old cast have reoccurring roles. Still, I don’t think they are going to come close to the original series.

She looks nice. I seem to see her sexy profile on a dating site named ‘r i ch k is s. c o m’. She is very hot there.
